COVID Progression

Last night was Night 4. Today is Day 4.

I felt better Saturday and slept like a baby that night. Sunday, I felt pretty good until evening. I felt some brain inflammation, tightness in my face, and inflammation in back of head and neck, and sudden bouts of irritability. Before bed last night, heart symptoms started bothering me. Oxygen was normal.

Did not sleep at all last night. Heart was beating hard and didn’t feel right.

Feel bad today. Still have the cardiac symptoms. Head is rocking from hard heartbeat. Have had SOB when moving around, but oxygen is still okay. Have inflammatory response symptoms, too, like brain inflammation, like all my environmental sensitivities are upticking, when they didn’t bother me at all the other days.

Right now, I feel inflammatory response sensations all over my head and face. Could be EMF and/or mold sensitivities worsening cause I’m holding my phone and I could smell the mycotoxins outside today.

What does it mean when you feel much better for a day or two and then get worse? How does this progress?

JMF84,

Thank you for responding. Symptoms started Thu night and I started Iver and Alinia and other things Fri night. Still taking as much as I can but felt overmedicated by last night. I am not taking as high a dose as they recommend for active infection. I took 15 mg. I weigh 48.08 kg.

I forgot that last night before bed, I had really dry mouth and nose and rapid, hard heartrate that makes me feel uneasy and belching. I had all that the first night. I didn’t have the body aches again last night,

I have had some coughing and pressure sensation in chest and nasal congestion or stuffy nose with no congestion but has been minor so far.

Anyone else have anything to share?

What about Monoclonal Antibodies?

"With the increased evidence supporting monoclonal antibodies used in high-risk outpatients, we added it as an option in our protocol. The proposed monoclonal antibody combination has demonstrated efficacy but we must stress it should be administered within 7 days of first symptoms."

I'd try to do like Joe Rogan did and throw the kitchen sink at it. Who knows how much all that stuff helped, but it was a low risk for him. Of course, he may have been fine without any treatment. It's somewhat of a crap shoot.

I hope you feel better soon.

Covid can be tricky like Lyme. I was close to a Home Depot saleswoman the other day, and immediately I knew in my spirit that something was amiss. Sure enough, I started to feel chest pressure a few days later. I should be resistant to Delta at this point, so I suspect it was Omicron.

In any case, I have been feeling pressure in the lungs again. So I decided to hit it early and hard. I nebulized twice yesterday, peroxide, salt, and iodine, and a bit of silver, and I took a complement of drugs before bed. Slept like a log, and when I woke up I began to feel the lungs again. Was initially concerned, but then felt assured it was herx from my treatment yesterday. Hit it early and hard, yes, but it's important not to over-treat. So I did nothing about it. Sure enough, it receded and I've been fine today. I just got back from a roadside walk, the first I've done in a long time. I have been using the rowing machine indoors for a while, but outdoors is much better. The oxygen deep in the lungs is the best, plus the sunshine.

One of the concerns about the spike proteins is blood clots. I take one nattokinase a day anyway, but when I got Covid I added an adult enteric aspirin to the mix.

Melatonin is good for sleep, but I've found I react to it. More BBB fallout. So I've been using Tryptophan and Ashwaganda.

As for testing, I never bothered. There's so much error either way that I wouldn't trust it.

Funny you said that. I had the exact same feeling on Wed when I went in town to a routine doctor’s appointment and Christmas shopping. I put on a mask. I was getting my skin checked, so the doctor needed to see my face. She said, “It’s okay, we’re all vaccinated.” She got close to my face, too. Something in my spirit just told me something was wrong. I just had a bad feeling being there.

I am not paranoid about the virus and don’t wear masks religiously.

I don’t have a nebulizer. Do you have to have a Rx or where can I buy one?

How do you do the treatment?

We bought nebulizers at a pharmacy for about $40. No prescription needed. Even a lower dose of IVM will probably help you.

For me, taking mepron cleared up most of the acute symptoms within 2 days. If you're still not improving after 4 days, that's not good.

The lingering symptoms I had that lasted beyond a few days were peeling skin, itchy eyes, and occasional headaches. The peeling skin on my fingers and toes took a week or so for the damaged layer to come to the surface and slough off.

I suspect the headaches were mainly a problem due to the limited penetration of drugs across the blood brain barrier. However atovaquone does seem to cross BBB well enough that it still worked as long as I took it regularly. Maybe nitazoxanide does not cross BBB so well? Is there anywhere you can get mepron?

Also the headaches seem to be a unique characteristic of the delta variant. When I got covid back in 2020 I barely got any headaches. I got infected again when delta started spreading, and it evaded whatever antibodies I had from the prior infection.

Have you tried fluvoxamine? Or does the neuro effects of that bother you too much? Another thing I've found mildly helpful with viral infections is to take low dose naltrexone (or even not so low dose) as this seems to temporarily boost interferon production.

Hey, Dude!
I slept well the last 2 nights and felt better yesterday. I started this post mid afternoon on Monday. I took a shower not long after and started to feel much better and continued that way. I did notice some unexpected weakness in my legs yesterday.

I had a weird 24hr period from around 6:30 pm Sun until around 5:00 pm Mon where my heart didn’t feel right. Fast, hard, heartrate and breathing that felt out of whack (dysautonomia) and SOB when moving around. All that plus the weird feeling it gave me suddenly lifted around 5pm Mon.

I just got up and not sure what today will bring. Slept good but after sitting up, my nose feels stuffy and I feel slight pressure in my chest and have some belching again.

The unpredictability of the virus is what makes it so precarious. Today is Day 6. Last night was Night 6. I won’t let my guard down until I get past Day 10.

Well, I just got the call. My PCR results were also negative. So, maybe it really isn’t COVID. I guess I will never know for sure.

I'm happy to hear you're improving and that the PCR test was negative. The existing PCR tests used to detect the Delta variant are also able to detect Omicron, from what I've read and heard. Keep doing what you're doing!

also happy to hear you are doing better WBF

not to alarm - and i am not 100% certain its true of all PCR tests - but i heard on a BBC science podcast the other day that the omicron variant doesn't show up on most standard PCR tests in use in the UK,
presumably because it has sufficient mutations in the region they use

i found this interesting as i had what felt like a severe head cold - with complete lost of smell in November. I also tested PCR negative on day 5 ( the day the PCR nasopharyngeal swab test is most sensitive - it becomes very unreliable/ most likely to be negative after day 10 of symptoms - something i didn't know till i looked into it )
its now known omicron was in the UK in November - and probably most other countries also - so it seems its at least possible this was in fact Omicron -

symptoms were just those of a bad cold for me followed by a mild cough and fatigue that dragged its heals a bit on the way out - but unremarkable otherwise.

Thank you for the prayers and well wishes, running wild and everyone!

Garzie,
Thank you for posting that. Later yesterday afternoon I got slack and decided to forget about COVID and get on with life as I had felt consistently okay for 48 hours and had 2 negative tests. I skipped the Ivermectin yesterday but took 1 dose of Alinia and the supportive stuff. I went for a walk last night, longer than I anticipated and slept well.

However, I still have lingering cough, fatigue, and intermittent stuffy nose. I am back to believing this illness is either COVID or something connected to COVID. When I initially checked COVID symptoms online I had all but 2, I believe. I never got the loss of smell/taste and maybe one other thing.

My respiratory symptoms have been very mild, much milder than a typical cold, but unmistakable. I don’t normally have this kind of cough. I can just tell this isn’t a cold, a flu, a stomach bug, or any illness I have had before. I am over 50 and very self-aware, so I know when I feel an acute illness is “different.”

My theories at the moment:
- it’s Omicron
- my immune system responded to exposure to someone recently vaccinated, possibly with a booster (incident at doctor’s office)
- it’s some new concoction cooked up somewhere

Glad for both of you, WBF and Paul B.

Some think that Omicron could be the end of Covid, as it is milder and will give more widespread immunity.
