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.
Thank you what city are you in? We are in Minnesota so not sure if that will be the case here.
