Yes, I am officially a victim

of Winnie the Flu, the bastard.

So far nothing horrible, we'll see how the next couple of days go.  Since the only comorbidity I have that I know of it age*, not real worried.  And I think the fever is down some.

Now if I can get some good sleep that'll make a world of difference.


*Far as I know worn-out joints and arthritis don't count

You'll get over faster if you can let the fever run its course and not tamp it down with aspirin.

Liposomal Vitamin C (you can take 5000+ mg without the shits that regular Vitamin C gives you) with Vitamin D and zinc seem to be fine if you can't get HCQ or Ivermectin. When I had it, it was never bad enough that it was worth going to the doctor and getting into The System.

I'll try to remember that for the future about the Liposomal C, I'd not heard of it.

Aspirin hasn't been a problem, as I was out when this started and didn't want to go out and buy any.

Yeah, if it wasn't a work thing I wouldn't have bothered getting tested.

I buy LivOn brand liposomal vitamin C. The hard corps prepper types make in an ultrasonic cleaner, I just buy a box of packets. LivOn is reputable.

My fever lasted for about 24 hours and I was worn out for the next few days. I don't know if it was Necronomicon or not, but all of the symptoms fit. With luck, the acquired immunity they keep denying will kick and and we'll be safe for the foreseeable future.

Same. My fever was overnight, and then I was tired as hell for the next two weeks. (I managed to bone-bruise a rib the week before, so that may have been part of the delayed recovery.)

Got my physical a month later, asked for an antibody test, came back positive (and strong.)

Hmm. The quick test came back positive; just got the RT PCR test result, and it's negative.

By my thermometer still a slight fever, so we'll see how today goes.
