My husband and I are over COVID now and I want to thank everyone who gave me advice. I took vitamin D, C, Quinine, antihistamine daily before getting covid, Ivermectin weekly after a more aggressive initial frequency to try to alleviate vaccine symptoms. After getting COVID I added in Bayer and black cumin. Edited to add that we both took zinc.

I also was vaccinated.

I'm pretty surprised that my husband and I both got fairly strong cases with fever and headaches being our most severe symptoms. Some lingering symptoms were fatigue and body aches. All in all we had a few bad days and then it was over.

I'm so grateful that we have a small rural hospital that allowed us to get monoclonal antibodies even though we didn't qualify due to a "shortage". Bigger hospitals seem to have a lottery even for people who quality. I think the antibodies made all of the difference. The fever and headaches were pretty bad. My husband got up to 103.5 and I had the worst fevers the night after getting antibodies. I was a little concerned that my oxygen % got down to 94% but after the antibodies I stopped testing and I am fine now. Honestly, it's hard to tell but I am not sure ivermectin helped me. Edited to add that we both had chills. It certainly didn't keep me from getting covid and also didn't help me once I tested positive in any noticeable way ... I guess I hoped I wouldn't need the antibodies.

I'm not sure what to make of it all but I am glad it is over!! Thank you for your advice -- I increased our dosages and added a few meds. I don't think I would have considered the antibodies if it weren't recommended here.
