My husband tested positive a few days ago. He has been taking Ivermectin since then. (I know there’s controversy about it.. but he thought he had nothing to lose.)
He has been getting better each day.
I have been testing negative since then…. Until this morning.
I felt woke up and felt horrible
It actually felt like one of my worst herx when I was on the Bartonella/Persisters protocol
Sure enough I had the double red line.

What is the accepted medicine for Covid - I’m thinking I will call my doctor if I’m not starting to feel better by tomorrow.

So sorry girlie. There’s ivm, but there’s also paxlovid and some other pills.

Tbh many ppl I know have taken a crap load of zinc, vit c , and quercetin. Everyone's body is different . I'm not big on loading any more antibiotics or meds into our bodies especially if we're already on abx for Lyme and other infections. I'm always weary about overuse and abx resistance. I've been sick 2 weeks and am just getting over it, my covid test was negative, but I don't trust it. Last time my covid started off with allergy symptoms?!! Same as this time. All I know is the green mucous and chest compression was no joke and I had to let it pass. Allergies and lyme and Bart only add onto the covid and slow the treatment down. I would try taking Ivermectin if it works, my doctors are too cheap to recommend it or perscibe it so that's a lost cause for me. Was it primary care doc or llmd who prescribed the ivermectin??

Can’t get into my dr for a few days.
Now I’m waiting for the walk-in clinic to add me in at the end of the day

Dr J gave me the prescription for Ivermectin.
He said the public was denying it because it was Trump advocating for it.

Sorry to hear you both developed COVID, Girlie.

As for the accepted medications, here's what I found from the CDC and NIH:

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/treatments-for-severe-illness.html
https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/therapies

On the FLCCC website, following are a variety of protocols. For your situation, look for the "I-CARE Early COVID Treatment" protocol:

https://covid19criticalcare.com/treatment-protocols

I can't personally speak to any pharmaceutical or supplement treatments, as I've never tested for COVID. Thus, I've no idea if I've ever had it.

However, I did have two events (late 2020 and late 2022) where I was affected by "something." I've taken a variety of OTC supplements (Zinc; Quercetin; Cod Liver Oil that included Vitamins A, D, and E; Vitamin C, etc.). There's no way to know if anything helped. I also ended up taking five days of Azithromycin starting on January 1st of this year, following whatever was perturbing me at the end of 2022. Following that, I took a couple of months of a probiotic.

Later, whenever you feel better and have time, I'd be interested in hearing about the symptoms you and your husband have experienced with this current version of COVID. Were either of you vaccinated, either recently or in the past? I think so, but I can't recall. It's been a while since this was a topic of discussion.

Good luck to you both.

I had symptoms for a few weeks. The initial part was the sorest throat ive ever had. Then it turned into body aches. H2 blocker helped ease the symptoms.

The virus elevated my thyroid antibodies , which took three months to normalize back to my baseline. Dr. reported this to the CDC.

I found mepron worked really well for covid, and stops the virus within a few hours. The only problem is that I got a rebound case when I stopped taking it, so I ended up having to take it for a few weeks to make sure the virus was completely gone.

If you don't have any mepron, nitazoxanide would be my second choice, it works almost as well as mepron.

I tried ivermectin, and found it only marginally effective at a dose of 12mg/day. I didn't want to take a higher dose, so I went back to taking atovaquone and nitazoxanide.

Thanks. I will take the Ivermectin.

Hi Girlie,
I had Covid a year ago and got the monoclonal antibodies. A day and a half later I was better, and the next week I felt the best I felt in years (Lyme, bartonella, mold Toxicity since 2019).
Posted 5/4/2023 9:14 AM (GMT 0)
Did you call Dr. J? I wasn't clear from your comment above.

He gave me a new protocol for ivermectin (I think it was to take it every other day) and a 10 day script of minocycline.
Posted 5/4/2023 9:33 AM (GMT 0)
Be careful with minocycline (or doxy) if you have a viral infection. Minocycline is anti-inflammatory and can suppress the immune response a bit too much, potentially making the infection worse.

I suggest you ignore the CDC as much as possible. They're clueless and worse, highly corrupt.

MASK+ protocol. It's helped millions of people.
Posted 5/4/2023 11:41 PM (GMT 0)
My hope is it does not set you back with your success with treating Lyme and company. Just a positive hope for you as you have been through so much and come so far.
Posted 5/5/2023 3:35 AM (GMT 0)
I called a Dr in a walk-in clinic because my reg doc didn’t have any openings.
He asked me several questions - my age…. My health… how bad I was…how many vaxes I’ve had (I’ve had 3) and last one was a few years ago - I think it was 2021.
And then decided I didn’t need the paxlovid…..

Jeez - shouldn’t that be up to me - whether to treat or not.

I’ve been taking the Ivermectim

Interestingly I have had a fever throughout it.

Hope you feel better soon Girlie.
Be sure to take the ivermectin with some fat so it's absorbed systematically as opposed to it just staying in the gut.

Oh I didn’t know that. I’ll eat some cheese with it.

I masked for 3 years - and I’m done with it.
As lousy as i feel right now - I’m still not wearing a mask.

I don’t see Dr J anymore.
If I want to see him - it has to be inperson. He won’t do a phone appt becuz I’m overdue for one. I’m not paying $5000 to go across the continent to see him.

Thanks Quin - I’m not taking antibiotics
