For 2 days I had a throbbing headache, cough, and stopped up nose.

I went to the doctor and they tested me and told me I'm positive.

Ivermectine!

Or follow Trump's recommendation, and drink some bleach.

Paxlovid has been shown to reduce "long Covid". Maybe they should prescribe you some? Cured my symptoms in 36 hours.

As long as you don't get struck with the Long version. Then you're out of whack all over but you don't "look" out of whack, which is what happened to me.
Fair enough. Maybe I underestimated Plaxovid. I got over Covid and just remember how much I hated that stuff.

If I remember correctly, they were only prescibing Plaxovid to those at high risk, and I got it because I'm over 60.

Recommendations:

1. Get a humidifier & leave it running 24/7

2. Get a bunch of electrolytes. I use Gatorade Zero (no sugar) & Bouy (like Mio squirt bottles, but for electrolytes). Drink at least 100oz of liquid throughout the day. Pre-measure it out for the day so that it's all ready to go.

3. Sleep as MUCH as possible. Naps. Early bedtime. If you feel sleepy, listen to your body & just go pass out. Put on an audiobook or podcast to help lull you to sleep.

I had unconfirmed, but odd symptoms in late 2019, early 2020. Two weeks, I was unusually fatigued and literally laid down in bed all the time. Even just reading an email on the phone just felt so irksome that I could not be bother to read them nor take a single call. Walking up the stairs quickly fatigued me. Even after the acute symptoms wore off, my mind and brain felt kind "short on something", like it just didn't want to really think. Ultimately, that was very costly even into the present day, because I would have helped my mother draft text messages instead leaving the texting to her own devices...and that's why she and I got hit with a conversion lawsuit(and why I'm stuck paying for a Westlaw subscription)....

I got hit with a confirmed case in Feb 2021. The symptoms were similar to the unconfirmed case but more severe but lasted even a year. It actually still affects me to the present day. I don't like driving around more than necessary these days. Used always love the travel. I cannot eat a high starch diet and function like I did in the past before the infection. I basically have to fast to get back to a "clear mind" state. I also never liked the heat, but more sensitive to hot days, especially for that summer of 2021.

Vaccination was not an option because I was younger, and the supplies were reserved for the older crowd at the time.

Gizmo might be better off as it has evolved to "deal with" humans, so maybe the potential for such significant yet hard to prove cell damage won't hit him that hard.

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like you got hit with an earlier, nastier version of Covid.

Cough drops and cough syrup will be your friend. It's going to suck for a few days until the sore throat and coughing slows down. I found for me it lingered for a few weeks but other than the odd cough and a bit more tired I was functional. The 2 days of sore throat were the worse part of it.

Sorry to hear this, just getting over my 2nd round. Try to get Paxlovid, it tastes nasty but it can keep you out of the hospital. Hope you recover quickly!
