C O V I D information from the ones that's had.
Oct 27, 2022, 2:53 PM

Wife and I both have had the covid vaccination with all boosters to date, but was schedule to get the latest booster tomorrow, but that will be canceled to a later date.
My wife has caught covid from her sister, before her sister knew that she had contracted the covid virus.
The information that I'm asking about, is how long does it take to feel better if you are taking the medicine that doctors are prescribing for fight it at covid patients??? Good information will be a +1, thanks in advance!!!!

The second time around I got the antivirals
Oct 27, 2022, 2:57 PM
|
|
Its hard to say how typical my experience was, but compared to the first time around I never felt as bad as the first time, and other than general lethargy (which lasted a while both times) I felt a good bit better the second time around considerably faster (within 2 or 3 days)

I had COVID in the spring...
Oct 27, 2022, 2:59 PM
|
|
I also had the vaccine, and one booster. The second shot and booster were rougher than actual COVID, but that may be because I had the vaccine and booster. COVID for me was like a slight head cold/allergies, in fact, I probably would not have suspected COVID had someone I was around not tested positive. It lasted 2-3 days. I'm pretty sure a haint had me the night after my booster shot.

everyone is different. I tested positive but only had a mild fever, a bit of a mental fog and my vision changed to the point where I had to wear reading glasses for about a week. I'd say the mental fog was the worst, for about 2 weekse, the vision problem went away in a week, likely caused by inflamation around the optic nerve in my left eye.

My dad and I got Covid on a family trip this summer; I only had mild symptoms, but he had pretty bad flu like symptoms. He’s in his 70s so They put him on Paxlovid right away; it took about four days for him to really start feeling better. After about a week he was pretty much symptom free.

My wife is 71, but she gets around like a probably 45 year old, and our Dr has her on something called moinupiravir, it maybe one of the new ones that they've come up with, I hope so bc, it gets lonely watching TV in the Den alone, and yes, my wife and I are pretty close friends for a married couple, and we really do depend on each other when we're sick, so we both have our own Ref whistle for calling out when we're in bed sick . Thank you for the info, as well as for everyone else, Thanks, and plus 1!!!

I had it back in August, felt like Myles Murphy hit me on Sunday night and was really tired and short of breath for about 3 days or so then bounced back. No Covid shot for me or my kids though.

I had Moderna vaccinations and then the booster. I got COVID after all 3 shots. For me, the second vaccination and booster were worse than the real deal. With COVID, I experienced 2-3 days of fever, chills, and essentially a mild head cold. No cough, no loss of smell or taste. It really varies person to person on what your experience will be. My wife had the equivalent of allergy symptoms for 2 days and was fine. I'm 44 and reasonably healthy otherwise. Hope your wife has a mild experience and you manage to avoid.

My symptom was a lack of guilt bingeing Netflix in bed
Oct 27, 2022, 3:14 PM

Got it right after foot surgery. Could not tell you how much of my weariness was COVID or from the surgery and not being able to sleep due to foot pain. General weariness, or feeling puny as grandma used to say, but I was all better in a few days. Wife had it too. She was tired and had mild headaches for a couple of days. Double vaxxed and boosted at the time. I would add that the wife routinely gets pneumonia and/or bronchitis. We were very worried about her getting COVID but the vax seemed to keep the symptoms in check.

I understand that, my wife and I both stopped smoking when she was diagnosed with COPD about 15 years ago, and she has had that smoking cough even after we stopped smoking, and it stopped with me several weeks after quitting. And her cough is little worst with the covid. Thanks!!!

Me and my family had it in last week of March, 1st week of April 2020 but we all have been healthy since. We chose to depend on our immune system, it has held up perfectly for all of us. We have truly been blessed.
Praying you guys have a quick and full recovery, I know it can be scary for all who get it.

I thought after the shot how I felt from the vaccine. That was off for 2 days. As far as when I had COVID and no vaccination th first time, I ended up in the hospital for around 8 days.

I have seen it vary significantly from person to person (PhD here, not M.D. - I have been following the stats more than the biology). Typically the healthier the person beforehand the better but that isn't a completely linear trend. Some folks feel better in a few days. That was my case but truly it was 8 days to "normal". That said, I had a co-worker out 3+weeks with a bad bout with a Paxlovid. Basically relapses. They had a hard time shaking it. Another was out about 9 days but down significantly with a fair amount of weakness. I a fairly sure MrsFutureDoc was asymptomatic when I had it.
When you say "meds" are you referring to Paxlovid combo (molnupiravir, fluvoxamine)? I think the research shows it can kinda reduce the length but really what those antivirals are designed to do is prevent severe cases that lead to mortality or hospitalization and reduce the viremic span. You are still going to feel like crud.

When I eventually got the virus, I thought it was just a sinus infection. In fact, I was surprised when I tested positive for COVID. I took Took Mucinex and Tylenol. Felt pretty lousy for about two or three days, but then I was fine.

My wife told me yesterday morning when she got up, that she woke up with a soar throat, she began feeling lousy by mid afternoon, we had the covid test at home, she tested, and the red stripe showed up in a couple of minutes. I have tested twice, and still no red stripe, and I'm back with the mask when I go to the bed room where wife is camped out!!! Thanks!!!

We both were vaccinated but not boosted.
Moderate head cold and fever for 3-4 days and then general lethargy that would come and go for another 10 days.
It hit my ears and to this day I have a very mild case of tinnitus.
It's amazing the variety of weird symptoms and varying degrees of severity from my friends and family. I've seen old folks have no problem at all and folks in their 30s suffering from debilitating long-COVID. Just no rhyme or reason.

I AM 67 YEARS OLD. I HAD THE DREADED COVID. LOST SMELL AND HAD A BACKACHE. A GOOD SUMMER COLD IS WORSE. AFTER WHAT HAS BEEN DISCOVERED ABOUT THIS SHOT, IT IS NOT A VACCINE, I WOULD NEVER PUT THAT POISON IN MY BODY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE ALREADY HAD THE DREADED. IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF UNDERLYING CONDITIONS IS THE ONLY WAY I WOULD EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. PLENTY OF STUFF OUT THERE YOU CAN TAKE IF YOU DO GET IT.

FOR THE LIFE OF ME I CAN NOT FIGURE OUT TODAY WHY THIS IS BEING TREATED ANY DIFFERENT THAN THE COMMON COLD OR FLU. NEVER HAD THE FLU, KNOCK ON WOOD, NEVER HAD A FLU SHOT. BACK WHEN THE DREADED WAS GOING STRONG A COVID NURSE TOLD ME THAT IF YOU HAVE THE COMMON COLD YOU WILL TEST POSITIVE FOR THE DREADED. HOW PEOPLE LET THIS THING STILL RULE THEIR LIVES IS TRULY MIND BOGGLING.

Sigh. It is always been about the big numbers.
Covid spreads before individuals show symptoms for several days. Flu is normally 24 hours. So it can spread unknowingly for about 3X longer than the flu.
Covid transmission vectors are much larger because a person can infect more people than the flu. You can have thousands infected in just a few hours and then transmit it to another thousand(s) before one sniffle.
Next the mortality rate for Covid are much much higher. Now, in the US with treatment, we are under 2%. Early days (early 2020) that was above 4% and encroaching on 6% with medical care.
Italy proved to be great example. Mortality skyrocked when their medical facilities hit the limit. 5% mortality doubled as respirators were unavailable. 10% mortality rate was experienced (maybe 9.6% but who counts).
Upstate SC had 140 ICUs. Access to ICU were a very big factor to surviving early on. How many cases would it take to overwhelm all of upstate SC medical capacity? Well, we were seeing a hospitalization rate of 10-20% so 35,000ish cases in an area with nearly 1/2 million over a 2+ week timeperiod. Worse, those seeking hospitalization were 50/50 cases of survival at that time without intervention.
Sorry, most folks would no be pleased if they got sick and had to go to the hospital and there was a "no vacancy" sign on the window. Espcially if you are a coinflip chance of dying if not admitted.
The nurse has no idea how testing works... sigh.

Plus covid has killed twice as many people it's 1st year than any Flu or Cold ever has in any one year period!!! I'm riding with the science every time, and if it kills me, I'm the one that chose to believe in the science bc it's right more times than it's wrong!!!

Your Covid / mortality info is out of date. More to learn.
Oct 27, 2022, 6:03 PM

Covid of 2021 and 2022 is very different in its virulence than was the Covid of 2020.
The new variants are highly infectious ... but not especially virulent.
However, every day the fallacies that Covid-19 vaccines are (1) Safe, (2) Efficacious in preventing the onset of the disease and (3) Efficacious in preventing the transmission of the disease are becoming more apparent.
Remember how many state level and local area governments had mandated Covid vaccines because they would prevent the transmission of Covid-19?
These local / state governments believed what they had heard from the pharma companies and the FDA / CDC / NIH / WHO that the vaccines served this purpose, and that if everyone took the vaccine then Covid-19 would not spread ... and then disappear much like the way that smallpox disappeared after everyone got vaccinated.
Now we know that neither the pharma companies nor the Federal health agencies had ever tested whether or not the vaccines were effective with respect to stopping (or limiting) transmission.
The attached link is from an outlet that has done somersaults to hide the basic fact that pharma + the health agencies did no work about the efficacy for limiting transmission ... but they did nothing to stop that false narrative from being promulgated by the gov'ts and private companies that were pushing the use (and driving the sales) of the vaccines.

There’s a difference between “from covid” and “with covid.”
People were dying in car accidents and being counted as covid deaths if it was found in an autopsy.
That’s a fact.

Re: Outdated Covid 'facts' and Updated Covid vax facts
Oct 27, 2022, 5:51 PM
[ in reply to Re: I had no injections at all. Had covid this past spring. ] |

Sigh ... Dear Future Doc,
You are citing mortality statistics from 'original' Covid-19 ala 2020.
The newer versions are far less virulent. Highly infectious, yes. Highly virulent, no.
That's why the frame of reference for when cite statistics is not relevant. Much like 'new' versions of flu do not reflect the same
Furthermore, the evidence is that COVID vaccines neither prevent acquiring these 'new / mutant versions' of Covid-19 -nor- do they inhibit the transmission of the virus from those who got Covid-19 AFTER TAKING THE SHOT to others.
The safety 'narrative' of the Covid vaccines, however, is being eroded as data keeps arriving.
Myocarditis is crippling and killing young people at a statistically unprecedented rate, especially among athletes who participate in highly aerobic sports (soccer and track come to mind). These cases are not with young people who have had Covid-19, but rather with young people who took the Covid vaccines.
Stopping transmission via the Covid-19 vaccines ... remember this narrative? This 'fact' was propagated and defended throughout the world, and led gov'ts and businesses to force their employees to take the shot. School teachers were among the most vociferous in pushing for young kids to get the vaccines, all in the selfish philosophy that it didn't matter if the kids got hurt as long as the teacher was protected.
Now the entire 'vaccines stop transmission' narrative has been publicly destroyed.
Did the pharma companies actually TEST the vaccines for efficacy in stopping transmission? No.
Did the FDA / CDC / NIH / WHO actually TEST the vaccines for efficacy in stopping transmission? No.
But did these organizations promote one purpose for the vax as being to stop transmission? YES.
https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/verify/vaccines-verify/claims-pfizer-didnt-know-if-covid-vaccine-prevented-transmission-missing-context-fact-check/536-aaf563f5-2286-44d4-ae0b-2c71812b84e4
I sure hope that you learn critical thinking skills and acquire the ability to follow science ... and to question 'settled science' even when you want to believe it ... before you fulfil your dream to practice medicine. All too many physicians are too lazy to question what they read in AMA journals. Their laziness is a profound disservice to the people to whom they promise to 'do no harm.'

My story.
Oct 27, 2022, 4:01 PM
|
|
Fully vaccinated. 2 boosters. Got it bvefore thrid booster came out.
I have a great doctor.
1. 9:00 AM called his office talked to his nurse told her I was just feeling weak, like a cold or the flu.
2. 9:15 arrived at her office. Dr. met me in parking lot and swabbed my nose.
3. 9:30 nurse called and said I tested positive. Asked if I would take Ivermectin. I said yes.
4. 10 O nurse called and said pharmacist would have prescription ready at 11:00.
5. 11:00 I picked up prescription and started taking it.
6. Checked into motel room (my wife has low immune system).
7. Felt better, not totally fine but much better, the next morning.
8. Continued isolation in motel room for another day.
9. Next morning (48 hours after having symptoms) I felt fine. Went home and isolated for 2 more days. Kept taking ivermectin all along. After those two days I went out into public on a need to basis and wore a mask and stayed more than 6 feet from everyone for 3 more days.
My story is anectodal. Not a scientific study. I am convinced my case was milder because of the vaccines and my cure was quicker because of the medicine. I also had several people praying for me. No way I can prove it, but I give God all the credit. Whether He used the vaccine, the medicine or divine intervention, He healed me.

Re: C O V I D information from the ones that's had.

I've had it twice and felt mildly under the weather for 1-2 days each time. Unless you are elderly or have serious underlying health issues I'd think you'll be fine but it can hit certain people harder than others.

I don't even think about Covid anymore, no more than the flu or any other illness. I had it once and it felt like every sinus infection I've ever had. Started with chills and mild fever (99.8) and the next few days after it was all head cold stuff.

I had lingering effects for about 6 weeks.

Prior to getting it had two vaccines doses and a booster. Got it in late June. Started feeling tired on a Monday night. Mild body aches, sinus and upper respiratory congestion on Tuesday. By Wednesday I had a fever of 100.4. Felt pretty yucky, like the flu. Lethargy. Brain fog. Taking ibuprofen, pseudoephedrine, guaifenesin and multiple Neti pots per day.
Felt better on Thursday. Reduced fever and milder symptoms. By Friday I felt much better. Sinus and Upper respiratory congestion, brain fog and overall lethargy and lack of energy and stamina lasted roughly 6 weeks. I am a pretty active guy and am in pretty good shape for an old fellow, but trying to walk/run the golf course in July and August was not an option given how I felt. Lost muscle mass in my lower body from the reduced activity and am just getting back to walking/running the golf course without a near death experience.
You do not want to get it if you can avoid it.

Yep, I have diabetes where I have to take 4 insulin shots everyday of my life, covid I do not want in any way shape or form!!! Since my wife caught it, I'm starting back wearing a mask when I'm out in the public bc, diabetes alone weakens the immune system!!!

My experience
Oct 27, 2022, 4:32 PM

I got the primary vaxx doses of Pfizer and a booster dose. I caught the ‘Rona back in June so it was Omicron. I’m 56 yrs old. Headache, body aches, and mild fever for about 3 days. Then the cough started and hung around for about 3 weeks. That was the worst part. It wasn’t a really bad cough, but it just kept hanging around without showing much improvement. I bet if I had asked my Dr for cortisone meds it would have been kicked much earlier.

My Dr wrote my wife a ###### for that hydrocodone cough syrup, pharmacist CVS said they didn't have it, and couldn't get it. We'll all die one day bc we got sick, and drug abusers will have cause the meds that it takes to get well, they will be taken off the shelf. That's the way that it is with getting what I need to get through everyday without as much back pain that I'm forced to live with all bc of drug abusers, and that's a fact.
Since my back injury, I've never not once taken more of my meds than I'm suppose to, and never not once have I ever called my doctor claiming that I lost my meds, or that they were stolen, and I have been down with my back for 18 years, and now I can't get what's necessary to take away at least 50% of my pain, and it is bc of drug abusers. I have to suffer daily bc people want to take pain meds without one reason for needing them. Welcome to my world, but I warn you, it's a H&11 of a way to have to live, and I do wish, pray that God would take me peacefully in my sleep bc my life as it is, it isn't worth waking up everyday to face the pain that usually wakes me up everyday of my life, it's absolutely without question, a horrible way to have to live bc of drug abusers killing their own self bc of taking medication that they never needed. I just wish that if that's what they intend on doing, it would be a miserable death being witnessed by another drug abuser!!!!

Why are you getting the booster? The only people I know who
Oct 27, 2022, 4:36 PM
|

are still dealing with Covid or talking about covid or worried about covid are all double vaxxed and boosted.
Literally everyone I know who is not vaxxed (or maybe got one) worries zero about it now. It's been over for my family since we got Omicron back when that was a thing. All my friends/family have been done with Covid for about a year at this point.
But when I got it, it was like the flu. I was weak for 2 or 3 days. Very sore throat for 2 days.
Drank fluids, took hot showers and tons of Vitamin D and I didn't even go to the doctor about it.
My mom only got it a week AFTER she got the shot. Then she resolved never to get another one and has been fine since.
I know two people who are bigly into the vax and ended up in the hospital for blood clots.
I have no idea why people are still taking that thing.

My same exact experiences. Everyone I know that's still getting it and in some case multiple times is vaxxed and boosted to the max. I never got the first jab and haven't had so much as a cold since this crap started. Others that I know that never got vaxxed have never been sick either.

Had it in June. Scratchy throat, hoarse voice. 2 weeks and it was done. I worked from home the whole time. Not even sick enough to skip it. My Dad had it around the same time - took the prescription antiviral they are giving to older patients who test positive and he was better in about a week. The version going around in the summer time was significantly less taxing than the average flu. YMMV

I got it August 2021, after getting the initial two shots in
Oct 27, 2022, 11:50 PM

early 2021. MIne was mild...low grade fever, cough and stuffy nose for about a week. My wife got it from me, about two weeks after getting her 1st shot...hers was much worse. like pretty bad flu for almost two weeks.
The person I probably got it from was not vaccinated, ended up in the hospital for 17 days and nearly died.
My 63 yr old cousin and four others in his immediate family got it around the same time as me...his four family members were all vaccinated and their cases were pretty mild. My cousin was not vaccinated, spent 19 days in the hospital and died a painful death.
I have no idea about the efficacy of the current vaccines, but you'll never convince me my cousin wouldn't still be alive if he had been vaccinated last year.
By the way, I'm 72, in good health and was also taking high doses of Vitamins D & C & zinc, along with ivermectin, before I got covid last year!

I am not vaccinated and have had COVID 3 times. It was like a mild cold the first time. Second time was like a sinus infection. Third time was asymptomatic, would not have known I had it but had to get tested as prescreening for something.
Wish I could be more help.

No you had the sniffles and it caused you to test positive. I can’t believe people are still falling for this BS.

I’m sorry your wife has COVID.
Oct 27, 2022, 11:29 PM

As others have said, everyone is different, and people react differently as well - especially since the various COVID strains are not the same.
I had the two dose Pfizer vaccine, and a Moderna booster. I had flu like aches for about 8-12 hours after the second Pfizer shot and the Moderna booster. I had COVID about six months after the booster. It felt like a bad cold for several days, with some body aches as well but no fever.
The antiviral medication is worth doing in my opinion. I also think there is value to vitamin D, zinc, and ivermectin. I know it was heavily politicized (and criticized), but there is some good data for ivermectin in treating COVID. Also some good data on people with sufficient vitamin D levels doing better with COVID.
Rest, hydration, etc. are obviously important too. And laughing plenty and trying to enjoy the downtime as much as you can.
Please keep us posted about your wife. Take good care of yourself too!

The first time I tested positive was after a super bowl party 2021. I had no symptoms but did workout from home while I stayed there for a week. Wife had the first shot and had the worst symptoms knocked her out for a few days. Kids had no symptoms. Second time I got it I had the J&J and this time I had a dang cough for 2 days. It was a real pain but I made it. Second time wife had it had both shots and thankfully symptoms less for her as she had to go to sleep early the first night with it. Second time kids had it still no symptoms at all and still no vaccine.
Hope this helps with your decisions.
