So last night I was feeling kind of lousy, temp 98.6 as normal though.

This morning I awoke with this strange headache- like my head is a fish bowl or something. I was also getting chills and goosebumps, so I took my temp again- 100.3. A few hours later, I'm at 100.8.

Besides the weird headachey feeling and the chills, I'm totally fine- no cough, no nasal issues, stomach is fine, I can breathe normally, etc.. But there's definitely something up, I do not get ill often and usually when I do, it's bad but short-lived with a quick recovery.

I'm not totally sure why I'm sharing this... I don't believe covid is what we were told, if it exists at all. A few days ago, I assisted in setting up my community's annual "community day". I spent a few hours with a few dozen people, mostly older (45+) and all but one or two of them have gotten the clot-shot.

So here I am, wondering if I picked something up from being around all of the shot NPCs for a few hours. I also got bit by mosquitoes, one was enormous and left half-an-egg lump on my shin.

I just don't want this to interfere with my work. Wouldn't it be some shit if "covid" took me out after I've talked so much shit? These are the thoughts floating around in my feverish mind.

Also- cortisol, the stress hormone: released whenever you are under stress. Prolonged stress weakens your immune system. And here I am stressing over what I may or may not have, which probably isn't helping me.

I'm just going to stay calm, and deal with this like any other sickness: stay in bed, eat chicken soup, take naproxen salts to lower my fever if it gets too high, nice hot baths. No reason to become hysterical, right? It's hard not to, because your employer's policy is "become hysterical and panic if an employee shows any sign of illness"; hysteria/panic is more contagious than most viruses.

Any thoughts, people? Suggestions? I'm not going to get a covid test unless I am forced to, because I know my own body pretty well and I'm not exhibiting enough symptoms of "covid" to worry me.

100.8 is not too bad and within the margin of error of thermometers available to the public (both digital and analog.) probably not a form of the flu, neither influenza or Covid. My story, last year, in July 2020, I came down with the flu, 103 temp for three days, body aches, weakness, hot and cold flashes. I didn’t realize I lost my sense of smell until it started coming back, whoa! I have suffered from the flu in the past, not fun and a couple weeks to recover. This event was different. As soon as my fever broke, I was back to normal, just 3 to 5 later days later I was back on my feet. I’ve never had a flu like that. Here we are today, I have a persistent upper body rash, mild, but noticeable. I suffer boughts of shortness of breath when working out. I’m not saying I got the covid, but absolutely refuse to take the Jab.

I have a persistent upper body rash, mild, but noticeable.

Hold on- what does it look like? Does it kind of look like ringworm crossed with poison oak/ivy? Do long blisters form under the skin with clear fluid, itchy and red? It goes away one week, you think it's gone, then suddenly around 8pm your elbow is itchy and OH FUCK NOT AGAIN, there's a little blistered area? They can form like little interlocked blisters, quite deep beneath the skin- if left alone, it'll itch like hell but the swelling goes down and leaves the area discolored. Am I describing something similar to you?

I've been experiencing this since I believe I had covid in November 2019. Bad flu took out my neighborhood and entire team at work, had us all laid up for 1-2 weeks. We just thought it was the flu. Looking back, I think it might have been the coof. I've had this rash looked at- it's not a fungal infection, it's believed to be a "contact rash", which sounds like an allergic reaction... but I don't have allergies I'm aware of. Haven't switched soaps or anything like that.

No, no, for me it’s just a mild rash that fades, then it pronounces again, no puss, no oils, barely itches if not at all. It seems more like a shingle virus but it’s not painful, only appeared after my flu last year.

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt (edited )

Sounds like a viral outbreak. I have those from shingles and EBV. I follow my regime as noted above and take 1500mg of quercetin 2x daily until the rash recedes. I've taken prescription anti-virals but no effect. I get these outbreaks when I'm under stress mental and/or physical. If you haven't already exit sugar from your diet.

Just a little heads up on the rash, I started taking the NAC supplement about a week ago and I can already see a change in the rash intensity, it’s about half now. I’ll keep taking it and let you know if it improves further.

Mine is completely vanished. Entirely. I haven't been so clear of it in a long time- I might have had some kind of vitamin deficiency or something; when I was sick last week, I started taking a few extra supplements (stuff I know I'm not getting from food) and cold-cure stuff like vitamin C, those Zicam tablets (I think these are really good) and milk thistle.

I've totally recovered from w/e it was that I came down with last week. A couple people, including my doctor, have just started to come down with a cold or something similar to what I had.

[–] [deleted] • 3 pts (edited )

For 2 days, take 2000 mils of vitamin C two-three times a day. Down it with lots of green tea, black teas, juices and heated water with lemon. Don't eat anything solid. If you get starving drink warmed organic beef stock with a few dashes of pepper. Miso is great for this as well. You should see results in a day. One other part to the regime, sit naked in a heated bathroom and run the shower full on hot. After a few minutes you should sweat, let it happen. You want the toxins to release. The juices, teas, and stock will help this process. I get into a tepid shower and wash off the sweat turning the water to cold for a few seconds at the end. Air out your house and stand outside in the sun every few hours and breathe fresh air. You will likely get sleepy and crash for several hours. Should be ship shape when you awaken.

Grabbing your post to point out that there has been a global out break of RSV on the back of hospital mismanagement

Hope you feel better- this virus mania has everyone so on edge...NPC's that's a perfect description for these lunatics. Its coming into cold and flu seasons but there's a good chance you got something from those damned mosquitoes.

A couple years ago I got nailed by mosquitoes and ended up with west nile- I was really sick, fever, chills, weak...severe headache; all the classic signs/symptoms of an encephalitis- it sucked.

Be sure to drink plenty of fluids and rest; vitamin C daily as well. Remember, 99% of folks that do contract covid recover with no issues. Chill with a benzo if you get too stressed.

Haha, way ahead of you there, cousin. It certainly calms the mind a bit, helped me to catch a nap earlier. Thinking about taking a half a tablet and going to bed in a few minutes here.

Hmm... so I've quit smoking cigarettes and I've been vaping for a while now. My lung health has measurably improved (lung age test shows my lungs being about two years younger than I am- compared to the last test a year ago where my lung age was exactly my age), and there's a lot of info out there about possible health benefits from vaping. Propelyne glycol, the main ingredient in nicotine fluids, has been shown to have anti-bacterial and possibly anti-viral properties. Just an interesting thought.

I agree...

My juice store just told me what they have is the last. Because of (((FDA))) regs they have to switch to synthetic nicotine..... I bet from China...

Edit: Also Nicotine kills virii, and smoking damages AC2 receptors which covid needs.

People get sick all the time and it can present in various ways. You're mildly ill, don't overthink it - take a day off if you can. Rest, drink liquids, relax and get well soon.

don't overthink it

2 years ago, I wouldn't have. But after almost 2 years of intensive propaganda and calls to worry, I'm afraid it has burrowed into my psyche.

Government at beginning of "pandemic": OMG EVERYONE STAY HOME, YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!! YOU'LL KILL YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY, STAY AT HOME! HERE, HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN "FREE" MONEY TO KEEP YOU GOING THROUGH THIS!

Government this year: Why doesn't anyone want to go back to work? Why are people fearful?

Honk fucking honk. In truth, I believe I had covid (or a nightmarish flu) in November, months ahead of anything about covid being leaked onto the internet. This flu was bad, it took out my entire neighborhood for a week, everyone at work came down with it. Guys that would show up to work missing a leg were suddenly calling out sick with this shit. We all believed it to be the flu, and we all recovered.

If covid is real, I think that was it. I think it was unleashed into the world long before info started appearing online. But maybe this is just the feverish ramblings of a delusional man who is sick of being gaslit.

I'll need to start you on some horse tranquilizer.

Treat it as a cold or the flu. Ignore it. If you feel really bad, stay at home and go to bed. Take cold remedies if you want them for symptoms. Covid is not a dangerous disease for 99.99% of the population.

Don't tell anyone you have a fever. Don't go to the hospital. Don't let those bastards get their hands on you! If you have trouble breathing, the drugs used to treat asthma work very well to open your lungs. Maybe you know someone with asthma? Borrow some of their drugs, if you need them.

Maybe you know someone with asthma?

Perhaps I do. Albuterol is what he gets, I think- not that I would ever take someone else's prescription drugs, of course.

Make sure you're sleeping enough and bomb your system with vitamins, zinc, lysine, etc. Keep your immune system as strong as possible to avoid and/or lessen the effects of what may be being transmitted from people.

So, personal anecdote I haven't shared with anyone. Coworkers have been getting vaxed sporadically and I have had 2 or 3 instances of similar sudden onset symptoms after being in close contact with these people. 1 of these incidental close encounters really stands out in my mind. I felt fine, good even, before contact and about 2 hours after contact I began to feel slightly feverish and my body started aching a little. I also did have a slightly elevated temp. Tylenol, water, a heavy vitamin load, and a hard sleep and I was good again the next day. Still got no idea wtf. All I can say is trust your body and give it what it needs to fight.

What you're describing is remarkably similar to how this went for me. I thought the aches and lethargy was a result of helping to set up for the community day.

Many, many doctors are coming forward and warning that the people who have been shot will carry and spread the disease. This shit burrows into my psyche, and my head is spinning with possibilities- but I will absolutely NOT see a doctor. I do not trust them anymore, unless they are absolutely 100% clear on the truth of the covid hoax. The way I look at it, every doctor who got behind the hoax, every doctor who kept their mouth shut and looked the other way- they're all fucking complicit. This is THEIR fault.

Never forget the Millgram Experiment, which found that like 8/10 people have such blind, naive trust in a "man with labcoat and clipboard", that they will literally administer LETHAL DOSES of electricity to a man (actually an actor) in the next room as he screams in agony, talking about his heart condition and begging for mercy. All the lab coat guy had to do was calmly, politely say "Please turn the dial up 100 volts, and press the button." until they reached a lethal dose of electricity. And the test subjects were made aware that it was a lethal shock- the lab coat guy simply told them "You won't be held legally liable for anything that happens to the man in the next room."

There's video footage of some of these tests. One man has morals and was a total Chad- he participated at first, but once the actor started crying about his heart condition, the Chad subject got pissed and even threatened the lab coat faggot if he didn't help the actor. But 80% of people will KNOWINGLY MURDER SOMEONE, an objectively immoral and wrong act, to the cries and pleas for mercy.... as long as lab coat faggot is telling them it's okay.

And this is what they used to pacify us- our blind trust in our perceived "betters". Never mind the fact that I, just a guy without a college degree, was talking about the potential pandemic weeks before the CDC, Trump, or any other officials even fucking mentioned it. This leaves two possibilities: either some nobody with common sense and an internet connection can more accurately predict and begin warning of a potential pandemic than the teams of hundreds of college educated virologists (y'know, the people whose JOB it is to figure this stuff out), OR the pandemic is bullshit and they just used "smart guys" like me to spread early hysteria, before it became clear that it was a hoax.

I think that a lot of doctors are highly educated retards, like many degreed professionals. Their knowledge is vast in their field, not always the same where common sense is concerned. The fucked up thing is I think most of them mean well, but they are terrified of questioning or challenging medical authority, lest their license be revoked. Many are just fucking scumbags. Sadly ultimately, they're human, same as you and me. They were never to be 100% trusted as they may be operating on misinformation, after all, they do prescribe all those recalled poison drugs that they overprescribe. They have a strong incentive to go along or else, and people like fauchi are their own man in a white coat that they trust implicitly. I've never heard of the milligram experiment, I'm gonna look that up, thanks.

And this is precisely the kind of MORAL COWARDICE which leads to the USA becoming a bizarre form of "medical tyranny".

This isn't just doctors, people in every field who do something they know is wrong in fear of "rocking the boat" contributed to this enormous mess we are in. But it's the doctors whom we trust to protect us from this shit, and to save us if we get it. They want special treatment, absurd pay rates, questionable ethics regarding relations with big-pharma; they want all of the perks of being a doctor (a "savior of society who heals people") without the fucking responsibility of doing the right thing.

I think that this is one of the reasons doctors take the Hippocratic oath; but that was devised back when people actually took oaths seriously because there were severe, often deadly, consequences for violating said oaths. Today, oaths are just a formality that don't really mean anything and you will not be held to. For example, General Milley communicating with Chinese assets, telling them that he'd inform them if the US was to take action against them. This violates the oath of enlistment, and where is Milley now? Still has his job, and this story is just a fart in the wind.

It could be exaggerated withdrawal, from a number of things, even sugar etc

My point is, the body really can conjure up REAL illness just from a disruption in homeostasis (body regulation). This is how symptoms arise - often related to the disturbance of ACE2 receptors. Go through opiate withdrawal a few times and it will leave you permanently questioning the nature of illness and its expression

Asymptomatic imo is garbage because these biological pathways must be triggered as part of the virus lifecycle

Fever is good. Just give it water and thank your immune system for doing such fast work.
