Dammit! +ve covid test

[Morrus]

Fully vaccinated and have barely left the house in 2 years, but it still found me. I'm now officially a walking Covid.

Right now it feels like a very heavy cold. Hoping it doesn't get worse, and the vaccinations stave off the worst of it.

Sucks a lot. After so long working so hard to stay cv free.

Take zinc supplements and about 4000 units of vitamin D each day. It won't make it vanish, but it will go a long way towards mitigating the effects. Dealt with this about a year ago- the Vit-D and Zinc helped me get through it with no major symptoms or issues. An osteopathic doctor recommended it, and it worked great. Hope you feel better soon. Better still, if you have a local doc that will prescribe you ivermectin, it'll be cured in a few days. Despite what the MSM has been saying, Ivermectin is not 'horse dewormer,' although that is a veterinary application of it. Ivermectin won the 2016 nobel prize as a life-saving anti-parasitic medicine for human beings.

That's terrible! I hope it's not rough on you and that you are able to ride it out swiftly.

I really hope you’re kidding.

The fundamental application for ivermectin in humans and animals is the same: it’s an anti-parasitic. Viruses aren’t parasites. Ivermectin’s antiviral properties are so minimal that taking an effective dose of it to combat COVID would be toxic.

oh dear!, praying for a fast and easy recovery for you

Yeah don't listen to the internet for medicine advice. Drink lots fluids. Get your PCR done ASAP. Unless it's Omicron or they work in the NHS your fully vaccinated house chums can still go to work, etc assuming they are negative! Keep safe

Completely agree. Ivermectin is a wonderful drug absolutely wonderful.....at killing parasites. If covid was a parasite, sign me up.

But its not, and there just is no conclusive evidence it helps against covid. Meanwhile, the drug absolutely can have side effects, ESPECIALLY if you are taking the ones reserved for animals instead of humans (which sadly many people have).


Back to other remedies, I'll agree with the Zinc and Vitamin D dosages. There has been some links between low vitamin D level and bad covid (for example I had a hospitalized case of covid and my vitamin D had bottomed out). Now whether the virus is draining vitamin D or is worse in people with low vitamin D is not yet known. But we do know that high dosages of these vitamins are perfectly safe for short term (you don't want to take very high dosages of Vitamin D for a long time as it can build up toxicity, but for a few weeks or months no problem), so its one of those (we don't know if it helps, but it won't hurt either).

Get some rest and feel better soon! I've known a few fully vaxxed people with breakthrough cases, and all of them said that it was like a cold, and they were grateful to have been vaccinated. No hospitalizations (knock on wood) among that group.

First, that Nobel Prize was in 2015. Second, it was for treatment of parasitic diseases - the specific initial target for avermectin was roundworm - the drug is basically apoison that the worms are slightly more subject to than humans are. It, and the other drugs in the family, have no particular activity relevant to viral infections. You will slough out the lining of your intestines before ivermectin gives you any benefit fighting covid.

Vitamin supplementation doesn't hurt, but has not shown to have particular efficacy in fighting covid.

You're spreading some pretty common misinformation. We've no tolerance for it here.
