My covid experience

[Honu]

So finally got it now I have natural immunity
Figure writing this out I was looking for others experience just to get some idea and I have had a lot of folks I know who have had it so here is mine

Our friends are about 50/50 on the vax and most are non mask types
Have had no friends die but two hospitalized one has had serious issues but she had a lot of issues to begin with diabetes weight and lung issues etc...
Quite a few got bad flu like symptoms really bad cough etc...
And about equal with was like a cold but they felt it
A few were a few days barely noticed or not a big deal reckon I fall into this

So myself
Not vaxed no desire either !
58yr old 5’11” 175-180lbs lean ripped insane shape
Eat zero sugar 0 junk 0 process food etc...
Diet is Carnivore but OK with a few whole foods but rarely do anything but meat just no desire to and no reason check my blood enough again labs etc... insane good true metabolic shape etc...

I had history of lung damage from sulfur dioxide in my 40s I was around a lot and it got to me that is my only bad history I was worried about
But I used to be a big free diver like 4 min breathe hold rode 250+ miles a week on bicycle and swam a insane amount etc...
Never been a drinker never did drugs etc... I had a craft beer like 3 years ago at a friends 4th july so truly no drinking person my only vice is Espresso

So on Fri the 5th my wifes Bday I was going to have a tiny bite of some mochi ice cream she got as a desert on her and kids Bday I allow myself one bite of their Bday treat but was like HUH I cant taste it so grabbed my coffee beans could not smell ! HMMM grab some vinegar and YUP no smell at all I did think I was a bit worn down tired that day but just chalked it up to a lot of work but kinda knew with the smell what was up !
Whats funny is at dinner I could taste my food ! So my smell went within a hour !
Called in and could not get test till Mon no temperature or anything ? Did take some nyquil that night just to help lower any fever and get a bit more rest in case that would be a issue

So Sat 6th I did have a bit of ache in my upper body kinda like I had done some yard work in my arms and was a bit more tired than usual I never take naps never get tired during day kinda person took some dayquil in morning temp was at 100.4 (not a fever) was back to normal couple hours later that eve (bedtime) took some nyquil again just to help sleep and temp was back to about 100 so bring that back down no cough or any breathing issue

Sun 7th my upper body was fine but my lower body now was a bit soar and again was more tired than usual and slept in quite late got up temp was 100.4 again so took some dayquil no cough no breathing issues temp back to normal in a few hours

Mon 8th got up felt quite good no aches temp was again at 100.4 so took some dayquil and went to my drive through check and got the results a few hours later (quick check) just took it easy and got to bed early no temp that eve no cough no breathing issue felt fine

Tue 9th no temp in morning no aches no pains felt good just took it easy no cough no breathing issues

Wed 10th I could smell my shaving stuff ! So smell was back No temp no aches again took it easy no cough no breathing issue

Thur 11th I did get a bit of chest tightness and a bit of lung feeling when I breathed deep almost like super light feeling bronchitis but no coughing no wheezing etc... so scheduled a doctors call (like call in telemed thing) that day just to see about getting something for the lungs to make sure nothing got in and asked for some albuterol and qvar 80 (got the generic equiv) asked about ivermectin (YIKES with that guy) this was a zoom call he did say if he had not known he would not have thought I had it as many he said cant complete sentences without a extra breathe and do seem to have some labored breathing and very common cough and just appear sick and tired

Fri 12th woke up perfectly fine about a hour later I could feel a touch of tightness in my lungs again no cough no other issues but taking the albuterol qvar cocktail to be safe (past history) and would say a few days of the albuterol qvar everything was fine

Basically have just kept up on the albuterol qvar and will continue till its gone I never had a cough never had any breathing issues again I could feel it but was super minor today the 21st been fine for over a week and feel fine and would say for sure its gone

The only thing that started about the 12th 13th was a bit of a clear my throat thing that I am positive was just that lung tightness breaking free and getting out from the lung cocktail
again this was like a few times a day to clear my throat and no real issue but was there

So overall for me a few days of feeling soar/tired but again was so nill I have had colds that felt worse this was like I worked in the yard feeling more than soar !
The fever/temp never broke 101 never lasted more than a couple hours and was controlled by the nyquil one dose at bed one at wake I hate hate taking drugs if I do not need to so a few days and was done and the 2nd week that bit of lung tightness again very small but again not taking chances ! I know this is a real thing like the flu etc... things can sneak up and bite you ! so be honest with yourself and get a scrip if you have to !

I used to be a medic and worked in EMS and I do study the heck out of health and fitness etc... so pretty good on that side of things but did consult a doctor ! Again not a denier ! But a realist and this is real thanks China and our own mengele fauci

Side note on doc hahahah I do not have a set normal doc anymore I need to get one but this guy OH WOW I asked about ivermectin and I might as well have asked about killing puppies or something got the horrid lecture on that stuff is dangerous and not safe or approved for covid and it does nothing but can kill you etc..
then I got the get vaxed lecture to be safe in a few weeks etc... ? Was your typical no clue doc IMHO but was just a telemed call to get something for my lungs
but the push to get me vaxed was insane he would not let it go ! And kept trying to make me agree that its something we all need to do to be safe and the only way life will be normal etc. OH WOW to funny on that he was nice but a true leftist drank the kool-aid type I reckon !
He did say the albuterol and qvar cocktail is a thing that is common for lung issues with covid which makes since since its a common bronchitis thing localized steroids work in this case

I did wait a bit just to make sure nothing popped back up or so before writing this
but reckon good to go for a week plus now
Might try to get some lab work done in a few months for antibody check as I am my own lab experiment now

Kinda a relief to have this behind me now honestly I never wear a mask I shake hands and so on I do think this is a WHEN you get it more than IF and do think being in good shape is the most important thing for not only this but quality of life etc...

If you choose believe in the vax cool to like anything freedom and nobody should be against what you want to do with your body my wife got the Moderna which I am fine with she did her research and decided that was best for her and family history etc..
she is not a health freak like me I try to nudge but maybe one day she will be but she is pretty good about eating properly no sugars etc...

Nobody else got it in the house and I did stay home throught it all
