Been feeling ill for a couple of days and developed a whanger of a headache. Wifey suggested I use one of the home tests I got from Amazon a little while back. And it says I have Covid.

So out comes the Durvet horsey paste. Wifey cut up some apples (as I figured pretending to be a horse would help things), and I squeezed out a 250-pound portion on to one apple boat. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.

My sinuses seem mostly unaffected. I’m coughing just a little, but am very able to clear my lungs of the small amount of whatever is there. My energy is way down (general fatigue) and I still have this massive headache. For that I’ve taken Tylenol, aspirin, and ibuprofen, but none of it has helped much.

Oh - and I had massive diarrhea and nausea yesterday and the day before. Is that a covid symptom? Took Immodium two days in a row and it seems to have helped. Stomach is still a little fragile feeling though so Wifey has limited me to rice with butter on it. (It’s like a fucking Nork prison here.)

Neither I, nor any of my immediately family, have gotten the shot - and we still will not.

Anyone else gone through this shit?

Take vitamin D in the winter, ffs. You people: this has been a known fact, for a very long time. Vitamin D deficiency, especially during the winter, handicaps your immune system. 10k IU per day, if you feel symptoms starting to develop. You'd be over it in a couple days. I know, because that's exactly how it played out for me, after I started taking it. Even if I get some sniffles and coof for a day or two, it goes away in less than a week and it's never bad enough that some dayquil can't basically make me "asymptomatic".

Yep hospitalized people with higher vitamin D levels do much better. It's been a known fact for a while. You won't hear about it on the TV!!!

Thanks doctor autist. My diet and vitamin intake has been pretty much exactly the same for fifteen years or so. Prior to Covid happening, I had been sick maybe three times in that period. Two for sure that I can think of.

It’s not like my vitamin levels suddenly made me susceptible to illness during the outbreak of a new virus

I just assumed your diet and nutrition are shit. Statistically, it's a pretty safe bet to make. Seriously, I don't care. I know what works for me. If you're comfortable dismissing everyone else's opinion because you know better, then whatever. No skin off my back. Funny thing is: you're talking as if you believe there's a (totally new and unheard-of) virus out there, that isn't just the standard mutation that happens every year, while at the same time thinking that trying something new is worthless advice.

D3 levels make a serious difference if you even catch the coof. Where I live my chances of catching and dying from the Fauci flu are about 1 in 250,000, says this Oxford University risk calculator: https://www.qcovid.org/
