My story about Covid-19
I just tested negative after 6 days in bed with Covid-19. Don’t ask me where I got it, this time, it is my second time around. And, this time it wasn’t any fun. My poor throat was as sore as if sandpaper was rubbing on it. I must have sucked on a thousand different cough drops. I put myself on a vitamin regiment of 3,000 vitamin C’s, 100 Zinc, and vitamin D3. I took this quantity of C’s and the Zinc 4 times a day, and 5,000 D3 once a day. As with the last time, about two years ago, I did not have any temperature. The doctor suggested Tylenol if my temperature went up.
The doctor sent me the recommended Paxlovid that you take for 5 days, just in case. Fortunately I was able to make it through with the vitamins, lots of tea, and staying in bed for 6 days. And most of all a wife that was there for everything I needed. She, as of now, is fine. She slept in our guest room and stayed away as well as she could.
I have taken 4 Covid shots to date. The last one was 9 months ago. I’m still not sure if I want to take another shot. Yet, I must admit, after 2 episodes I would think the vaccines must have helped to keep my symptoms to a minimum.
I am not in any way recommending that anyone, any age follow my example of what to do before or when you unfortunately get Covid. My little example here is to let you know what a fellow Medium writer has experienced.
