Sounds like you probably had the Delta variant; reports of people with omicron seem to all be pretty mild. I had covid a couple months ago, probably Delta too, and it was a horrible two weeks, but oddly, no significant, if any at all, lung congestion, at least that I could detect (an occasional cough was about it), but the fatigue was debilitating!
Yes! I couldn’t walk my first few days home. I’m just starting to go up the stairs and it’s week 4. The doc said my body went nuts because of the pregnancy hormones. My husband recovered within 4-5 days without issue.
I was taking zinc, vit C, vit D, but not quercetin because I read it wasn’t safe during pregnancy. My husband got Omicron first then I did 3 days later and I was recovering (fever subsided). But then I started breathing short and coughing for a few days and got physically weak. I didn’t realize my lungs were filling with clots. So I really wasn’t hospitalized for COVID per say but for the low oxygen caused by the clots. The doctors said I somehow also contracted Delta and my pregnancy hormones caused my body to overreact. I was also on steroids to calm my body down. So the treatment was oxygen mask, remdesivir (sp), and steroids during my stay.
I’m unvaxxed and finally recovering today, day 11. It was no joke. Scariest illness of my life.

It starts in the mind. We’re a week in, wife and I. We walk four miles a day and rest. It’s damn near a vacation.
Just wondering were you taking any preventative supplements such as Quercetin, Zinc, Vit C, Vit D?

Yes to everything except quercetin since I’m pregnant and it collects within the baby and is dangerous.
