Maybe your muscles and joints just got tired of supporting your fat arse for 48 years.

I had it 3 weeks ago. The fatigue was the only thing that was out of the realm of a bad cold. Had me dragging arse for 4-5 days. With your BMI you could get the 5 day Pfizer drug if it’s available in your area. I didn’t take it.

The vascular damage that is going to creep up on us all in the next decade will be more worrisome.

Had Covid 2 weeks ago. Pretty much same symptoms but headache was the worst for me. I did develop a sinus infection after that my Dr said was very common.

Fatass here. I was told on the OT you're either short, a fatass, or a micro penis. You're saying you're not short or a fatass?

I tested positive today. Probably wouldn't have even known I had if I hadn't lost my taste and smell. I've been battling bronchitis for a month now. So far, I just feel stopped up and like shite.

I woke up last week with aches. Went to work-came home in the afternoon with fever. Highest was 103. Ran low grade fever for 2 days after. Just felt tired. Took ibuprofen and drank water mixed with Emergen-C packs. Back at it a week later.

Dr will say there is nothing they can do for you unless your mucous is green (antibiotics) or your O@ level gets low (below 90).
Take 500mg Quercetin also with the 50-100mg of zinc.
Drink lots of fluids, and use a nasal spray so your sinuses do not get infected.
Get some sunlight each day too.

Get your ferritin levels checked if you go to Dr. to check for inflammation. IF levels are ok, good. If you get long covid check the levels again.

Sounds like typical omicron. My whole family got it 3 weeks ago. Wife and I both had high fever (103), headaches, body aches, stomach pain, sinus congestion for 4 days then loss of taste and smell day 5-10 with a lingering cough that I still have. Got our energy back around day 14. Maybe we had delta. Not sure. Took vitamins and Motrin. Pure blood.

Yes, and it’s crazy.

You’re better off going to Tractor Supply, and then taking Aspirin, as mentioned above.


* Aspirin may help with the clot issue.

Tough it out.


At the time of this reply, there are 2 downvotes. I ask each of these two people to explain how leftyloosey is wrong. While your at it, describe the protocol for early onset COVID. There isn't one (monoclonal antibodies are now banned). The guidance of the medical establishment (aka, big pharma) is to stay home, rest, and call back if you get worse.

Key is to keep your immune system strong and get the blood/oxygen sensor to detect falling oxygen levels to get treatment before the virus and/or complications move deeply into your lungs.

Stay Safe and thank you for your courage.

Tested positive for it about a month ago. Woke up one morning feeling tired, but just thought it was the usual just being tired stuff. Went to work, and a few hours later, I started to feel very achy, more tired than normal, and then a headache that I’ve never really felt before. Was like a deep headache is the only way I know how to explain it. Decided to go home, and took an at home test. Came back negative so I just went to sleep because I was really tired and achy. Woke up 4 hours later feeling a little worse, and had a slight fever, so I took another at home test, and it came back positive.

Over the next few hours, my fever got higher, and got up to 101.5, and then I threw up every 30 minutes for about 4 hours. Was finally able to go to sleep, and then I woke up the next day at 7am, and felt completely fine. No more fever, aches, or anything. I vaped and smoked weed that day also, and I never had any kind of breathing problems or anything like that. Was just like a stomach bug for me.

I’m unvaccinated, and all I did was drink water, and ate some saltine crackers. Didn’t take medicine or anything.

Unvaccinated, 56 yo male. 5’8” 180 lbs.
Started feeling very fatigued Monday the 17th.
Next day, worse fatigue, next day, sore throat, legs and back aches, headache. Went and got tested and received a positive result. Z-pac, ivermectin and a couple of shots I have been on C, D3, and zinc for at least a year. Didn’t get fever until the 27th. HORRIBLE cough with nothing coming up. Turns out I developed a bronchial infection. I received meds for that and have felt better today than I have since this began. It has been a rough 12 days but I feel I am definitely turning the corner.

Me - 53 no vax. The whole office came down with it. Yup, it got me too. Itchy eyes, a little sneezing, intermittent low grade fever, but not really even as bad as most colds I've had. Small price to pay for gaining natural immunity without having to worry about side effects of the vax. Even got to work from home for the first part of the week.

It’s much less deadly but this is not true.

OP talk to your doctor, not the fake ones on the OT.
