Began feeling bad a few days before Xmas. Body aches, chills, migraine, congestion, swollen glands, which all now have cleared up since last Monday. Now I have been dealing with the congestion and it's slows my breathing. It feels better when I can get the phlegm out.
Meds taken: First five days ivermectin, followed up with another dose on day 7. Zinc, vitamin c, d, quercetin, NAC, thermaflu.
Did a teledoc session last night and was prescribed an antibiotic for bacteria sinus infection.
Appetit is non-existent, with consuming a piece of fruit or two a day.
My wife had similar symptoms which started a couple of days after mine. She is now almost 100%.
SUN, and treat your food as medication. Your body is fighting and it need the nutrition to fight. If unable to breathe while eating, at least make some nutritional fruit smoothies and sip and hydrate all day. Prayers your way.
Thanks, unfortunately the sky's here in south Jersey have been peppered by trails over the last two weeks.
Those bastards! I’m sorry.
Monoclonal.
Your doing everything else right. As someone who has lived with chronic sinus issues i feel your pain.
Me too... Put a dab of honey in the back of your throat.
One of my favorites. Saline rinses are great too. One of the biggest factors of my sinus issues was lake water. Once i stopped going on lakes it cleared up a lot. Found that out almost a decade ago. Id get crushing headaches and nose completely clogged. Took claratin daily for years. Now i dont.
I feel you. I'm on day 6 - got sick Monday. Taking all the protocol and was much better on Wed and Thurs. Guess I overdid it. Had a full relapse yesterday. Another day in bed, and I'll be here in bed all day again today. The congestion is gross, but it's the body aches, muscle pain, and headache that's really getting to me. Forcing myself to eat in order to hold down all these vitamins and supplements. Think I'm also going to have to get some antibiotics for sinus infection. As bad as this is, I'll still never get that effing jab. Hang in there. God have us an amazing natural immune system, even if what we're fighting doesn't naturally occur in nature.
Mucinex helped me with the chest congestion.
Yeah, the teledoc recommended that I switch to Mucinex and stop the Theraflu. I just picked it up along with the antibiotics.
When I had it the thing that helped my lungs the most was food grade H2O2 in a nebulizer.
Check out this free book (as posted elsewhere on GAW by 7_17_24) https://rvr.medfoxpub.com/. It is Dr Thomas Levy's evidence for the use of hydrogen peroxide via nebulizer to kill any germs in the airway passages (including covid). This can prevent and treat illness. He says that most people can use the 3% peroxide, sold OTC, full strength. If it makes your nasal passages burn, then diluted with equal parts of water or saline will work just as well. The more dilute the peroxide solution, the longer it takes to recover, if you are ill. I bought a nebulizer on Amazon for $86, including S&H.
I’ve been putting a few drops in my ear the past few days to get rid of an earache.
I know how you feel. In October I lost 13 pounds. Even my Reverse Osmosis water tasted bad. I was sick for a month. Mostly devoid of energy. It will pass.
Chicken noodle soup. Lots of it
Damn, maybe I had it and didn't know. I have extreme fatigue, for me. No other symptoms. Thought it was from stress of husband's odd illness but I don't know. No motivation which is unusual, could be depression too. Who knows? The weather has been odd too for this time of year.
better eat more than that if you want to get better
That is the one difference between my wife and I, she has been eating the whole time.
I just forced down a big bowl of oatmeal. May try a protein shake in a little while.
Blend blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and o.j. into a smoothy, twice daily.
Eat as much asparagus as you can handle. ( super anti-oxidant )
Drink hot toddy before bedtime > 1oz whisky, tablespoon of honey, tablespoon lemon juice, 8oz boiling water.
Take cayenne and garlic supplements and the usual Zinc, Vitamin D, C and B complex that are always suggested.
For upset stomach, drink 2oz of dill pickle juice. In fact, pickle juice once a day along with apple cider vinegar tabs will absolutely help you lose weight.
Try some Boost in the meantime.
Use honey put a blop on your finger and stick it in the back of your throat.
You will immediately feel your sinus airwaves respiratory open and quickly break up that phlegm to get rid of it. Anytime you want to cough or having trouble and you know your lungs are full stick that flop of honey in the back of your throat and within 2 minutes it will break up that load and you will be able to expel it.
That is more honey than what is in a stupid cough drop that really contains menthol to break up the breathing in the sinuses.
For the lungs just put that dab of honey in the back of your throat!
Manuka Honey! Greatest medicinal honey in the world from New Zealand. Somewhat costly.
Cretan honey is just as good.
Did you drink alcohol over Xmas? It's a toxin you know..a poison..your body will be dealing with getting rid of the toxins producing symptoms people call influenza..or over eating foods your immune system has been struggling to deal with.
The week before Xmas was the last time I had any drinks. Once I start ivm I stay away from drinking.
Soup and sleep!
Thanks for starting this thread, and here’s my story. If anyone has any suggestions or helpful hints….
Wife and I have been horribly sick the night we returned from a small vacation. I’m pretty certain we caught it from some friends who were just recovering from the flu (unknown if COVID). The first night we hung out with them I could feel my throat tingling so I took 24 mg of Ivermectin and within a few hours my symptoms were gone. The mistake I made was not continuing the Ivermectin - I thought I was going to be free and clear of it, as I’ve been fortunate enough three times previously in fighting off similar infections by just taking one dose of Ivermectin. My wife is not a solid believer in Ivermectin, as she’s taken it a few times before and didn’t think it helped her as she’s been struggling with sinus and throat ailments from constant mask wearing (“required” for work, although she complies just enough to keep her bosses off her back). She’s probably been dealing with bacterial and not viral infections.
Over the next several days my wife was getting sicker and sicker while I was doing just fine. During this time we were also taking our supplements (D3, Quercetin, NAC, C, etc.,) so I mistakenly thought I was going to escape another viral infection just like the previous episodes. By the last day of our vacation, my wife seemed to be doing better and we visited our friends a second time (in the interim both had relapses, isolated themselves, and thought they had recovered again), as we assumed we were okay to socialize with them again.
By the following morning my wife was sick again, and I could feel the flu coming on. By the time we got home later that night we were both terribly sick.
Both of us started on the Zelenko Protocol right away. Unfortunately… it hasn’t really had the effect I thought it would, meaning our recovery has been going slower than anticipated. I think the biggest difference in my recovery over the last two days is that I added HCQ and large doses of antibiotics to the mix, as my wife was pretty sure she was getting strep throat, too. (One HUGE side benefit of taking the HCQ, which I had completely forgotten about, is that it has anti-inflammatory properties. I threw my lower back out just a few days before the vacation and I’d been in constant pain since then. One dose of the HCQ and about 80% of the pain was gone!!)
Yesterday we could both feel ourselves getting better but then both of us had a relapse and we thought we were back to Square One. Just before going to bed last night I took more Ivermectin, HCQ, antibiotics, and chased it with some NyQuil. When I woke up this morning I felt like a Million Dollars!! (Joe Biden dollars, so not as great as it could be.).
During the past six days we’ve had ZERO appetite and it’s been difficult to eat anything. On top of that, anything we’ve eaten has gone right through us, so it’s been hard to keep up on our nutrition. (Finally took some Pepto Bismal last night to slow things down). The worst of our symptoms, though, has been the extreme tiredness and fatigue. Just getting up to eat something has been exhausting.
Once I’m well enough to get to a store I’m going to buy a couple of COVID test kits (QuickVue) to see what they say. I’m doing this mostly out of curiosity, but it might be something that I can use at work if the bosses start asking questions. These are the same test kits they’re using on us weekly at work, as I’m the lone “un-vaxxed” holdout in my office. I’m pretty sure we don’t have “COVID” but rather the flu or a stomach virus.
Thanks for reading, and if you have any suggestions beyond what’s already been stated, please feel free to share. This Board has been a cornucopia of useful information, and it’s been a blessing to share this space with you. God Bless!
Teaspoon of honey every 4 hours. My doctor who is based had that added to the other stuff you’re taking.
mucinex max
If antibiotic is prescribed that means you would have gotten better on ur own anyway all it does it kill 1% of ur total cells it’s poison n. The reason why medical cabal can get away wuth that is when ur poisoned it stops ur flu which ur body started on its own for cleanse in its tracks and people have been taught that poisoning urself to stop symptoms of a healthy detox ia healthy because the symptoms go away pretty much instantly and u get better not because ur detox has taken its course naturally and healthfully but because u stopped the healthy process. If people would not be lied to blatantly about their bodies they wouldnt fall for attacking their bodies irrationally with poison cuz they would understand there was nothing to fear in the first place. Doctors are germ theor of disease terrorists the whole idea of sterilizing things is ridiculous and a hoax you can cure cancer by eating bovine feces it melts tumors everything they say is a lie freemasons love to bqck hospitals cuz they are satanic death wards.
Cure cancer by eating bull shit? I suppose bull shit is appropriate for such a claim haha. Do you wash your hands after your go to the bathroom? If you don't believe in germs do you not wash your hands before you prepare food, or after you handle raw chicken? I sure wouldn't want to eat any food you prepare. Maybe you had just eaten bull shit and never washed your hands.
Put on 3 pairs of sweatpants and 3 sweatshirts. Get a heating pad and a space heater. Get in bed with the heating pad and a ton of thick blankets. Crank the heating pad and the space heater. Keep your head under the covers. Break a sweat and keep sweating for 2-4 hours. Rehydrate every 30 minutes. Sweat, sweat, sweat.
Fluids, protein (bone broth soup if you can't eat solids) with lots and lots of rest is the healing triumvirate.
It's really variable between people isn't it!
The 'rona made me ill back in 2020 and it took a while to recover.
If you have lost your sense of smell, then it is covid-19.
My sense of smell is very slowly returning and I was sick more than one month ago.
I had a fever of about 102 the first day, and then for a week it alternated between normal and about 100 or 101. I was able to work from home, it was really no big deal, except that I was completely unable to smell anything. It makes changing the cat litter box much less disgusting.
My sense of taste was everything tasted bad. Sickly sweet, incredibly salty, metalic taste. I couldn't eat. Now normal...everything taste great! Putting some weight back on and rebuilding muscle. I suffered the entire month of October,
