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?

People who have had it understand that people who don’t get it because they don’t leave their house don’t know shit.

Even the doctors who are against the narrative don’t claim that it isn’t real, only nobodies on Internet forums.

I have it for the second time. Right now. The common cold doesn’t give me “zaps” in my face. The flu doesn’t make me unable to smell the strongest spices in my cabinet.

It’s not the cold. It’s not the flu. It’s not fucking deadly, but it is unique.

Yes it does, it blocks your sinuses.

It blows my fucking mind that the temporary loss of sense/smell is being touted as a special new symptom. It's as if everyone collectively decided to forget that sinus infections / blockage were ever a thing.

I've had the flu, I've had lifelong asthma, Bronchitis, colds, 17 operations, I'm in my 50's.

NEVER have I had something that instantly took my ability to smell or taste.

Till I caught Covid.

No, my sinuses are not blocked

Regardless. The flu does block your sinuses. So you can't smell.

A zinc deficiency cause by over exposure to electrical radiation will make your sense of smell go away. You are explaining a lot of the same stuff people used to go through in the 1800's coined as "neurasthenia" or telegraph sickness

Right. My zinc deficiency just happened to rear its head during two of the five times I’ve gotten sick in the last fifteen years, and both times while people in my immediate family who I’ve been in close contact with are testing positive for Covid.

Because that wouldn’t be a massive fucking coincidence
