No ones dong grew either, despite the rumors... which I am rather pissed about.
I wouldn't wish this shit on anybody. It's kicking my ass right now. The fever and headache is relentless. Nausea is really bad too.
Very sorry to hear that. We all hope you get better
I got my second shot this morning, just a sore arm so far. It is worse than with the first one though. I never felt that one till the next day.
Did they start you on the Plasma therapy. Can't remember the name of it but Gulfport is using it and they are having good success with it if you get it in time.Quote:

Most of the people I know who have had this reaction say it's gone after about 24 hours. It's still way better than having the actual disease.Quote:

I didn't meet the criteria for antibodies. Too young and not obese enough. My underlying conditions aren't diabetes etc. I tried to argue but they apparently have a specific list.
Wow! I didn't realize that hospitals/doctors were actually trying the Ivermectin. I've got a whole bottle of the stuff.Quote:

You can do the same for Bexar County/San Antonio mass site.
I go back for my booster Feb 23rd. Every person I’ve spoken with at this moment has been knocked on their ass for a day. I’m taking mine before heading in to work, could be a rough couple days
Hospitalizations are down in MS. Great news
Cooter....keep bugging them for plasma. I?m in healthcare. Multiple reports from patients who improved immediately after receiving plasma.
My neighbor is an Cov ICU nurse on the Coast. One thing they are doing is once you are positive they start a new treatment on you ASAP to help stave off you getting worse. I don't know the name of the drug, it starts with an M, but Oschners and one of the hospitals on the Coast are doing it. The idea is to treat early before it gets into your chest. And it's really cutting down on ICU admittance. Of course if you are Stage 4 lung cancer ot a real bad heart condition not much can be done for you.Quote:

NHey Coot how you doing?
Still around. Got a mild case of pneumonia and nausea is so bad I struggle to eat. Down 12 LBs so far. Coughing up a bunch of lung gravy.
Taking Vit D, zinc, pepsid, & Zyrtec. When fever comes around, take ibuprofen. Oxygen levels have been steady around 96.
I've also heard from an ICU nurse that some of the side effects of having the virus are blood clots and they're starting aspirin regiments to thin the blood.Quote:

Had my 2nd saturday. Only a little soreness around the injection site/Quote:

Same here. Woke up this morning with soreness not nearly as bad as last night. It's strange how it affects people differently. Just like the virusQuote:
