I got covid at a party on July 3rd (Im fairly positive I got it through shedding) and was starting to get flu like symptoms by the time I went to bed that night. July 4th, I was in bed all day with flu symptoms, and had a temp that got as high as 103. I broke the fever that night and on the 5th was starting to feel better and my flu symtoms turned into a bad cold that really set into my sinuses and kept trying to set into my chest, that lasted for a couple of weeks.
Now, did I go out and get some bullshit PCR test as soon as I knew I was getting sick? Of course not, I treated my sickness like I have countless other times before, with common sense. I didnt call the "frontline doctors" or run to Tractor Supply and buy up all the horse paste, I let my body fight it naturally.
Im 48 years old and I take fairly good care of myself. I exercise and watch what I put into my body as far as diet and I quit drinking alcohol. I got pretty sick, but I have been sicker and I knew that this so called "covid" wasnt anything life threatening. How do I know it was covid if I didnt get "tested"? I lost my sense of taste and smell and just recently got both of them back.
Like I said earlier, I used common sense when I was sick and that seems to have gotten lost in all of this covid nonsense. I isolated myself, I put good nutritious meals into me, drank orange juice and stayed hydrated and let my immune system do its job, pretty simple.
It blows my mind how people have no clue on how their body works or functions and will go out and eat shit like horse paste or load up on Ivermectin and Hydroxychloriquin (which are still petrochemicals) instead of looking into how to change their diet and stop eating fast food all the time or cutting back on booze and drinking more water or something as simple as getting outside in the sun for some vitamin D.
Im done dealing with retards and Im probably gonna get some shit over this post but I dont care. If people would just take better care of themselves we wouldnt be in this mess we are in.....
We got it July ‘20, wife (age 46 at the time) got it a day and a half before me (53).
Neither of us took anything for it. Sick (normal flu symptoms) for about 12 hours (me) and 18 hours (her) and after that initial sickness period we felt about 75% better, and spent the following week (me) and two weeks (her) tapering off the lingering symptoms.
The first several days we were tired and slept a lot more than usual, and also had decreased appetite. After several days I was back on my mountain bike, despite a heavy feeling (hard to describe) in my upper chest when breathing heavy.
We’re both very fit, healthy eaters, and spend a lot of time outdoors in the sun.
EDIT: Just wanted to add that in the 14 months since then, neither of us has had so much as a sniffle. Did fighting it off naturally make our immune systems even stronger?
You must be doing something right if you haven't been sick since last July. May you and your wife continue to be blessed with great health.
