I had those exact symptoms for the first 3-4 iirc. I basically just spent the days in bed feeling like absolute sh*t, occasionally forcing myself to eat soup or lemon water, and taking Tylenol.

After the severe symptoms, I had a recurring cough, sneeze, felt easily fatigued doing almost anything, and had a few instances of feeling almost delirious some nights. Overall, full recovery took about 2.5 weeks for me.

Do you have a pulse ox or can you borrow from someone?

The lack of oxygen is the main risk. Conversely knowing your number is good even if breathing gets hard can be reassuring.

Need a pulse ox brah, below 92% take your azz to the ER. Use melatonin, vit d, c, zinc. Ivermectin works but may be too late for you, good luck.

How the fuk do you guys manage to get covid so severe?

I caught it last week symptoms barely lasted a day. Wouldnt even go to a doctor if it wasnt for my girls nagging.

Only stood in the house for a day, didnt even use any doctors medicines also not vaccinated. I even have a low LYM count.

when i had it i had fatigue and moderate shortness of breath felt weird and a bit fckd up but managable, actually glad i didn't keep checking oxygen levels and just rode it out , just kept taking my vit d, C and Zinc.

if it got really chit would have gone to the hospital but it never got severe

how is that relevant to anyone else or is it just a brag, most kids get it with zero symptoms and many adults don't get any either...it can be quite random as to how bad people get it

work in the field and can confirm this. Especially in merica. No offense but don't trust those icu nurses doing a tiktoc dance while responsible for running tiva. Knew both people died on ventilator. They loathe the non vaccinated and want them as a statistic.

It affects different people differently. It obviously more seriously affects people with one or more comorbidities, but it has also done a number on a lot of younger, fitter people. It is a weird new virus, and your N=1 self-experiential study unfortunately doesn't track with a lot of other peoples' covid experiences.

I felt nausea for a few days and short fever spikes. Throat got tingly for a day but never sore. Never stopped gym and only stopped attending work because they shut down over a Covid outbreak, quickly followed by the whole state.

Imagine a comedy skit where all the nurses are doing their dance routine while there's patients flailing their arms and flatlining in the background.

500 mg of this stuff:

Add in Turmeric, Zinc, and Vitamin C, stay hydrated, take Advil for aches and pains. Tylenol for fever, Excedrin for pounding headaches.

I had Covid and didn't even run a fever and I am not young at all. Good multi like Orange Triad is not a bad thing either.

THIS.

I can’t stress this enough. Get a pulse oximeter and keep track of your O2 levels.

Yea my fever started off mild then next day shot up to around 103 for 3-4 days. Lost appetite, only ate dry biscuits and lucozade (sports drink) for energy. My joints ached but my back/spine KILLED! As it was ending I've developed a itchy cough but its not a big deal just annoying. Ended up losing 11lb.

Definitely get the pulse oximeter mentioned above.

Only good thing is I have normal bowel movements. I just feel super weak and have a hard time relaxing.

Any of you brah’s have experience with the supposed treatment “Ivermectin”?

How long did it take y’all to fully recover? Is there supps or foods that you recommend I take.

Pray for brah.
Did you get vaccine? Just curious.

Considering the average survival rate for the wild type was 95-99% and now it's mutated into a less lethal strain you will be fine but when I had it *when it was the wild type* Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Zinc and NAC. Keep trying to at least get fluids in, Gatorade or Powerade would be a good choice.

I'm immunocompromised and unvaxxed and it was a 100.4 fever for 2 nights, slight cough, and loss of taste/smell for couple days. Had my appetite whole time but ate healthy foods as I couldn't taste chit, so it actually helped me lose some weight.

I'd take that again over a head cold.

Weird how I should've been dead with me being immunocompromised/unvaxxed
