Will watch for your post on beginning to feel better.
Hoping you can take comfort that despite how hard this does hit some of us, it isn't as deadly as they originally thought (low mortality except for elderly and immune compromise like other viruses). I'm pretty sure I had it in January (I rarely get sick) as it knocked me so hard, and for a good month at that. I slept sitting up because of breathing issues for that whole time. To show how serious it was to me, I don't do meds or doctors and sister in law has antibiotics I finally began taking in week three as I was beyond exasperated it wasn't long gone already like the flu would have been. Of course, we still hadn't been told there was a new virus to worry about at that time, so I was extra wtf is going on.
Make sure to take vitamins (if you don't already) and drink as much fluids as you can. The media has been silent on these important actions, but they will help your body in fighting off this horrible invasion. I also think sleeping sitting up (if you can call what I was doing sleeping) may have aided in reducing the drainage into my lungs that increases when lying down.
Antibiotics and fever reducers can potentially make symptoms worse.
Hard to know what is what given all the deception they have been feeding us. Just read that only 6% of the US death toll is from Covid alone, the others were all with Covid. So less than 10k deaths solely attributable to Covid.
I normally shy away from any type of medications due to my distrust of medical/pharma, but this time I was concerned as it wasn't going away. My SIL gave the antibiotics during the second week, and I held off until the end of the third week of still feeling horrible, worried about infection as my lungs hurt for so long. Not sure if they helped at all, or the passage of another week was what offered the cure.
I had "flu like symptoms" in January, it seemed a little out of the ordinary, but I didn't take any medicine.
Everything seems totally normal at this point.
