My wife and son (49 and 17, both in excellent health), were down in Florida visiting family. One of the cousins starting feeling bad on Sunday, 7/18. He had it. Now as a primary exposure, they couldn’t fly back. So I had to do a midnight run Monday night down to Jacksonville from Memphis and then turned around and came right back.

My wife started showing symptoms Wednesday of being tired and mild fever. She and my son got tested on Friday and she was positive, son was negative. The first three days were mild fatigue and mild fever (under 100). Then the fatigue after 3 days became so bad she was practically bed ridden, but the fever stayed under 100. She didn’t lose her smell and taste, but lots of things started tasting very different to her.

I got worried when the oximeter was hovering in the low 90s and talked to two of her doctors about treatment. ******* assholes wouldn’t do a goddamn thing for her. Said they’re just following CDC guidelines, which is rest and go to the hospital if your short of breath and your lips turn blue. Just ridiculous nonsense that the CDC refuses to acknowledge any of the proven treatment protocols after 18 months of this disease.

I should not have waited almost 7 days, but I finally contacted a doctor online who has a treatment protocol of hydroxychloroquin, ivermectin, azythromiacin and a Nebulizer breathing treatment. In less than 24 hours after starting the meds she was significantly better. She had some lingering fatigue for a few more days, but her O2 levels steadily increased.

She socially distanced from everyone in the family except me (we continued to share our bed) until I got tested on Tuesday (6 days after she started showing symptoms) and came back negative. I then got an antibody test and that was negative as well. I decided to not press my luck further and started distancing from her.

This past Monday my son started with mild congestion and clearing his throat a lot. He has pollen allergies, so this is normal for him this time of year. He came home from school Wednesday and the congestion was worse and the throat clearing was nonstop. I took him to get tested on Thursday…COVID positive.

We spent about 2 hours in an enclosed car together for the testing process, so here I am again having to quarantine because of another exposure. No symptoms so far. I plan on getting tested for both Covid and antibodies on Tuesday, which will be 5 days after the last major exposure to him. Here’s to hoping I dodge another bullet.

His symptoms are very mild…congestion, dry cough, mild fever and difficulty sleeping. Not really fatigued like my wife. I didn’t wait this time to contact the same online Dr. We are waiting for the Rxs to be called in.

My suggestion is to check with your doctor about an actual treatment protocol for Covid now before you get sick. If they insist on following CDC guidelines, fire them and find another doctor.

Online doctors are an option too and was our only choice for my wife and son since their current doctors are retarded. There are several that are recommended, but with the infection numbers increasing, they’re getting super busy and backed up. I contacted them on Thursday and we’re still waiting for the Rxs to be called in.

The best time to hit the virus with the meds is within 5 days of symptom onset. After that, they tend to become less effective depending on how far the infection has progressed. So, don’t wait.

Good luck to y’all and stay healthy.

Edited to add that none of us are vaccinated and we’ve been taking zinc and quercetin supplements and vitamins D3, C since the first exposure.

Glad everyone is getting through this, I have not had it that I know of but know a lot of people who have, one of which was pretty serious but never admitted, he still has lingering effects.

I have been taking Lomatium root(biscuit root) The Washoe used it during the 1918 flu epidemic and amazingly none of them were effected while people were dying all around them.

My wife is an Ayurveda practitioner(ancient India natural medicine) and knew about the root. You can get pills or tincture , the tincture is gross, tastes like really bitter weeds!

I have no idea if this is helpful, am not a doctor so do your own research, but it is simply oil from the root of the plant, some people get a rash from it. Pretty amazing when you research the Washoe and the flu epidemic!

Had it back in October. 2 days of a raging headache, like being hit with a hammer repeatedly. Lost smell and taste on the 3rd day when the headache went away. Was tired with little appetite for a week. Smell and taste came back about 12 days later. No one directly around me got it. My case and opinion, it’s not that bad. Certainly not worth shutting the world down.

a good friend was vaxxed with Moderna and tested positive for Delta variant Monday. headache, loss of taste/smell but was back working yesterday feeling fine.

don’t forget the vitamin D. It’s more of a hormone than a typical vitamin. It’s hard to believe after a year of this crap our vaunted health professionals are not more forthcoming with immune-strengthening supplements.
Well, Ivermectin and Vitamin D and Zinc aren't patent protected so they can't make money off of them like they can their new vaccines.

I am just getting over it. I was vaccinated back in December of 2020 since I am a firefighter/paramedic. I was in Northern Wisconsin at a family cabin. No one was showing signs or symptoms and I started feeling like my sinuses were getting infected, I used to get chronic sinus infections. The next day, I felt tired but powered through. The next day, I woke up with fever/chills, body aches, headache, and a slight cough. I immediately recognized that it wasn't something normal so I drove home with my dog. Spent the next two days in bed with every symptom for Covid Delta strain. Got tested the next day, and it came back positive in less than an hour.

I'm a pretty healthy dude, that was vaxed and it knocked me on my butt. Luckily I was able to stay away from my immediate family for about five days.

My son, who stayed up North with my in-laws just got home, started having sniffles, and felt a little warm. He tested positive, but was not exposed to me whatsoever. He felt tired for a day and is back to being an energetic 7 year old.

I have a theory about the vaccine, and this is purely anecdotal. I did not have any reaction to either vaccine shot. I feel like the stronger your reaction to the vaccine the more antibodies you actually build.

I’ve had it for a week. Still have taste/smell but I can’t shake this busted ass body/head feeling. Not taking any supplements but I’ve been sitting in my he sun 30-60 minutes a day.

where do you get ivermectin and how much do you take? I’ve heard something about horse dewormer. Gotta say, that seems odd.
I bought some yesterday from the local feed store to start as a prophylactic. Follow the weight instructions on the tube. My store had many boxes and no warning signs.
Many stores are posting the fuhrer's warning about using the anti-viral for covid.

Yeah, I saw the signs the last time I looked. Just shook my head.

Went through my fam last fall. My wife, daughter, and son lost their sense of taste and felt off for a couple days. I never had any symptoms. That was it. Know a few high risk people who had it to varying degrees from hardly any symptoms to being very sick and they have all since recovered. I share sentiments with Hawkeye Hunter above.

I got the same stuff. Never felt like I needed to take it, but in retrospect wish I had. Didnt know it was going to last 3 weeks.
Next time I will take it.

The wife and I both had it in April. No fever but lost taste and smell. I lost my taste and smell for 3 days. The wife lost taste for about a week and smell is just now starting to come around. It hit her a lot harder than me with the fatigue as well. We are both in pretty good shape and youngish

the weird thing is she says she now get random metal chemical taste in her mouth probably once a week or so. Nothing of the sort for me.

we did take ivermectin based on weight and man did that help. It needs to be used more often and non shunned as it does work.

I brought it home from being exposed at work. After the first week of quarantine I wrote my resignation letter due to inempt management. On a brighter note I have now started a new career path in blinds , window coverings and outdoor pergola/awnings. So if anyone needs anything in Central Oregon drop me a PM.

We also have two boys 5 and 7 who I know caught it but did not show any symptoms at all.

Got it, after being fully vaccined.
Didn't think it was much to worry about till my neighbor who's 56 was in the ICU for 3 weeks, will be on oxygen for the rest of her life now, and literally can't go from the living room to the bathroom without help.
I just found out yesterday my other neighbor has it and got admitted to the ICU, plus he's just recovering from cancer, could turn south quick for him.
Definitely effects people in different ways, my case was very mild and nobody else in my family got it.

I find it ironic that people who are balking at the vaccines because they are not FDA approved are using the livestock version of ivermectin which is not FDA approved for human use let alone as a treatment for COVID.
It's not approved for human use but the article I read said there were no adverse effect from using it.
