My husband and I have covid. We’ve been taking the paste and I do believe it’s kept us from getting worse especially when it comes to the respiratory part of the illness. My husband has been on disability for 15 years due to encephalitis from a mosquito. He has mainly suffered fatigue and bad headaches during that time. He’s been sick with covid for over a week now and I’m reading it can get worse in week two for some people. I always figured if he got it, it would be a rough one getting over it. Well, here’s the thing. Last night he started getting mildly confused and some of his words were off...not a lot, but it reminded me of 15 years ago, except back then he had 105 degree temp and I rushed him to the hospital. He has not suffered from a fever with covid but he really doesn’t get them anymore since his bout 15 years ago. I don’t trust hospitals and he can’t get an MRI anyway due to some lead in his neck from a disc surgery. He takes a lot of CBD daily for inflammation and THC for pain already. I’m wondering if anyone out there has gotten through the confusion part of the virus without going to the hospital? I know they won’t let me stay with him as I tested positive yesterday. Hospitals around here all do the ventilator/remdesivir protocol. He’s sleeping now and appeared to sleep well all night. We called frontline doctors two days ago and are awaiting a script. This is a new development though. Please pray for wisdom and guidance and healing. I believe we have better meds than the hospital will administer but I’m also not a doctor. I don’t want to make a mistake that will cost him either his life or his mental capacity. Please don’t judge me for not taking him last night. This is a real war and the hospitals are an enemy to most of us. I need to know some real guidance and prayer. I know he’s a unique case. Thanks in advance.

It’s more than fog, it’s actual confusion and saying things that make absolutely no sense. What that your case?
Not a doctor here but i am a stoner. You mentioned he was taking CBD+THC for pain relief. Probably the biggest negative ive noticed with THC is it messes with your short term memory. Idk how much your husband takes or for how long, and im not gonna ask but i thought it might be possible that the mild confusion from the wuflu is stacking on top of the memory problems from the THC. Its possible that could lead to him saying something, getting slightly distracted, and having that thought completely forgotten almost instantly causing more confusion. Its happened to me before and i dont even have wuflu
No, I can't say that we experienced that type of confusion. More like being generally forgetful and not remembering having the same conversation several times. This sounds a bit more serious than our experiences. Perhaps because of his health history he is experiencing this on a different level. I'm praying for you both, this is beginning to close in on many of us and I , like you, feel trapped and am not willing to go to any hospital because I fear what they will do. I hope this passes for him, is he taking NAC and/or Glutathione? Our naturopath doctor added these to the vitamins and supplements already mentioned. I have not done a lot of research on these, but I do think they help with mental capacity. Worth checking into, I know I've seen them mentioned on here before.
That's what happened to my father as well. He still dealing with the after effects of the mental confusion and stuff. He was given Remdesivir and it nearly killed him. What I would recommend is if you can try to get antibiotics to take in order to keep any infections from happening if he has any fluid in the lungs. If I were you this is just my opinion but unless it was an extreme emergency I would avoid going to the hospital. If anything I would rather go to a regular doctor but not the hospital. The reason I say that is because in the hospital they can refuse visitations and because of his confusion they could take advantage of that and you wouldn't know what was going on. That's what happened with my father although he's in Montenegro they still did the exact same thing that they're doing some hospitals here. I had to send my sister from Detroit to Montenegro and ended up having to bribe a nurse to sneak him in some hydroxychloroquine that they refused to give them. We couldn't find ivermectin in time but the first day he took that his oxygen went down from 20 to 9 I'm not sure what metric they use those are just the figures we were told
