Blood oxygen levels are at 97-98. Resting pulse around 86, jumps to 125 or so when I get up for anything.
Day 1: Monday started with debilitating exhaustion, relentless headache and fever. I slept 21 hours in a 24-hour period.
Day 2: Fever gone, headache gone, exhaustion remained
Day 3: same
Day 4: Mostly same
Day 5: Exhausted during the day, slept 13 hours and fever came back at night and it broke while I was sleeping. Sheets were soaked.
Day 6: Same as day 5 minus the fever.
Day 7: counting back to midnight, kind of same as day 5. Woke up at 3 am in soaked sheets again but I felt good.
So now today, Day 7, it just lingers. I can breathe easily through my nose as I have all week. If I take a huge deep breath it's a struggle but regular breathing is easy.
I am monitoring blood oxygen levels and pulse rate. Today I started on a steroid inhaler and after just two puffs this morning I could feel a difference. My sister is a nurse and she has recommended that I do as little physically, as possible.
I have been taking the following:
Multi vitamins with zinc
Vitamin D3
Vitamin C
Probiotics
Clear Lungs
Sudafed
Allegra
Methylprednisolone (steroid RX from doctor)
Drinking two pitchers of ice water a day along with three Gatorade's. I have hot coffee in the morning and hot tea at night.
