Went skiing last week with the family. Started developing sore throat and low energy on or about Thursday, Decemeber 30th. Sore throat persisted and developed congestion along with brief bout of boarderline nausea on Sun, Jan 2nd. Returned home Mon Jan 3. Tested positive for Covid evening of Jan 3. Quarantined and took 54 mg of Ivermectin (200lb male) the morning of Jan 4. By evening of Jan 4, felt ever so slightly better. Repeated 54 mg of Ivermectin for five more days while quarantined - the morning of Jan 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Today is evening of Jan 9. Zero remaining symptoms. No sore throat, no congestion, energy back to normal.

Oh, and I took the J&J jab back on 8/27/21, not bc I wanted to but bc I had to travel to NY for a business mtg. So the 'vaccine' doesn't prevent you from contracting the virus. But Ivermectin sure helped me get over it.

Edit to add: The cost of my 54mg of Ivermectin for six days was ~$26.00.

The math:
I purchased 150 12mg tablets back in September of 2021 for $145 including shipping.
150 x 12 = 1800mg
$145 / 1800mg = $0.0805 / mg
6 days x 54 mg x $0.0805 = ~$26.10

Glad that you are feeling better.

No opinion on ivermectin one way or the other -- but feeling back to normal after 10 days of Omicron is from what I've read pretty standard.

Ok. I was vaccinated before you - spring of this year - got covid from my grandma on Dec 26. Fully recovered within three days, and went skiing this week (snow was great, by the way). I did not take ivermectin. Looks like I saved $145. In fact since I recovered more quickly than you, maybe ivermectin made it worse?

You have no way to know the impact of ivermectin on your disease course. That's why this is not how evidence is gathered for medicine. You use controlled trials, randomized, and double-blinded. And when people do that, ivermectin doesn't help.

No more symptoms on day 7.

No Ivermectin and no vaccine. Just took vitamin D, C, and zinc every day starting on day 2.

Awesome. Glad you did so well. Curious, what day did you test positive for Covid - or do you just think you had it?

Tested positive on Tuesday, along with five other family members who were there. Womp womp. Grandma and Grandpa are both fine, fortunately.

It would be one thing if you took ivermectin and two hours later you magically felt amazing (still would be just another anecdote though, wouldn't be scientifically convincing), but you gradually got better over the course of 5 days. Sounds about right.

Placebo effects are real.
Your body's immune system was continually working to fight the virus.
You did other things to help yourself heal (resting, for example)

I don't know if Ivermectin is effective, but this is why randomized controlled trials are so important.

Yeah this proves nothing, and I'm in the camp of, I think ivermectin could help and there is no downside to taking it.

I started symptoms on the 27th and was back to normal other than taste being off by the 1st. Didn't take anything except some cold and flu Tylenol for the knot that my back had tied itself in.

Totally anecdotal, but of the 3 folks in my immediate family who got it at this time last year, only one was prescribed ivermectin (we have diff PCPs) while the other 2 got a zpack and steroids. The ivermectin patient recovered far faster than the other two and her recovery synced with the first dose. And by fast, I mean symptom free in 2 days and well enough to pass a covid test in 7 days, vs the other 2 were sick for over a week. Possibly fluke. Possibly due to other factors, although we are all super fit with zero comorbidities. Possibly not. But it was curious to see

This is your logical reasoning? Majority of cases are asymptomatic. What you are describing is a fully expected outcome for about 99% of population without ivermectin.

I ate an orange the day I tested positive and developed no symptoms. You can't tell me that was coincidence.

I got covid late last Thursday, I'm unvaxed. Started taking ivermectin immediately. Felt bad for maybe 12 hours. Took some acetaminophen to relieve aches, then was able to sleep a few hours. Since then, I've been taking ivermectin and otc stuff, and I'm relatively symptom-free.

Whether it's the ivermectin or not, if this is what covid is for me, I don't need a vaccine. And assuming I survive, I damn sure don't need a vaccine.

So why have a vaccine for it?

Not everyone is in perfect health and for those people it can be a life saver

Since you're unvaxxed, please give convalescent plasma.

I was giving every two weeks until I got the jab and was told I can't give C Plasma anymore since the jab.

Took Ivermectin, but still ended up in the hospital with Covid pneumonia.

Sorry that happened, that sucks. The same can be said for people who got the vaccine and ended up in the hospital. Nothing is 100%, and covid is wildly different for different people. I'm just totally against mandating the covid vaccines. Everybody should be totally free to choose how they battle covid.

Except we have an abundance of data that the vaccine is very effective at preventing hospitalization... And outside of countries with endemic parasites the data for ivermectin suggests it has no effect on hospitalization.

Seems to be a large influx of posters coming onto the forum specifically to let us know they got/go-over Covid but somehow also wanting to spike the football on not being vaxxed or their alternative/lack-of treatment.

Cool.

Save for a few, the majority of posters in here really only care if you're vaxxed simply so that you don't run into any detrimental covid issues - If you got over it with no vax, great! The majority of posters in here really only dissuade against ivermeticin because they don't believe it will help you get better or think it could harm you -- if you recovered with it (or believe you did), great!

There's a certain posting style that is in vogue on other forums and it seems like some are downright surprised when they usually aren't met with the same combativeness here -- and typically only get annoyed when conversation is constantly shifted that direction.

Most of us don't care who you voted for and don't care if you used the peanut butter solution to beat covid.

Guys, there are plenty of studies and clinical trails of ivermectin. Read some of the FLCCC data and protocols. There is a reason ivermectin is one of the first line treatments they have been recommending for quite awhile........https://covid19criticalcare.com/ivermectin-in-covid-19/

There's data showing lots of results, good and bad, for vaccines. There's tons of data showing ivermectin works. You reject this data. Fine. What I said remains true.

I'm just totally against mandating the covid vaccines. Everybody should be totally free to choose how they battle covid.

Because 1% of 750,000 people per day is a very large number.

But it isn't 1%. It's much less than 1%.

Yeah they don't play around. I know this firsthand.

To be fair, anecdotes, under the right circumstances, when it hits certain numbers, can have statistical significance, but hell no this situation isn't one of them.

My family all had an incredibly mild case of Omicron that consisted of a few days of congestion and mild scratchy throat. No ivermectin use but all were vaccinated and my wife and I were boosted.

So I don't think you can make any sort of conclusions.

I also got the JJ shot back in August. I got covid right after thanksgiving and tested positive. I took nothing at all for it but I did drink a fair amount of bourbon while staying home. Worst symptom by far was loss of smell.

You can't tell me bourbon doesn't work!

Or many of us realize that neither masks nor ivermectin work.

Because it was that time year and I love the brown water, I am pretty sure I drank through every night of my illness prior to testing positive.

It is an age old elixir.
