Well covid does affect everyone differently, like influenza. Before I start, I am much like buckeye, im guessing hes from ohio?, so am I. At least he can get ivermectin there.... cant find it in canada. I want to try it because I have heard people claim it has cleared up chronic ear infections. Maybe it has some kind of anti bacterial properties or something. But yeah I am also overweight, I have been carrying an extra 40 lbs pretty much my entire life, most people cant guess my weight, or my age correctly. With my health issues (kidney issues) ive gained some extra weight and im surprised I dont weigh more. I just try to listen to what my body tells me to do. For almost 40 I dont take any medications, and I aim to keep it that way. I want to lose weight and I was doing it by doing 24hr fasts, but I feel its dangerous to do when my phosphorous is still low without knowing why. I suspect its a kidney injury from a hypertensive injury because A.R.C.A. wanted to save a few bucks on the equipment. Its ok I guess, since the government of nova scotia told me refrigerant cant cause irregular heartbeat, I guess I have no choice to believe them. What a fucking bunch of losers.
The last time I had a bad flu was about 15 years ago, I felt very aware of how fat I was and remember feeling like I was suffocating. Its the lottery, my immune system took some time to generate the response and spread it and it was misery during that time. Once I recovered after a week it was business as normal.
But with omicron, almost same experience as buckeye. The initial infection didnt get me to bad, but whatever it does to the lungs is what got me. I suspect most of my problems stem from running out of phosphorous, so it may be worth it for Buckeye to get a blood test to see if that is contributing to his problems.
After a few days, I started having issues breathing, alot of mucus. Sounded exactly like COPD, and I know what that looks like from my uncle who smoked 10 packs a day of camels when they used to be a dollar. His lungs actually ended up recovering some fraction of ability a decade later, enough he didnt have to do oxygen anymore. What killed him was he decided to stop taking his heart medication cold turkey without weening himself off because he wanted to save a few dollars. Rip.
One night a few days after the initial infection, I literally woke up gasping for air, the air was going into my lungs, that wasnt my issue. My issue was the oxygen wasnt binding to the blood, it would take me several breaths to get caught up. Freaky ass shit. The next day I woke up I was hearing rock music, not just a faint echo like when I had musical ears from the hypertensive injury. But full blown what sounded like a frat house. I had no sweet clue what was happening. I actually told my partner I loved them in case it was the end. I ended up lightheaded all day and at one point I was standing in the doorway trying to cool off and the next thing I was waking up to my partner holding my head and calling 911.
They came out, my blood oxygen was 99%, my blood pressure was 115/60, my only guess is my body had to do an emergency pull from my bones, which explains the god damn neck pain thats been getting worse over the last year. They wanted me to go the hospital. I refused. If I thought they would actually help me, I would have no qualms with going but I felt like they were just going to ventilate me and destroy my kidneys with some kind of drug. Kinda hard to trust anyone after what the fuck they did to me.
I got up, they did some more checks and I zombied my ass to a bed and slept for a good 6 hours. Canadian healthcare can kill and if im going to die, id rather be in my own bed. I actually didnt eat for 3 days when I started to feel rough, and that most likely contributed to my phosphorous taking a dive.
My partner who is vaccinated got the same thing at the same time. Our experiences were very similar, except for that day I passed out and I was hearing music. When I went in a month later to get tested because I am hitting multiple markers for chronic kidney disease, thats when I discovered my phosphorous was low, severely low. Something that can be a fairly reliable marker for covid deaths on admission....
For a good month after covid, it was rough breathing. Influenza does the same thing, it opens you up to secondary infections. My diaphragm was weak, my sinus's were sore and clogged. But eventually I did recover. My other advice for Buckeye, do breathing exercises. Just like any other injury, you need to use your muscles afterwards. Just youtube deep breathing diaphragm to learn how to do it, its actually really simple. It helped me out alot.
I do worry about the future, these variants arent proably even natural, something tells me they were all made in a lab for this purpose. This virus was likely engineered, and if it was, there is no mistaking that for all intents and purposes, it is a weapon.
