No. I wasn't taking any pills before I became ill. That all changed in a hurry. Here at home now, I am taking D3 and Zinc (15 mgs.) daily and I just finished taking some kind of antibiotic to prevent getting a second infection.
Who's Received a Covid Vaccine? Got Mine a Few Hours Ago.

Pappy, I heard that they are going to be setting up clinics in Florida for anyone who holds a Medicare card and a Florida ID. I talked to a State Trooper in Florida and he was telling me about this, but didn't know when or where they were going to start. He said probably either Walgreens or CVS and maybe the doctor's office, if they can keep it cold enough. He thought the Florida Dept. of Health would start the clinics over around Ft. Lauderdale/ Miami area since so many older adults live in that area.

Rumor has it that CVS drug store will get them soon. Like you said, keeping product cold enough is a big problem.

I am on nighttime oxygen without it I am around 85. I think you need to be on nighttime oxygen. My doctor says it effects your brain and heart if you are below 90 at night. My brain needs all the help it can get at this point in time
.You may be stuck with lung issues. My son is still struggling with his oxygen levels which are 94 a lot, he still coughs a lot, and is still tired. The tiredness is improving though. He is now able to drive and get out a bit.

I got a card also and of coarse they will post it at work when the next vaccination clinic is. I wonder if this will be a yearly thing now?
Arizona just announced they are pushing those over 75 up in line. They are now in the same classification as teachers and law enforcement officers and will be able to receive the vaccine after the first phase of health care workers have been taken care of.

Normal (younger & healthy) people are last in line. Age, serious health issues like diabetes, obesity, heart issues are head of the line whenever they get around to shooting up nonessential workers.

from what i'm hearing probably but i imagine it will depend on how long the shot protects us.

i'm saying it could be months before you feel better and there's the chance some of the damage may be permanent. this stuff is so hard on the body. they said it makes the lungs look like ground glass so that can't be good. just give your body time to rest and heal. try to get up and walk around the house every day and maybe gradually work yourself into longer walks but take it slow. should help your lungs if you can get up and move around more. just do your best but don't over do you know? keep an eye on your O2 sats.
ever since the infection i had back in march which they never let me get tested for...my lungs haven't been the same. my copd and asthma got worse and now when i wake in the mornings my O2 is around 88 or 86. i have to start my breathing treatment right away. i've been so fatigued i've just spent months resting and letting my body do what it needs to recover. i am finally finding a little more get up and go. but it's been slow. i'm hoping if my arthritis doesn't start pulling some wise ass crap with me i can start my in home walking again. but for right now i'm just takin it easy because my full time job is really taking it outta me. so just sit tight and take care of yourself. we're older now and the healing is slower. *hugs*

they come in packaging that has a monitor in it. if the package gets too warm the monitor goes off. they take out what they need a little at a time. the pfizer one can be kept in a 40 degree fridge for 5 days.
