Two weeks ago today I caught the covids. It started off like a regular flu. Four days into it, the fever grew out of control for my wife and I and we were laid out on our asses fast. I did not have ivermectin until day 5 and it was horse liquid not paste. I took 1.2 CCs daily of the Dyurvet brand and it didn't seem to do much. We completely lost our sense of smell and taste. It hurts for me to look at this screen and type on a keyboard. Today the fever continues to try and come back, I'm fighting it off with Tylenol. Zinc, Vita D, Quercetin didn't seem to do a whole lot for me. This illness fucked me up severely and I'm lucky to be alive. I went to the hospital 3 times, not for oxygen levels but for what felt like panic attacks. At the hospital they immediately saw a pneumonia spot in my lung also.
What really concerns me more than anything is in my mid 40s, I now am having random heart pains, and pain in my forearms. Is it myocarditis or some other heart illness ? How is it possible? I was completely healthy, not diabetic, not smoker/drinker, and yet I'm randomly and disturbingly getting these sensations at least a few times an hour.
The bastards that are responsible for unleashing this illness upon us need to fucking HANG and die horrible painful deaths. If I didn't have a family, I might sacrifice myself on that hill to make an example out of the nearest CDC/FDA office. I find the "do a terror" meme humorous, but if you were in my position, having been what I just went through, I don't see why going postal wouldn't put a smile on my face going out in a blaze of glory. From where I'm sitting, there have been 0 arrests, the shit show continues tomorrow, and I appear to be completely FUCKED if its Myocarditis.
My Dad is experiencing the exact same thing. We were late to start Ivermectin for him because my mom used my entire stash it took me three months to accumulate when she was sick and my dad refused the prophylactic dosing because he thought he would be fine. I just ordered from buy-pharma.md without a prescription so I have access to the meds I need in time for other loved ones. (Be your own doctor with caution pls - takes 15-25 days to get the meds so plan in advance).
It is well known now that after the viral phase of COVID, for people who don't really exterminate it there, the disease progresses to a pulmonary phase which damages lung and other healthy body tissues. The FLCCC recommends Methylprednisolone and Heparin as primary treatments in their protocol for hospitalized patients whose COVID has progressed (protocol at covid19criticalcare.com). I lobbied with his doctor to ensure he got the methylprednisolone instead of their default dexamethasone which is far less effective for COVID. The anticoagulant he received in hospital was called lovenox which is fine. Because of his high D dimer numbers at discharge I insisted they send us home with an anticoagulant and they sent home INJECTIBLE lovenox at a prophylactic, not treatment, dose. They should have ordered an oral anticoagulant along with appropriate testing but these people want the unvaccinated to die and they blindly follow their hospital protocols so I was lucky to get the injectables despite the distaste of administering them.
My Dad was in the hospital for 13 days. Yesterday he had been home for 6 days and while he has reported some tightness in his chest every day, yesterday he had other symptoms of possible clotting including tingling/numbness in the arm, pain in the left should/neck area and a racing pulse that exceeded 145 when he got up and walked several feet. His oxygen use needs have been steadily improving since he's been home but he was sent home with D dimer still in a very dangerous range in the 930s (healthy people have D dimer below 200 and most COVID patients admitted to hospital are between 500-900). On admission dad's D dimer was in the high 900s so from my perspective and according to that metric, they sent him home to us when he was still at the same level of risk as he was when we admitted him (his D dimer number went up to over 6,000 while in hospItal possibly partly because it took them nearly 2 full days to admit him to a room and begin treating him during which time.he got progressively worse without as much as a vitamin C or D pill!) indicating that microclotting WAS still happening in his body at the time of discharge. It is common for D dimer numbers and for the problem of microclotting in the blood to continue after hospital discharge from COVID. A pretty high percentage of patients are readmitted after discharge from hospital due to clotting events post discharge. In my opinion this is due to the gross negligence of hospitals and primary care physicians to appropriately prescribe for and monitor microclotting after discharge as those issues resolve over time in the body and the patient is restored to health.
For what it's worth my Dad has been taking NAC twice a day since he has been home as well as full strength aspirin and is still having these problems. I have been making him eat "perfectly" (no inflammatory agents from animal products until he is well) but realized yesterday that some of the foods I have been piling into him are extremely high in Vitamin K - the nutrient responsible for healthy blood clotting in the body! So, even the food you feed your loved one after discharge needs to be carefully researched and don't expect any education on this from your doctor. I would recommend feeding fruits and vegetables and supplementing with B vitamins but definitely focus on those that are low in Vitamin K and that aid in good blood viscosity like tomatoes, tomato juice, onions, garlic, turmeric....etc. A good list of foods safe to feed when your loved one is having clotting issues can be found at Kfreedaily.com
For foods high in vitamin K to avoid or limit in the early recovery phase of pulmonary COVID just search your favorite web browser. Definitely bring the leafy greens back in as soon as your loved one gives evidence that clotting issues and damage from the virus are resolved in their body. Hopefully this helps someone.
Update: Yestereay dad had a CTA (a type of Cat Scan that can ck for pulmonary embolism) in the emergency room just in case. He also had updated D dimer test. His D dimer number had dropped down to the 630 range which is great from the 930 at discharge though still elevated and indicating some microclotting. His CTA came back clear. So - possible but less likely that there is a sizable clot somewhere to be concerned with dislodging and moving through the body.
Next possibility is that elevated heart rate was the result of improper tapering off his steroid at hospital discharge. He was on 40mg of methylprednisolone in the hospital. Proper tapering based on his 2+ weeks of steroid use would have been 5 days at 20mg and 5 days at 10mg. Hospital intern discharged him with 3 days at 8mg and 3 days at 4 mg. So, first day he experienced racing heart rate was also first day the steroid was not available to his body. Some people may have steroid withdrawal even when following a proper tapering schedule so these symptoms are good to be aware of. https://www.healthline.com/health/psoriasis/prednisone-withdrawal
This was really informative. I bet the doctors didn't know how to handle you. I started ivermectin too late. I probably would not have had to go to the hospital once if I had planned ahead.
I'm still having random pains in forearms and heart area. I'm going to stick with 600 mg for now. I finally started to be able to eat and put some weight back on.
