Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
took 3 weeks for me to shake it when I got the ick, never had anything like that in my life. i did lots of saltwater gargles and showers to steam my beat up lungs, took lots of stuff to support the immune system. seemed to help. God Bless.
Well I’m glad you are back on your feet. Same never experienced anything like this. It’s got to be manmade. I have no doubt about that. I did everything I could think of. Usually I can knock out something like this with herbs and supplements. Nothing has helped! And I have an arsenal of herbs. Lots of supplements that normally help. Dimetapp and Robitussin DM did nothing. It’s like it was made to be unstoppable. I know several people that have had same & some symptoms different after six weeks to several months they still have some symptoms. But I’m sure they don’t take supplements like everyone does here. I’ve procrastinated to long. I’m getting ivermectin and might take daily or at least at on set of symptoms. I’m on day 19 and I waited too long to go to the doctor. I’m so sick I had get antibiotics. Yep, had the poison swabs also. I didn’t see any way around it. Just praying and trusting God to protect me from the posion. I almost wish it was in my lungs. I have Chinese medicine herb supplement that clears lungs. I’ve had terrible bronchitis before and it cleared it quickly. Did nothing this time. Dr office did xray on my lungs, I think because my cough was so bad. They could hear me outside the little room. I believe they were sure I had RSV. Nope just bad sinus infection, ear infection (doesn’t hurt) and slight fever. My cough is from mucus at base of throat or esophagus. I start coughing like it’s coming up and it takes leaning over sink like I’m going to puke to get on finger nail size of thick crud. Have slept maybe 2-3 hours every night in the recliner, can’t recline. Thank God it’s comfortable! God bless you also and glad you are better😀
