I thought I had a bad cold and sore throat, but thought I should test and it's positive. From my experience.. These are the meds you'll need primary to get over it.. but #1 DO NOT OVEREXERT YOURSELF.. if you start sweating when you get up or see stars.. take it easy.. (its a sign of heart working too hard) #2 Take the meds as necessary.. especially the acetomenophin (might be called Paracetamol in some european countries) #3 if you have trouble breathing.. see if a nasal decongestant helps.. if not go to the hospital. #4 There are some meds available for covid now especially for elderly people - Paxlovid comes to mind but you have to take it within the first 5 days of getting covid. Ask your local pharmacist if they have it. #5 Try and order food rather than make it yourself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxpharm Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I would also recommend taking 1000 IU of Vitamin D3 daily even after recovering from Covid. It has been demonstrated that Vitamin D3 boosts the immune system, particularly in those people who have low levels (little exposure to sunlight). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew I forgot something.. was Vit D and Zinc. That's another symptom of COVID I've been having recently.. brain fog. Never had it before. Like I could meet 5 lb's in 1 day and remember everything to do a meticulous TR. So please listen to rxpharm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibuprofen fucks up my stomach so bad , but I’ve heard they do offer some help against the Covid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably the new BA.4 or BA.5 variant which is supposed to be milder, and not prevented by vaccine. Just feels like a bad cold with sore throat, and I've been feeling tired. Get plenty of sleep and keep hydrated in addition to the other advice. The 4 jabs should help! Get well soon and you should be shaggin in no time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quietguy Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Thanks for the advice guys. I'm feeling better today so I'm probably over the worst. I was unwell since Monday but only tested yesterday so I am supposed to self isolate for five days after positive test. I will stay inside until next Wednesday then test again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No testing here anymore so many here myself included could’ve had it. I’d say the Covid is now, 3 years later a part of other viruses we have to live with, just like experts predicted.

It was only because there was a lot on the news yesterday about a new rise in cases that I thought I should test. The test centres here have been closed and no more free test kits are available. Fortunately (or not) I still have some unused tests I got to take to Thailand. If I had not still had those I would have put it down as a bad cold, not even flu as I didn't have a fever and didn't feel as bad as I did when I had 'real' flu a few years ago. I think there are a lot of people out and about spreading it who think they just have a cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful with thinking you're better. It went in waves for me.. morning I was feeling good... 11AM I was exhausted and symptoms were crazy again.. 3PM feeling okay.. and 7PM it'd hit like a truck again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a bright side though for the next few months you won't have to worry about catching covid and you can plan a good long trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people who had it before are getting reinfected, maybe by the mutating variants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
