I'm on day... 3? 2? First couple days I had a bad headache along with everything else. Now It's just typical flu symptoms. Not as much congestion as before, which is great, but I do have a very runny nose which I find to be quite a nuisance. My taste buds don't seem to be working the same which is a concern... I've heard some people have had a permanent loss of smell and taste so I hope that doesn't happen to me. Otherwise it doesn't seem so bad, it's more or less like the flu lol. I find it a little funny that it's taken me nearly 3 years to finally get COVID. I don't have HCQ/Ivermectin but I am using an alternative protocol that the America's Frontline Doctors recommended.
Still not getting the shot(s). Never will.
Please do not take my post as an affront to you and your illness. Take is as "I am so sick and tired of people trying to legitimize covid I can hardly stand it anymore."
Hubby and I are over 77 and he works Customer Service at Home Depot. Neither one of us wear masks. Neither one of us had anything more than a runny nose a couple of time in the last three years.
So let's pretend that you never heard of the word COVID.
Let's pretend that what you are experiencing are the symptoms of something called "The Flu" from over three years ago.
Loss of taste is usually a result of the normal flu as are all the other symptoms you state.
Flu symptoms usually come on suddenly. People who have flu often feel some or all of these symptoms:
fever* or feeling feverish/chills cough sore throat runny or stuffy nose muscle or body aches headaches fatigue (tiredness)
Are you sure you have Covid or are you experiencing the usual flu?
I am not trying to put you down, I am just trying to make sure that people are not thinking they have Covid, which cannot be proven due to the lab tests, and they are having just the normal flu as we experience every year.
And the PCR tests are a waste of money as they do nothing more than compare your "test" to three types of the flu. Nothing to compare it to Covid as they still cannot produce the test results for Covid.
Hope you get well and appreciate that I am 1000% sure you do not have CV19.
I just had what I believe was covid and it had me feeling like I got hit by a truck. It was the first time my entire household was sick simultaneously as well so there's definitely something to it from what I've experienced. I'm also under 30 and fit so I usually laugh off a cold/flu. Ivermectin helped tremendously though.
