“Clinical for COVID-19”

@merpreb I do not have any symptoms and I do not use an inhaler. You must be mistaken. I've been staying at home since March 13, except for my daily walk, I've not been anywhere out of my house.

Thank you. Well, since there don’t seem to be any known therapeutics for at home use, we really didn’t discuss treatment. Based on my health profile and my symptoms she said she thought I would be okay, that days 5-9 seem to be the worse, and I was on day 9 with the visit. I use a neti pot and also saline nasal spray (nasal irrigation) to get relief from the pressure in the nose. Tylenol helps with the fever spikes and headache. The couple of times i tried to wear a bra, I found myself ripping it off because you already feel like there is a tight belt around you. Standing and lying down are more comfortable than sitting, particularly slouching, because airflow is better. When lying on your back, if you cross your arms up above your head on the pillow (not up in the air) it helps open airway. Unlike with other infections, my fever spikes tend to be in the morning, although I had a second one late yesterday afternoon. Drinking cold ice water helps because my mouth is always hot. Looking in the mirror does not help. The face looking back at me has glassy bloodshot eyes and dark circles below. My tree-filled back yard is my sanctuary. The fact that it is spring time helps because i can shuffle outside and smell my gardenias and confederate jasmine and watch everything in my vegetable garden in the sunny corner maturing and growing . I never lost ability to smell and taste.

I was sick in December, January and February. So, I had a doctor's appointment March 12 which is in the hospital. I did go to that appointment. That's the last place I have been. I have been hibernating. I watch a lot of Netflix. I read the Bible each day online. I am trying to read it all the way. I have never actually completed it but I do belong to a Bible study group. I think it's been 20 years or close. I don't work and have no children at home. My nose is blocked most of the time. I think I'm allergic to my dogs but I will not get rid of them. They are my companion dogs. I talk to them like they were a person sometimes. They love company but we never have any. My children rarely ever come to visit. I have a grandson who is on drugs. I love him dearly but when he comes to visit, I feed him and then he always asks for money. Never fails. I love this boy so very much. His mother passed at age 49 from drinking and maybe drugs. It breaks my heart. Maybe I shouldn't say all this but my dogs already know. This may be out of order. If so, I am sorry.

What kind of water do you use for the neti pot? Do you purchase distilled water? Do you boil water? I have a neti pot but have only used it once. I also have a squirt bottle I used once and it felt like I put water clear up to my brain. I couldn't stand that so I never used that again.

@woogie I’m just wondering why you were in the hospital December, January, and February. Do they think you had an early Coronavirus case? You must be a lot better now, thank heavens. If/when you use a neti pot, make sure you always us distilled water. Tap water puts lots of things in your head that you don’t want!
I’m glad to hear that you talk to your dogs! 🤗 I talk to mine too. Everyone I know talks to their dogs—were all stuck inside, so who else will we talk to!
