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.

Don't know if this will help you but here goes. My husband and I both got COVID at Christmas. I am high risk since I have Heart Failure and multiple medical issues. When I got it I felt awful for about 10 days. Joint pain, headache etc. I didn't have any Prophylactic meds since Kaiser refused to give me any. It took me at least 2 weeks before I felt better. I lost my sense of taste and smell. It took 2 months for it to return. Maybe I'm a nut but I like to say I survived the WUFLU like a Warrior. My docs had me convinced I'd die if I got it, yet told me I was on my own when I did. Rat bastards! It's now been 11 months and I am still experiencing some " long haul" symptoms. My hair fell out in handfuls, which now has lessened. I still have increased fatigue and brain fog. When I say brain fog that's for lack of a better word. What it actually feels like is grasping for a word... then a word comes out of my mouth that's not the right word. It's really weird and scares the crap outta me since my mom had Dementia. When you look up the long term symptoms the top two are fatigue and brain fog/confusion. If your hubby is a little confused I wouldn't worry. If he's confused and has any symptoms of a stroke, mouth down on one side, unable to raise his arm etc. then get to an ER ASAP! If you do go to the ER I'd refuse Remdesiver and a ventilator. This is all my opinion and I'm only speaking from experience. Stay strong and stick together with the hubby. May you both be blessed
