It is a symptom. I read it here in one of the COVID threads but there's too damn many to find it again. I distinctly remember this bc I discussed it with a friend of mine who is an ophthalmologist.

Yes, pink eye is a symptom, as is eye pain.
Most common symptom I believe is lack of taste/smell.

That's when I had it - February 17th is when it started. Only time I ever had pink eye in my life as well.
While uncommon, viral conjunctivitis has been reported in COVID 19 patients. Some patients have tested positive for virus particles in the tears or conjuctival swab.

Both my kids had a fever for 24-48 hours with a slight cough in Jan/Feb and negative for flu. Both had one pink eye for around 24 hours after the fever subsided.Bobcat06 said:
I'm asking because myself and two other family members had a bad infection in February with pink eye.
However, I've never seen pink eye listed as a symptom of COVID
Primary care offered the antibody test as part of annual blood work, should be interesting to get the results.
Question for the Doc - if you already have had Covid then would wearing a mask be almost pointless?
Baller noted his eyes hurt at onset. I've had a few friends who noted same. Painful eyes, loss of taste and smell then the tight chest.

Not a doc, but even if you've had it, couldn't you subsequently be a carrier, thereby wearing a mask world help prevent additional spread to someone who has not had the virus yet?
not a doc either, but I think this has been discussed and the answer is no, you wouldn't be a carrier.
Once you have recovered (2 negative tests for the virus), then you aren't a carrier. And since there appears to be immunity for at least some period of months, you won't get it again so you can't spread it.Mr.Short-termMemory said:Alta said:

Have a friend that just got diagnosed. He said that Sunday-Tuesday were pretty rough but feels like he's on the back side of it.
He talked to a CDC doctor that prescribed a steroid, Celebrex, and Ivermectin. That sound right?
Someone came out yesterday and gave his whole family an IV:
Fluids
Vitamin C
Tiraspol
Glutathione
Zinc
Magnesium
B12 Mentholated
B Complex

Yes Ivermectin is showing lots of promise! Those supplements are all pretty healthy.Willy Wonka said:

How does one contact a "CDC doctor" and who is sending people out to give IVs to people and family members? Never heard of anything like this.Willy Wonka said:

There are companies that will come to your house and give you IVs of different types of supplements. Lots of people use it for hangovers but they have different formulas for different situations.Player To Be Named Later said:How does one contact a "CDC doctor" and who is sending people out to give IVs to people and family members?

Good Lord..... that's some expensive stuff. Never would have even considered paying $175 for a hangover relief IV treatment.
If it actually worked I could probably think of a time or two I might have told them to just take my money...Player To Be Named Later said:

I've personally never tried it...but at times have been tempted. I don't really have bad hangovers that a little nap and greasy food can't semi fix until the next day.Player To Be Named Later said:

True. Fortunately for me, I've never been too hardcore of a drinker.... and even in those days wasn't too prone to hangovers. But I'm old and boring now, so no worries.
Last time I was in Vegas one of those IV places had a storefront place for walk-ins.
And who or what is a "CDC Doctor" in this story?
There's at least one store front in Dallas at the Shops at Park Lane, too.88planoAg said:

They had one in Athens, GA that may or may not have been used by someone in our travelling group.Player To Be Named Later said:

When that person goes from "there is no way I can make it to the game without throwing up every 5 minutes" to "I think I'm ready to drink again" 1 hour after the IV, it's worth every penny to not miss the road game you came there for.
And for the record, it only cost $85 in Athens, GA with a groupon.
I was reading what could happen to you if your overdo it on Zinc...
Some of the signs are nausea, diarrhea, flu-like symptoms (fever, chills, cough, headache, fatigue) and changes in your taste.
I wonder how many people have been slamming zinc and then think they have COVID based on the list above...so they take MORE zinc...

He got sick while at a remote lake house in Louisiana and his doctor was concerned that he was still there. He went to a clinic in Louisiana. He did a video call over a few days with family doctor. The doctor called the clinic and the clinic said that he had the worst symptoms they had seen. He finally convinced them to come home.
Dr was concerned what kind of shape my friend would be in when he finally got home so He got with the CDC to discuss his treatment to keep him out of the hospital and then the treatment for when he got home.

CDC doctors can be great . Just like all federal agencies the working level docs out in the field are a godsend. Conversely, sadly the ones at the top often become bureaucrats/political. Anyhoo, had a case of gardia in the FSU that would just not go away. Visiting CDC doc said give me 2000 rubles for some "Russian" medicine. OK. He came back with 2 horse pills, said take these tonight and plan on not coming to work tomorrow. SOB if I wasn't knocked in the dirt for a day, but the gardia was gone.
Knew some tier one SF guys that would regularly party all night long, give themselves an IV back at base, and they'd be fine the next day.
Bottom line there are miracle cures out there for some maladies.

Negative, dang. Lost over 10 pounds in a week early April. Lack of appetite, little bit of trouble getting deep breath, etc. Guess I'll chalk it up to stress

Might want to check nattokinase and Anamu to see their effects on ACE. As blood thinners they are good natural alternatives.
Doc Rev - there were 2 recent studies about HCQ widely reported on that did not show a benefit. This seems to disagree with information you and others have shared about positive outcomes when HCQ is used in combination with antibiotics and/ or other drugs. Is it just the " news" source cherry picking results of a few studies where HCQ was used alone as way to disprove Trump's early claims for political effect?
If so, are doctors avoiding the politics and sharing successes in their professional networks?

I am not sure which two studies you are referring to but the one in the NEJM they were given the medication on admission and once again the HCQ group is sicker than the placebo group. We need one in the outpatient setting similar to the Brazil study.
https://static.poder360.com.br/2020/04/2020.04.15-journal-manuscript-final.pdf
This study showed positive results and was used closer to diagnosis. I think we in the medical community believe it works but only in the early phases of this disease. Once you are sick enough to need admission this is not likely to show a benefit. Waiting on studies for prophylaxis and outpatient usage. Most of the data we keep seeing is on very sick inpatient use.
I am still using it as I have had good results. I have had about a dozen patients use it and none so far have been hospitalized.
But I with the FDA statement it definitely makes it more difficult from the liability standpoint. So not as many using it as before, I drew up a consent to use. I have spoken with many other family doctors who have had good results also.
