Fever has been bouncing between 100 and 100.8 depending on how long since my last Tylenol.

My throat hurts when I swallow, and my eyes hurt to move.

Cough has started developing.

Push Health is preparing an ivermectin script for me, will start taking today. Also taking Zinc 50mg and Vitamins C/D.

Anything else I should be doing? What dietary considerations should I take? Heavy protein? More carbs? What say ye, Kung Flu experts?

Rotate in some ibuprofen.

Seems like when you get both Advil and Tylenol going it can really break down a fever.

Confirmed COVID?

I am getting over a 2 / 3 day sore throat, cough, etc. No fever.

Feels more like a cold or something.

Tempted to do an antibody test in a week or two....

Not confirmed - but a guy I played with in our church band on Sunday tested positive yesterday, and my symptoms all seem to line up. I figure there's not a lot of benefit to going to the doctor right now, all they'd do is shove sticks up my nose and tell me to rest at home and drink fluids.

If I lose my sense of smell/taste tomorrow or Sunday I'll be certain. My 12 and 9 year olds also have slight fevers and eye pain.

Even if not confirmed, I would hit the ivermectin and you will be fine in no time.

How long does it usually take to notice a difference? I just took the first dose.

Ive had long haul covid symptoms for 13 months. The only things that have worked for me are Ivermectin and Tylenol Sinus Severe. It has to be that specific brand of tylenol.

I've never had it but the people I know who have taken it with Covid, felt better almost immediately. Their symptoms were pretty mild though.

Do you still test positive? How often do you need to take the meds?

I havent tested for covid in like 6 months but I didnt test positive last time. I take the Tylenol whenever I have symptoms, which is usually a few days per week. Ive taken ivermectin twice and the symptoms went away immediately after taking it. My prescription ran out so Im thinking about ordering more in bulk from an online pharmacy.

Any improvement of your long haul symptoms?

No, not really. I was feeling better for a week and a half then the symptoms came back this past week. After taking the vaccine a few months ago Im now starting to get frequent dizzy spells and arm pain. I never experienced those covid symptoms before taking the vaccine.

The symptoms are just all over the place. Some days I will feel a little crappy for an hour or so then it goes away. Other days I feel sick the entire day and don't want to get out of bed. Even the simplest task will seem like a huge chore.

Theres no rhyme or reason to these symptoms.

Ragingalcoholic I forgot to mention you should take Famotidine (pepcid AC). I think its been helping manage my symptoms. Theres some research that shows it helps with covid symptoms. It was part of the Trump Covid Cocktail they gave him.

Update:

Took the first dose of Ivermectin at 10:45am. Three hours later, all of my symptoms were significantly reduced. Fever gone, aches and pains gone, even the cough. I still have chest congestion and some drainage but not nearly as much as before.

Going to keep riding the Excedrin, vitamins and pepsid AC. Next Ivermectin dose is Sunday. Thanks EA and others who encouraged me to go to Push Health, what a great find!

My throat has started to get sore again, but I probably need to be drinking more water and am due for a pain med.

Day 3:

No fever or headache when I woke up, eye pain minimal.

I got very little sleep last night because my 9 year old (who also has all the symptoms) jumped into bed with us and proceeded to kick me all night like a monkey in handcuffs.

Sore throat was bad when I got up and my sense of smell was reduced, but after blowing out a bunch of congestion and brushing my teeth both have improved.

Zinc, Excedrin, Vit C/D and Pepcid AC this morning.

The diarrhea on day 1 was egregious. My 14 year old complained of the same last night.

I'm normally a 3 cups of coffee/morning guy, but since all this started I've reduced to 1 just to maintain some baseline caffeine and avoid migraines, but also to allow me to sleep throughout the day if exhausted.

Despite not being febrile I'm very clammy and still feel like I have a fever even though my temperature has been normal for 12 hours.

Sorry for the "dear diary" nature of this thread, but it's helpful for me to document and also glean from everyone else's experiences.

No. There's no real value to the test for me at this point. None of us are going to leave the house for any reason until the symptoms subside, and the only thing a clinic who tested me would advise (regardless of the test outcome) is to keep doing what I've been doing.

I always find with even the common cold I'll wake up with a sore throat, but that's usually just from the drainage that has hardened while you slept...Given you said you blew a lot of it out, I would bet that's what happened.

I'd get tested to see if you actually had it. I took ivermectin and it didn't help me at all. I ended up with pneumonia and the hospital for a week.

This isn't an anti ivermectin btw. Just want to hear positive Covid diagnosis using it.

When all of this blows over and everyone in the house is symptom-free, I definitely plan to get tested for the antibodies.

No good. I think that and losing taste is the worst part. But I love food.

Don't sleep too much even when you're exhausted. Try to sit up and or walk as much as possible. I slept too much and wound up in the ER with pneumonia

The loss of senses is a weird one. Lucky for me, I could no longer smell dirty diapers... so that was a plus.

Loss of taste was weird but came back within 2 weeks.

I went about 3 weeks with no smell, and just would go around smelling weird stuff and random spices etc to test it. Kind of a fun game.

Interesting thing about my loss of smell/taste:

For some reason I can still taste salt. So everything I eat, even if it has just a little salt on it, tastes very salty. Also, I could taste my toothpaste when I brushed my teeth last night. But I blew up the bathroom this morning and couldn't smell a thing.

Weird.
