Boulder CO, stayed at motel 6, ate at denny&#8217;s, later that eve, ate at arbys (because the symptoms set so quickly after, I might have gotten it days earlier).<\/p>\n<p>9\/3 headache, nausea, swollen lips, chest pain<\/p>\n<p>9\/4 same, mild cough, lip swelling subsides<\/p>\n<p>9\/5 fever starts, breaks into cold sweat 10pm, headache persists, lips drying out<\/p>\n<p>At this point I did not suspect covid, then &#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>9\/6 Milk tastes &#8216;tinny&#8217;, no flavor in other foods\u00a0 (this is when I went to FLCCC in search of Ivermectin, self quarantined).\u00a0 Extreme periodic dizzy spells, headache subsides<\/p>\n<p>9\/7 Sudden but short fever, breaks into cold sweat, no more nausea, light cough.<\/p>\n<p>9\/8 -9\/10 still trying to get Ivermectin prescription (no dr&#8217;s in my state will prescribe) found a Dr. in AZ (family practice), will prescribe but ships from NY, chest is beginning to tighten and lung capacity diminishing but not critical<\/p>\n<p>9\/11 Chest tightness culminates, breathing and talking is difficult, I&#8217;m refusing to go to hosp or let my wife take my blood O2 measurement.\u00a0 We know where that leads.\u00a0 She&#8217;s vaxed and constantly listens to NPR &#8211; nuf said about that.<\/p>\n<p>9\/12 The tightness of chest suddenly subsides but breathing capacity is very low and I&#8217;m feeling weak (low blood O2).\u00a0 I&#8217;m bedridden with this until 9\/13.<\/p>\n<p>9\/15-16\u00a0 I&#8217;m desperate and FINALLY my ivermectin arrives (20 16mg capsules, 2 per day), I immediately get on the DR&#8217;s program &#8211; zinc, and a bunch of other vitamins, meds 3 times a day.<\/p>\n<p>9\/17 Start feeling the effects of the ivermectin against the &#8216;crap&#8217; in my chest.<\/p>\n<p>9\/18 Unbelieveable relief but still feeling the effects.<\/p>\n<p>9\/20-9\/26 &#8211; Recovery complete just after 9th dose of Ivermectin, I could take deep breaths again, still weak, lost 15 lbs and no appetite.<\/p>\n<p>If anyone wants the prescribed supplementals list (zinc, quertcin etc), I&#8217;ll provide upon request (email me).<\/p>\n<p>_________________________________<\/p>\n<p>On 9\/16 my Dad had covid bad, he&#8217;s 78.<\/p>\n<p>Basically he couldn&#8217;t breath and I couldn&#8217;t find a dr. in the state who&#8217;d prescribe oxygen and his o2 levels went down to the 70&#8217;s (even after he was on doses of ivermectin 3mg pills) I couldn&#8217;t get them in quantity (local pharmacy wanted $360 for 80 3mg pills).\u00a0 I reluctantly had to take him to hospital, they tested him for &#8216;everything&#8217; and all that came up positive was covid (he said it was literally hell in there), long story short, we got him out on hospice (the hosp doesn&#8217;t release on hospice unless the prognosis is dire &#8211; on the 2nd day they wanted to keep him and get him on a 3 day IV drip of Remdesivir and we said no way and got him out), he&#8217;s now at home on oxygen and recovering.\u00a0 By that time we got more Ivermectin and put him on a 36mg\/day doseage, after 8 days he could breath again (like a stone off his chest).\u00a0 He&#8217;s recovering nicely now but was incredibly weakened by the ordeal (23lbs).<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of this post is primarily to add to the multitude of anecdotes, solutions, challenges and lessons dealing this this thing.\u00a0 Hopefully it will help someone get prepared.\u00a0 I regret to consider the tens of thousands of families that rely on Hosp. and Dr. recommendations and their loved one&#8217;s (in my opinion unecessarily) DIE there.\u00a0 I&#8217;m lucky and didn&#8217;t have to fight family tooth and nail to get him out.<\/p>\n<p>BTW my Dad claims that the hosp asked him if he would sign a power of attorney over to the hosp.\u00a0 In his delusional and anguished state, I&#8217;m somewhat doubtful that&#8217;s what they were trying to do but honestly, I wouldn&#8217;t put it past them.\u00a0 Once he declined (outraged more like it), he said they never approached him again about it.<\/p>\n<p>Hope this not-as-short-as-I&#8217;d-hoped story helps someone out there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EDITOR&#8217;S NOTE : REPOST FROM LAST NIGHT ;
