I started feeling bad this past Thursday, by Friday morning felt like hammered dogshit. Worst i've felt in over 20 years. Aching joints & muscles, lungs burned like hell when I coughed, severe headache, sore throat. Went to the walk in clinic hoping to just get a antibiotic. She gave me 3 options, some type of flu pill one pill and done, second choice was Tamiflu. I said no to those options, third option she told me was giving me a steroid to help alleviate the symptoms and let my body fight it off. Thats the route I took, and she was also in favor of it. Kind of shocked me at first, but recalling her kinda downplaying the first 2 options as she explained them, shes more in favor of your body doing the work. Am taking the steroid along with Mucinex, and I'm feeling 50% better already. I looked into ivermectin, but being a heart patient I read about possible side effects, possibly making the problems more severe. Oh, and she never brought up getting the flu shot or the covid vaxx.
