that was me then it changed. If you can go get the monoclonals, go get them. I was fine for the first 6 days, didnt take it seriously. if you have ivermectin take it, and go get those monoclonals.
Meh the whole family that caught it had the same symptoms. They did fine.
Hospital out here wont even treat unless you have worse symptoms
ETA: I can count the number of times I've been to the hospital or Dr's office on one hand since I turned 18

Serious question, not trolling. Do you take testosterone replacement therapy? Know of some folks with tougher course with Covid than expected on TRT, although the data out there doesn’t conclude that. Just curious. Hope you are well soon.

You mentioned that you workout a lot. You don't happen to take steroids do you? I have heard that there may be a link between severity of COVID and steroid use in younger people... which is odd considering one of the treatments is a type of steroid.
Here is a case study on improved conditions from treating an anabolic steroid user... LINK

I had it a month ago, mild cold for two days was my experience, besides everything tasting like a box of salt and no sense of smell for 3 days.
65+, don't exercise but have been taking supplements recommended by MD who is a retired Med School Prof. They are Quercetin (poor man's unprescribed HCQ), Vit D3, Zinc, etc... since March 2020.

Didn’t take my ivermectin and that was fricking stupid. I allowed someone to talk me out of it and because it basically felt like the flu, I didn’t fight back. I did take a Z pack And I’ve been taking daily D3, melatonin, zinc for at least 3yrs.
I took it Day 2 and beyond & wife didn't
She ended up with Covid Pneumonia in both lungs and I had fairly mild Congestion in one lung only.

I tend to agree with those doctors - this could have been MUCH worse had you not been vaxxed.
Also, it isn't entirely clear that you are as lacking in co-morbidities as first believed.
I'm sorry you were late on the mAb, but sounds like you are doing the right stuff now.

That’s not true.
For months I heard how my unvaccinated self was killing other people. Even though I had not been infected nor infected anyone else.
Then a vaxxer infected me. I now want the vaccinated to wear masks and stay 6 feet away.

I'm on day 5. Just lost my sense of taste and smell. Other than that just typical body aches pains you get when you have the flu.
No fever, minimal cough, cough is productive when it occurs.
Was vaccinated at end of april.
Six month old had it first. Got it from the babysitter. Shes fine.
Only treatment for me in dayquil/nyquil with vitamin c. Staying hydrated.
You are at the 6 month mark.
You will be due for a booster shortly.

Or it could be the other way around. Who knows? Nobody cares enough to study it. The only reliable piece of actual information is that natural immunity is solid.

Thanks for sharing your story.

Yup. I was actually going to get a booster this week, but that's obviously on hold at the moment.
I didnt even bother with getting tested. This is definitely covid and like I've mentioned before the hospital out here wont even treat unless you have worse symptoms. They just send you home and tell you to monitor symptoms.
Plus theres no benefit to getting tested since nobody cares about natural immunity. Eventually the booster will be considered "fully vaxed" so meh.
This feel exactly how I felt after I got the original vax minus the loss of smell and taste

Tons of us could write tons of case series on it, it translational and clinical research is basically a waste of time to most regular, working docs and worth about as much, scientifically, as chatter in the lounge.
But the chatter in the lounge definitely falls in favor of fewer severe cases, fewer hospitalizations, and fewer deaths in the vaccinated than the unvaccinated.
Nothing in that is meant to be political, slanted, coercive, or influenced by anything other than the experience of me and my colleagues.

Honest question - as time goes by, is this perception changing? My perception (not a Doc, but I pay attention) is that as time goes by, the vaccines appear less and less effective, and raise more and more flags re: harm.

got the monoclonals on day 10. last vaccine was 13 September.
im sharing my story to validate concerns of those not vaxxed and to share with those that are vaxxed that it does not offer perfect or maybe any protection. I think its important that we be polite and debate with decency since the government is using scare tactics and political bullying, and that shite isn't going to help anyone.
if anyone should be shitting a brick, it should be me. I am not. I have never felt fearful for my life. I know that I came into this in really good shape. I dont think the vaccine has offered me a ton of protection, even if the doctors swear it has. they are assuming and using anecdotal evidence, even they admitted to that part. we simply dont know, and until we have civilized conversation about it, and actually look at the science and not the politics, we will not know.
edit: maybe the vaccine Is why I am in better conditions and spirits. I dont fricking know either.

this is an honest take. we need more of that while identifying the fact that this vaccine has some serious pitfalls too. do they outweigh the advantages, probably not, but burying them is bullshite, and we've seen people be censored for discussing the pitfalls and called loons. who in the frick does that help?

Not really. Generally speaking, most of the “breakthrough” cases are in the at-risk who got vaccinated first, thus the recommendation for a booster in the at risk after a period of time. We still don’t see a ton of cases in the folks from about a week or two out from vaccination and before that 6-8 month mark at all, much less severe ones. We all tend to agree that the severity of cases in the vaccinated population is, on average, significantly lower than in the unvaccinate population.
None of us really have much experience with significant harms from the vaccine. All of us have treated far more clots and embolic events from the virus itself. I don’t know that I’ve got any contacts who can honestly report a DVT related to the vaccine.
I’ve written it several times, but again: one friend treated a patient with myocarditis thought to be related to the vaccine (One of about 13 cases at the time). I have a case of what I believe to be myocarditis related to the actual virus itself. In other words, most of the published harms from the vaccine itself seem to be
1) rare
2) similar to adverse events from the actual virus itself which seem to happen at a higher rate
For what it’s worth, our medical staff (doctors) are trying to convince the hospital not to mandate vaccination of clinical staff.
ETA- I’m not your downvote FWIW
