Covid coming your way?

[Nathan]

My test results finally came back, as expected...positive. I have actually been symptom free for at least 4 or 5 days. My wife is still sick, has more of a cough, gastrointestinal upset and lethargy.

I hope you and your wife recover soon, Nathan. But if it gets any worse, get yourself to the hospital without delay!

I had stomach issues also, but mostly from the different medications that I was taking. My loss of appetite was not unexpected since that is one of the symptoms. My COVID was mostly a fever that would not go away, a feeling of just wanting to stay in bed, lethargy, sinus infection, unbelievable headaches and pain in my joints and muscles. IOW, just plain sick. I also had breathing issues and pain down my sides and burning in my shoulders when I cough. They called it Pleurisy. I had lost a total of 9 pounds, but am now gaining some of it back.

Believe me, I was one sick puppy.

I had a close friend die from COVID yesterday. I wasn't aware of it until last evening and now we can't go to the funeral. This is terrible. It's just not right.

Nathan....I was also very sick to my stomach, but Jello and Popsicles helped. Both are just sugar water, but it's an easy way to get some needed liquid and sugar into the patient's system. My wife made a big pot of her homemade chicken noodle soup, which was my main staple when I could eat.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend, @oldman.

It positively shocks me to read and see how many continue to minimize the seriousness of this virus. Including some on this very forum.

They tell themselves and try to convince others that these unprecedented numbers of people are clogging hospitals, ICUs and graveyards due to other causes, but the cases are pinned on COVID because some worldwide big pharma/government/medical billing conspiracy is afoot.

Oh yes, probably the best home remedy ever made! My business partner left a big container of her chicken veggie soup on our doorstep, was just about all I had for the first several days. She also made a homeopathic 'tea' brewed with pineapple chunks, apple, orange, ginger, onion,and cinnamon. So good.
I'm back to normal 100%, my wife is showing signs of improvement.
@oldman , I hope you're feeling better.

I'm so sorry, my condolences.

There is a serious wave of mental instability in this nation, these past several years, with the fake news media leading the way. The real conspirators & shysters are those media outlets and personalities spreading this type of hysteria.

 

[Remy]

@Nathan Oh I'm so sorry. I hope improvement continues and you are both back to normal.

Also mentioning, co-workers congregating in the parking lot, close to each other, no masks while employees continue to test positive. I just went in for my weekly test this AM.

Latest in regard to the use of a Pulse Oximeter. We use ours once a day, though the article recommends 3x a day.

Just in case lady...I would pay more attention to how your breathing feels rather than counting on that oximeter to be 100% accurate. With my COPD sometimes the oximeter says my O2 is at 95% but it feels like 85%.

Lady? You talkin' to moi?

I'll keep that in mind. The only time I have a breathing problem, is when my asthma kicks in when I have a cold.

Between my asthma and the COPD even a subtle change in air quality can be felt. Just pay attn to that. And yes I was talking to you. Should I have called you woman?
