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.

I think a mental fog is certainly part of this "virus" as my family got it and after several weeks are finally beginning to clear up. I had to have conversations with my Mom several times as she didn't remember us discussing anything prior. Both of my parents agreed that they couldn't think straight & seriously I thought I was seeing the early stages of dementia. It's frustrating on the other end to be constantly repeating everything you say, but it does lift! If nothing serious is happening biologically, I would encourage you to hang in there and ride this out. I don't know the extent of his confusion, but I can definitely relate to what we call 'the fog' in my family. I personally believe it's part of the virus & likely meant to scare us to gain compliance.
It’s more than fog, it’s actual confusion and saying things that make absolutely no sense. What that your case?
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.
