So the thing is, my gf told me today she feels bad on her way to home, her muscles was aching, first she thought it's her period days are coming because she felt a distinct pain in her lower back, but when she arrived home she became suddenly very tired and developed a fever 38.6C (101.48F) under like 30 mins. She went to sleep while I arrived. Her temperature lowered to 37.3C (99.14F) but still she had pain all over her body.

Our issue is we don't know what is this, because she did a test in the morning in the office she is working in (she works in home office since months, but today she had to attend in her workplace), so it was a nasal rapid test, but it was negative. The company she is working for usually buys good quality tests, this was made by Siemens if I recall it right.

She has no hint of any respiratory symptoms, just pain, exhausted and fever. She took an aspirin before, that may have lowered her temperature, but later it climbed back to 38.6C (101.48F) again.

We did another nasal rapid test which is negative again. I don't think it is surprising since she has no any respiratory symptoms, no sore throat, no cough, no runny nose.

Since we don't know what is this I gave her only 6000IU vitamin D, 1500mg vitamin C, and let her sleep under 3 blankets, but her temperature and the body pain hardly let her fall asleep, so I've gave her an Apranax (painkiller, antiflammatory, antifever drug) and 7mg melatonin. (we regularly take vitamin D about 3000IU almost every day and about 300mg vitamin C)

Now she is sleeping and her temperature is slowly going down. I'm pretty sure I'll be sick soon.

Since two tests showed negative results I didn't want to give her IVM yet. This is the first time we'd use it if needed. The only issue is, in my country you can not buy it as pill for humans, only for animals. The best I could get is 10mg/ml concentration in drops form, dissolved in propylene-glycol and some glycerin. It is not for internal use, but the substances are not really toxic, at least in such small quantity (1.2ml would be 12mg).

What do you think, if tomorrow she feels better then we shouldn't use anything else except the vitamins, or should we start the IVM therapy?

The tests are inaccurate. Stop taking COVID tests. If they did a flow assay they could actual tell if something there was infectious, but PCR tests and "rapid" antibody tests are GARBAGE. It's basically propaganda. Those antigen tests pick up antibodies to the common cold if it's coronavirus based, and the PCR tests are jacked up to 40 cycles half the time.

What the hell? Link to the product. Don't put that shit in your body if you don't know what is in it! If you get the dose wrong it could mean no effect or death. I think 50% lethal dose for ivermectin is pretty high, but you don't want to fuck up the measurements. Also I've never heard of "drops". I don't know what quality control is in place.

If you are 100% certain you can figure out 0.2mg/kg to 0.4mg/kg and those drops are actually what's listed on the label, ok fine. That's a lot of ifs. Find someone who has experience with those drops and make sure other people have gone first, and make sure you know how to measure the dose.

Why haven't you done 50mg Zinc + Quercetin? That's hugely important and not dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. Go buy that shit at the health food store.

It was mandatory for her to take one when she entered the office so she was tested anyways, we just did another for why not if it was lying around. (btw rapid tests are never showed positive results for any of us no matter what symptoms we had, so I also think they are useless)

What the hell? Link to the product.

https://www.petissimo.hu/madaraknak/eloskodok-ellen/sh-ivermectin-spot-on.html Here you can't get it as pills, just this drop and balm. I've downloaded the official certificate for the product but they didn't write what other materials used (which is weird, it should be on the paper). After further investigation I've found the same product in larger quantity, this is 1 liter: http://petdrogeria.hu/web/node/814 Here they at least write they use propylene-glycol and gylcerin as solvent (since IVM is insoluble in water). This has 10g of IVM in 1000ml, my drops is 10ml, with 10mg/ml concentration, so dosing is not hard to calculate, 1ml contains 10mg IVM. The only thing makes me worry is the solvents, but propylene-glycol is quite non-toxic, glycerine neither, at least in such a small concentration. The quality might be worrisome, since this is for transdermal use, but I know some people use this, which is not really a reliable info, but it is something. Btw the same authority controls the quality for vet meds as for human meds, so it is controlled in a way.

If you are 100% certain you can figure out 0.2mg/kg to 0.4mg/kg

I'm pretty sure I can, but I'm not sure I should, this is why I'm a bit more careful, I keep it as a last resort solution. Thankfully she is much better now, she had a bit high temperature yesterday, but no fever, today she is almost completely fine. I gave her 9mg melatonin before sleep and a lot of vitamins during the day, it seems it resolved everything for now. I still don't have any symptoms.

Why haven't you done 50mg Zinc + Quercetin?

I was going to, but I couldn't get quercetin yet, but I found a pharmacy that sells it, today I go grab a pack and zinc.

Edit: Just an update for the story if it helps someone:

So she almost completely recovered under 2 days just with melatonin, a little fever-control and C+D vitamins. On the 4th day she went to official testing, and they made a rapid test that showed positive results (so they didn't bother making a PCR test), so we are quarantined. I still think their test is useless but it is what it is. I'm still not having any symptoms, and probably won't if I'm not having any yet. I've gone through it few weeks before, but I didn't have fever, just a little elevated body temperature that resolved itself quite fast. In exchange I had diarrhea for a few days. None of us lost smell or taste. So that's all. No vax, just common meds and common sense. We both are between 30-40 years, and not in perfect health condition.
