Hey, 38m, tested positive this morning on home test. I'm not sure what day I'm on. I started having more congestion on Saturday than normal, worked out Sunday at the gym, and woke up Monday with really sore back and shoulders. Lots of sinus drainage going on. I took an allegra Monday evening. Tuesday morning still feeling achy and slight phlegm cough so I took a test, positive.
I took 500mg C, 500 mg Quercetin, 30mg zinc, 5000iu D3. What else is on the latest protocol? Any suggestions?

Thanks for the advice. On the flccc website it says to take Ivermectin with food, but other sites say without food. Does it matter? Getting some Ivermectin.

I took the Ivermectin, hopefully all this stuff works.

Thought about Plaxovid? I would probably would at least get a prescription to have it ready in case I started getting worse but that is me. I guess all the side effects may make it not an option for you. Get better soon.

In addition to the FLCCC protocol, I used betadine sore throat gargle and a Neti pot several times a day to help decrease viral load. Covid came and went fairly quickly.

Using a Neti pot just about immediately alleviated my symptoms, which were synonymous with a sinus infection.

You are proactive and will be fine!

Sounds like you had a great back and shoulder day at the gym!

Seriously, hope you feel better. Take the C,D and Zinc and rest and you should be fine. I up the doses whenever I feel sick. Seems to be some evidence that during an illness, extra D and zinc are good and won't hurt you during that short period. I just got over something with bad congestion and cough. I also took Mucinex/dayquil during the day and Nyquil at night. Helped and its gone for the most part now. No idea what it was. I don't get tested....

Glad your doing better and Tylononol is worthless for COVID also.

Still positive this morning

I'm not vaccinated and treated Covid from day 1. Symptoms were very short lived. At that time I had to test weekly for work and tested positive for 2 or 3 weeks, long after symptoms were gone.

I am not sure how variable it is but my wife tested postive for about 2 weeks after she initially got it....we had a test and used it out of curiosity but that was our last one....not sure when she actually would have been "clear" but if you are slightly symptomatic still seems like a good chance you will show as positive for a while...just treat it like you would any other sickness and get back out once symptoms are clear and you feel like getting out.


edit: meant to reply to TX05CCHH

Treat your symptoms. It's not the same disease as two years ago. You don't need a concoction of vitamins. When you don't have fever anymore do whatever you want.

Don't retest. You can test positive for weeks/months, ignore that. I think current guidelines are 5 days then you are good.

Well, crap, literally.

I was feeling good yesterday, ready to get back to home office work for the first part of the week. And then last night I went to the bathroom and there is blood in the stool. What! This is not normal for me. I made my way to the doctor today and got a stool sample kit, that's been fed ex priority shipped this afternoon. I thought I was over all this stuff.

Has anyone heard of anything like this with covid? Too many supplements? I'm more scared of this because I have no idea what's going on

Covid is an inflammatory disease, in that it attacks blood vessels in organs, and yes, GI Issues are one of the symptoms as the intestinal lining gets hit hard sometimes. I'd take pro-biotics and maybe a good yogurt brand to boot. And obviously talk to your doctor about this! Good luck and speedy recovery!

Yes, doing everything I know to do at this point. Just waiting for results from test but that can take 3-4 days. Maybe internal hemorrhoid is inflamed from the coughing and going more frequently.

Most likely the culprit! I had major digestive issues months after covid, as did my wife. We are/were covid long haulers. GI doc said that they have seen a huge uptick in gastro problems since covid. I had blood....turns out, it was inflamed polyps that were benign (removed) that were bleeding.

Good luck.

Lab tests negative for infection, so that's good. But still getting the blood. Doctor says very likely internal hemorrhoid and all inflamed from covid. I just had a colonoscopy March 2021, so very unlikley polyp. Says to give it time.
I've been more fatigued today. I'm on day 10ish. This bleeding thing has me more nervous than I thought I would be.

You'll be fine. I had a slight positive on day 10 and then negative on day 11. I had some weird poops throughout as well.

Before people say, "don't test" which I agree - I had to for work to be able to get on site. They would've given me a waiver even if I was still testing positive but it was a new thing for us.

Day 12 I got hit with real bad fatigue and cognitive issues and I swear my shin splints got worse. 3-4 weeks from recovery I was all good - chest tightness went away after doing some yoga. Got rid of all the weird muscle inflammations that were sticking around.

There's an in between period that isn't long covid but you aren't also 100% after the virus is gone. Unfortunately it doesn't get clicks so it won't get talked about.

Damn that was a long stint. M 57, I just took Benadryl bcz thought I had allergies until my wife tested positive then realized I had gave it to her and a number of friends (this was around Christmas). No one was positive very long.
