Did anyone you contacted in the public health world, given you're just a couple days in with light symptoms, suggest monoclonal antibodies?

Nothing yet and it’s Saturday so my doctor is off, and my agency’s medical office is closed. Feel good other than headache and back pain but back pain is something I live with. By the time this long weekend ends I’ll either be cured or in the ER.

Hit us now, too. My wife woke up achy and with chills last Saturday morning. Developed a bad headache and loss of appetite but still could taste. She moved into the guest bedroom for 2 and 1/2 days. I started gargling with H2O2 mixed with Listerine. Since the beginning, in 2020, I've taken vitamin D, zinc, and quinine (tonic water with orange juice).

Neither of us have been vaccinated and my wife is 6 years younger than me. I woke up Monday morning with a runny nose, feeling slight chills, and my eyes hurt but no headache. I didn't mention it to my wife, but I expected to wake up with it full-blown on Tuesday. Tuesday morning I woke up feeling fine. My taste buds were screwed up by the gargling but nothing else. No testing so we have no idea what we actually had, but, for me, it was less than the mildest cold I've ever had. I have no lasting effects, but my wife has a slight lingering cough.

I tried sleeping for nearly 12 hours last night, tossed and turned a lot but feel better today. Heart rate is back to normal and feel much better now. Headache is gone with OTC Mucinex Maximum Strength Severe Cold and Flu medicine. Hopefully this was all it is…

Exactly. Wish you the best. Mayo lady that dealt with me over the phone and set up the antibodies said (their diktat) they wanted to avoid light symptoms going away only to come roaring back later.

PSM probably just scared hell out of his, given his locale.

Glad to hear that you appear to be on the downside of it now. Welcome to the herd!

What?! I like my ER, they've been very, very good to me. This is a really nice hospital (https://www.professionalsoldiers.com...Vista+Regional). It sucks that I have to keep injuring myself to visit it. My wife loves the waiting room. It's very comfy.

I'm sure this is redundant but just in case...
In past threads I recall you have a pulse ox.
If your reading drops under 94% despite resting n deep breathing please have someone drive you to the ER asap!

Its the regular threshold before I put some one on o2 back in the ER. But I remember the last patient who almost required medevac. Her personal doc advised her against antibodies when her symptoms were mild. Few days later when her O2 sat dropped, we brought her in, put on o2 n by then she consented to the antibody + few other cocktails. The medevac was initiated but thankfully she turned around. No vaccines available during this time so we had a nurse who already got and recovered to work 1:1 with the patient

Just let you guys know,‘I’m pretty much sure this thing is 99.83% in the rear-view-mirrors; left behind at the first rest stop. Today has been quite normal for me. Never once felt a respiratory or clotting problem and O2 saturation levels have remained normal for me (which is about 98%) up to 100 or down to 95 (rarely). BP has been good even with all the extra cold&flu meds.

That is good to hear, thanks.

You will be okay. I tested positive 31st December. So, my staycation ended 10th.
Mostly coughing and sneezing with mild nose congestions. Took the normal regimin of vitamins I've taken for over 6 months now-. What helped me was use of a netipot with salt water. i've taken only 1 covid vaccine. J&J in June 2021. I'm in the camp on no mRNA vaccines. Found on deepcapture I'm in the camp of Army Flight Surgeon named Lt. Colonel Dr. Theresa Long, MD, of Ft. Rucker. for those who would read her affidavit, by the way a good read. I like her reasoning!

""US COVID-19 Vaccines Proven to Cause More Harm than Good Based on Pivotal Clinical Trial Data Analyzed Using the Proper Scientific Endpoint, All Cause Severe Morbidity,” by J. Bart Classen, MD and published in Trends in Internal Medicine; August 25, 2021.""

I'm 74, very good health by was VA doctor has said and my Johns Hopkins doctor last visit in October, At least I'll live till my next appointment!sarcasm

I hope this helps.

I am really glad to hear that you are better! But, how did you calculate that probability so precisely?

The number of people in the world population not affected by or recovered from Covid. *

I will add the Apple Watch 7’s blood oxygen sensor is spot on and handy. Matches up with my pulse oximeter with same results.

(ETA: * I made it up like all statistics )

LOL. A data point with more actual value than internet statistics.

Funny you said netipot. some 18D's are currently messing with nose wash and deluded Iodine solution to kill off COVID in the nasal passage. Saying it really speeds up recovery.
