Lately been seeing posts about folks who've done everything right and still have bad covid.
Before going to the hospital, this therapy is worth a try. Difficulty breathing is very scary, and once it starts with Covid, it can worsen rapidly.
This happened to me. I was already on the recommended vitamins, and I was in a bad state, no knowledge of ivermectin at the time, and for me it felt like my choices were this nebulizer therapy, death, or the hospital. (Yes, I had a major comorbidity: type 1 diabetes. Otherwise healthy and active, my breathing had become increasingly difficult and was a few days past the worrying stage.
Fortunately the nebulizer therapy worked quickly. Everything is OTC, way faster than getting a prescription or an appointment, and very inexpensive, with the exception of the nebulizer, $40-100. (Obviously nothing compared to any hospital cost.) All usually available in one trip to a pharmacy.
It quickly calmed my breathing, and I felt a little better immediately, and much better overnight. I continued for weeks, not out of any discipline or respect for medicine, but because it was so obviously helpful. It is worth a try.
When covid is bad, it can sneak up on people. Both articles are good. After reading I think you'll agree there is a big upside compared to almost no downside.

By all means, do the vitamins, NAC, IVM or HCQ, I'm not opposed to any of those things. But don't ignore breathing issues especially if they seem to get progressively worse, and keep this in mind. These articles mention more than one formula- if you're skittish, just start with the most diluted; your body will tell you if it helps and you can priced from there. Pro tip in comment about making nebulizing even easier.
Pro tip: instead of making a big batch and worrying about measuring tiny amounts, here's what I did:
Wound wash sterile saline from the first aid section comes in a pressurized can, so anything you don't use is preserved and remains sterile without refrigerating. (Don't use contact lens saline- it has preservatives. Read labels carefully.)
Regular hydrogen peroxide from the pharmacy can be measured easily and accurately by 0.01ml increments using a diabetic syringe which are sold behind the counter but without a prescription.
This way you can mix it each time: squirt the saline directly into the nebulizer cup and add the precise amount of hydrogen peroxide whenever you use it, rather than make a big batch and have to make a spot in your fridge to store it. I didn't refrigerate the hydrogen peroxide, but you're supposed to. 5ml of saline to 0.03ml (three units on the syringe) of hydrogen peroxide was what I used.
(About the syringes: your pharmacy should sell those to you without a prescription; I believe this is a law. You probably will need to sign for the purchase. They are sold in packs of 10, in sizes of 25, 50, and 100 units: the 25 unit will be easiest to measure, but 50 is still easy and a more common size. I left the aluminum foil on the peroxide bottle and poked a hole in it with the syringe to make it easier to draw the right amount. I also re-used the syringe, because you're only dipping it into a disinfectant, and it never contacts anything else but air.)
Are you fully recovered now? If so, how long did it take, once you started using this treatment - to get to where you could breathe normally again? Thanks.
The "difficulty breathing" felt like I was sucking air just fine, but into a balloon that got smaller and stronger, as if it required more effort to pack it in, rather than more air. It was weird. But when I was at rest, it wasn't bad at all. Until it was.
So until the difficulty was near-constant, it was basically fine until I hiked a mountain. And then fine until I walked a mile. And then fine until I walked 2 blocks to the store. You get the idea. At the same time I had a pervasive lethargy, which kept me from wanting to walk a few blocks. After a while it became a problem all the time. So when it reversed, it reversed mostly the same way. Better, and better, but more in terms of endurance until difficulty, rather than becoming less difficult.
After nebulizing, it was immediately apparent that it helped. For the first few days I nebulized 5 or 6 times a day, and by the end of a week I felt downright energetic. And then I slacked off, and it came back gradually. But it was a lot less frightening, knowing that I could fix it. So I kept nebulizing 2-4 times a day randomly for a few weeks, even when I felt pretty good, just because I didn't want it to come back.
Lol. I don't blame you. Not being able to breathe is scary. Glad you're better.
And yeah, I'm totally recovered now. I'm even over the paranoia, as I was hyper-aware of my breathing for months after. But this was April 2020. A long time ago.
