I'm the person who's rapid test and pcr test came back (+) for covid around the 8th. I spent a week at home on Ivermectin and home brewing tea's before I became so short of breath and had to go to the ED.
I've since been in the hospital recovering with oxygen. I never was intubated, or vented.
The public shaming I got from not taking the shot is intense. I laid up in bed awake many nights wondering if I had made the right decision. I am now within an hour from discharge and I've been told that I could get the shot on the way out.
So from the 6th to now, my body's been developing natural immunity and I'm supposed to put that aside and still take the shot. I'm returning home and my life will never be the same.
They're saying I'm returning home with 4-6 liters of oxygen, I won't be able to work and I'm not sure how long I'll be laid up like this. Time will only tell.
Were you treated at all for pneumonia? Antibiotics, steroid inhalers? Any xrays or anything like that to show your lung condition? If you have lingering inflammation are you taking anything for that? Personally I found 800 mg Quercetin is a real dehydrator and improves breathing, if you aren't taking that you could try it. And any medical person who is shaming you is not worth listening to, scroom.
CAT scan and daily x-ray showed major infiltration in my lungs. Bilateral pneumonia. I seem to be having some spasms that are coming along with it as well oh, but I try to deal with it. I drove home and I've slept more than I ever have in my entire life.
Sleep is good, won't go wrong with rest. You may still have residual fluid or bacterial debris to cough out that is interfering with oxygenation. And you could still need antibiotics.
