Yay PG. Glad you are about over it. The cough sucks and can drag on quite a while. Afterwards I felt like I was still in a brain fog at times. It was weird but went away at about 3 weeks afterwards.

It's the stupid tickly sensation that's maddening.
I've found the only thing helping that are Ricola. Halls cough drops only seem to worsen it once the menthol vapors hit the back of my throat.
I'm sure I had the brain fog the first couple of days. I just felt like I couldn't think or deal with anything.
Take care all of you.

Interesting info here.
Very accurate.


A recent survey from the ZOE Health Study found that these are the top 10 reported COVID symptoms in the last 30 days:

  • Sore throat
  • Runny nose
  • Blocked nose
  • Sneezing
  • Coughing without phlegm
  • Headache
  • Coughing with phlegm
  • Hoarse voice
  • Muscle aches and pains
  • Altered sense of smell
Notably absent from that list are fever and loss of taste and smell, which were earlier markers of the virus. These symptoms distinguished it from other viruses, such as the flu or a cold.

But what all of these symptoms have in common is that they were COVID-19 side effects since the start of the pandemic in March 2020.

Ross, I have a friend who purchased the olfactory kit to help with that.
It's several tubes of things similar to a Vick's inhaler.
You got the bad BAD covid.
She does have hers back a little.
Many of my residents who suffered the first hit almost 2 years ago still don't have much taste or smell to this day.
Bob, I thought I had the flu too.
I still have a weird sensation with not being able to smell certain things, but I can taste any foods I eat.
My thinking isn't as sharp as it was, but that comes in bouts at the strangest times.
Then again, I'm goofy anyway so ...🤔😂

This is good information!
A close friend of mine has over half of those symptoms and did test positive for covid.
I shared it with him and he was grateful.
Thanks

I had most of those symptoms and tested negative for Covid three times. It seems that I had a really, really bad cold.

On the other hand, both my S-I-Ls went on a bus tour up to the north-east and both caught Covid. The one that lives in Georgia isn't too bad. The one that lives not far from us was one sick little puppy. I thought that we were going to have to take her to the Emergency Dept but the fever broke after four days and now she only feels relatively crappy. She's a tough little bugger though. She drove herself from Georgia back to East Texas while suffering the full symptoms of Covid.

. . .
Ditto for me too. I keep testing negative for Covid. We have had several "super spreader" type events in the high schools, I've never tested positive, while others I know end up testing positive.

And most days of my life, due to various mild allergies, I have some degree or another of:
  • Runny nose
  • Blocked nose
  • Sneezing
And due to my Rheumatoid Arthritis I also live with almost daily:
  • Muscle aches and pains
And due to a APAP machine my morning includes:
  • Sore throat
And as a fencing coach who coaches in a loud environment, yelling at teenagers, I have a daily:
  • Sore throat
  • Hoarse voice

Much the same here. I thought it was the flu when I got it last Sept. I didn't loose taste but taste was off. Things just didn't taste right. And the brain fog lasted longer than the cough. 4 weeks or so. I didn't notice the brain fog until I was mostly over Covid.

I developed all of these symptoms a little over a week ago. I used the gubmit iHealth home tests (made in China) 4x and they all came back negative. Then, I lost my sense of taste a couple of days ago and used the Roche test. Instant positive. Thnaks to those stupid shitty iHealth tests, I lost out on getting Paxlovid. The wife got Paxlovid and she was done with symptoms in 4 days after the antiviral. I'm still dealing with congestion and cough, but I'm certainly on the uptick.

Gary the rumble link was blocked for me. Malware I'll guess.

Is this the same video?

This podcast between Joe Rogan and Bret Weinstein is THE MOST EYE-OPENING thing I have heard regarding Covid vaccines. I highly encourage you to spend the 2 hours and give it a listen. The facts presented blew me away, and made me grateful to have refused the vaccines…

Had my doctor advised getting the jab before I ever had COVIOD, I may well have done so. Fortunately, I suffered the disease and determined I had natural immunity. Therefore, I didn't need the shot.
Later, anecdotal evidence emerged that post COVID sufferer's had complications after receiving the shot. So again I had reason not to do it.
Later, when the Gubmint mandated it, I knew I would refuse on general principles.

It seems I have this crazy concept that the Government does not tell us what to do. We are supposed to be telling them.

I feel like a fool.
My logic was how can I believe some stuff on social media over what multiple medical doctors are saying? The doctors know best. I'm not going to believe a stranger on social media saying stuff about the shot.
Boy, was I wrong.
I got the first two shows, and then I got the booster last June.
At the end of September I got a horrible case of the dreaded virus.
I also have a minor case of vertigo. I can deal with it but I never had it before.
A friend who built my shed was coming back to do more work and apologized for taking so long to get back to me because he had vertigo. A bad case. He can not climb ladders, and that is what he does for work. I told him I've had a bit of vertigo myself. He asked if I'd had the shots. I told him. He said he read that many who got the shots are now plagued with vertigo. No clue if that is accurate or not.

So frustrating that we can no longer trust our medical community to give us the right information, key information. They play into the pockets of the politicians. :bonk:

You could have been affected worse had you not had the vaccination.

I read somewhere that genetic factors play a role in the symptom severity of COVID. Wish I could post a link!

I feel we also dismiss things such as the impact of nutritional deficiencies and fitness and only consider underlying conditions and age

I remember hearing officialdom drone on and on with regard to this point. Problem is, there is NO WAY to make this claim - it’s unverifiable at best, flat out disingenuous at worst.

True. It may be the case that covid strains got weaker

Correlation != Causation as there are always third party factors

No question the covid strains are getting weaker.

Also no question that many of the weak and elderly have already died off, either due to the more virulent strains or due to age or other diseases. But much of the low hanging fruit has been wiped out.

I think, at least I hope, that the Covid vaccines are a thing of the past for me (because I am immunosuppressed and compromised) because it definitely looks like the strains are weaker.

Not sure how you can say this. As we age, we get weaker and people can develop conditions such as cancer throughout their life and face chemotherapy which suppresses the immune system
 
Actually you may have a point. Natural immunity from the infection means we evolve to survive with the infectipn so yes, the vulnerable have already been wiped out. I can tell you for a fact that it’s a thing as my infections have been milder each time I had it.

After seeing the Sudden Death evidence people are bringing up I'm being more concerned about the side affects of the shots I got already and thinking twice or more about getting any more.
