Back from the Covid war games.

Three weeks ago tomorrow I started to become extremely low energy and that rapidly progressed to having extremely unpleasant muscle aches in my back. Fortunately, heavy use of ibuprofen allowed me to sleep but I also lost all appetite and dropped nine pounds just from not wanting to eat. Coffee, normally a mainstay of my routine at all hours, tasted like something out of a mud puddle after a rain.

I started to feel out of the woods by last Saturday and have had only mild lethargy at times since and a much better appetite to boot.

No vaccine for the Colonel but I'm glad for that. All told it amounted to a bad case of something flu-like but not much in the way of nasal or lung congestion. I do think I had some mild bronchitis but that's clearing up nicely.

More than you wanted to know, I'm sure. Look for more enlightened plagiarism from me as always.

    Glad it was mild for you. Starting mid July I had similar. Had 101 fever one day, bronchitis, Got z pack for 5 days. Also Ivmctn for 1 week. Lost 10-15 lbs in 5 days. Recovered rapidly shortly after beginning taking the latter.

    That's quite a weight drop. I only had HCQ and zinc. A friend brought me some Ivermectin but I never felt that threatened. Glad you weathered the storm!

    I got some ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine last winter because I wanted to have them on hand in case I needed them, but they're still sitting on the shelf. I was tempted to take them when I had a really bad cold, but decided to go get tested first, and the test came back negative. I found out too late that if you use a nasal irrigator, it washes away all the evidence and you can get a false negative, so I still don't know if I've had covid. Sigh...
