feeling pretty dang poorly right now myself. If it is the Covid, hope it is the weakened variant, I only have 60% of the lung capacity of a normal hooman to start with, it cood be bad. That being said, I am opting out of the rest of the night and hitting the rack.

Took wife to Urgent care on a Monday morning. Came down with it that night myself.
Went to Urgent Care the next day.
Got Monoclonal anti body treatment the day after that and was better within 24 hours later.
Took wife about two weeks to get over.

Get tested asap and see your doctor pronto. The sooner you’re seen, the sooner they can give you antivirals that help lessen the impact. It needs to be in a window of first 5 days I believe to be effective. Get going.

Hope you feel better soon. We had it about a month ago and the fever and flu like symptoms lasted about 3-3 days. Unfortunately, I still have a cough from it. Other than that we’re all good now.

With the J&J and the booster. It sucked for one day, then the rest of the week it was annoying. I lost my taste for one day. Eats lots of Frank's Hot Sauce...put that #@&^! on everything. Your taste will come back.
Best of luck with your recovery.

If you older, get paxlovid. It worked well for my mother. Otherwise, NyQuil DayQuil combo with lots of hydration and rest. Don’t F around with the labored breathing. Go see a doc.

I hope you ignore the political bickering going on, on both sides, of the issue. I hope your doctor does to.
I am blessed to have a great doctor who, while being a staunch political conservative, ignored the political debates and arguing and followed sound medical procedures when I had Covid.

Talk to a doctor and get treatment!
I don't know your medical history or pretend to be able to give any official medical advise but I can offer my own experience with it. My wife and I both contracted it for the first time this year. My wife is mid-40s and in decent shape. She got it and had severe flu-like symptoms for over a week. All they could really give her was cold medicine to treat the symptons. I'm in my mid-30's and very overweight. Once my symptoms started, I self tested and was positive. I immediately called teledoc and due to my weight qualified for covid treatments. They prescribed me paxlovid. Within 12 hours of my first dose my symptoms started to clear. After one night's sleep I woke up feeling brand new.
That is to say, there is proper treatment available and please seek it. Treatment can help. Not getting treated can be deadly, depending on the variant and personal health.

call my PCP as soon as they open. Last night was one of the longest nights I ever spent in my life. Throat like dry sandpaper, same with eyes. Lots of muscle hurts too. Headache so bad it seemed like my HAIR hurt! I am pretty sure I am only on Day Two after exposure, this thing jumped quick. If this is the weakened variant, I shore as Heyall never want to see the original.
Since I know there may be a fight over my sets of plastic steak knives if this thing don't work out, I will keep you awl posted.

76 be insistent on getting the available therapies. I had a friend triple vaccinated that had oxygen levels dropping into the low 90’s at the ER. The antiviral reversed the illness within 12 hrs. He did have a rebound of covid a week later but far less severe.

worthless Docs, she wanted to set up a computer visit, and I have no webcam, nor a cell phone, and no skills to operate same if I did. (MY computer monitor is my 65" Samsung Big Screen TV.) I told the nurse I would roll up outside the office and let her come to the car, they have done that sort of thing before for Ma-in-Law. Still waiting to hear back. I told them in no uncertain terms, this CANNOT be allowed to go into the weekend without the antiviral meds. If they don't come through with those, and I survive this, I will be finding another PCP.

Very sorry to hear you are having this type of experience with your primary doctor, that is unacceptable. Don't take no for an answer which it sounds like you are doing. Please keep us posted on how you are doing.

Not saying vitamin D won't help, but i'm of a mind that preventive measures work best if used long term. Personally, i've taken vitamins C, E, and a multi vitamin religiously for about 45 years. Not to mention 2 Moderna shots and 3 boosters since covid appeared. So far, so good. Can't remember my last cold, never had flu, nor covid (so far). Just sayin' YES, take vitamins or whatever YOU believe/trust. Bleach too if ya want, it's everyone's decision. But DO NOT wait til ya get sick. And don't smoke (tobacco anyway).

I had covid a few weeks ago. My doctor pute on PAXLOVID. This really helped me get over the Rona pretty quickly. The sooner you start, the better it helps. Or you doctor may have another drug in mind. But definitely act fast. Go ahead and test yourself.

But call your doctor back and ask fur a phone appointment because you are unable to do a video. That's s what I did because my phone just wasn't compatible to do the video with there service. Ask your doctor about PAXLOVID or other antivirals.

If you are at high risk, you should talk to your doctor. Pfizer has an oral medication to help prevent severe symptoms if you take it soon enough (within 5 days of first symptoms).
