Who needs a jab when you've already tested positive?

[Guest]

A pulse oximeter is an effective way to spot early signs of deterioration before you notice any worsening yourself.The fact that you're on steroids,even though probably not dexamethasone,may be a great help as prednisolone is a corticosteroid and works in an identical way.
When you get better you should deffo have your jab when offered it.
Meantime take it easy and enjoy the fuss.

Spot on Jon. Test every day temperature & oxygen levels plus blood pressure.

All the best Jim. Go for full jab sessions after. Antibodies & T Cells are boosted bettenwith vaccine than than the real thing.

Thanks for everyone's kind words, we're doing ok so far I guess, minor symptoms, and a low grade fever 99.8f, but my sever COPD condition is always a constant worry.
Just gotta get through day by day I guess, don't know what much else to say. The nights are the worst, and my whole respiratory system seems on fire at times
But I attribute that to the inhalers I must use and to hacking up what I can manage to get out. Just plain old soreness to be expected I guess.

I slept well, last night after juicing up good with my regular treatments, just an extra nebulizer treatment but that is just plain albuteral
so no biggie.
Woke up breathing ok this morning and am just following my regular COPD treatments plus finishing up on my antibiotic and steroid countdown.
Eating sucks because I can't taste anything but salt so it's oatmeal and scrambled eggs for a while.

We just last week laid down a beautiful hefer and I'm drooling for one of those wonderful steaks but it would be a waste right now
as I can't taste and basically have zero apatite, but I must put something in my stomach daily for nourishment and plenty of water.
Got some nice oranges for the vitamin C and I can taste sweet so that's good, also taking a vitamin D tablet as per docs advice.

So it's a wait and see game, just so much damn confusion about it all it can be very disheartening and nerve wracking not knot knowing
what to expect next.


Keep us in your prayers.

Jim.

Takes about 2 weeks to start feeling "Human" again........Hang in there, you'll be enjoying that prime slice of "Ribeye" soon. :thumb2: Rick H.

Stick with it Jim. Time is your ally here. As Rick says, the worst symptoms go off in about two weeks, but don’t rush it. I took about a month to get my sense of taste back, but my sense of smell is nowhere near as good as it was. I’d like one of those steaks though

Take care Jim, get well soon.

Thanks guys we'll get through this alright, I just feel bad for Mamma though, she don't deserve this.
But we are not suffering greatly, more like just a sore, miserable, congested muck.

Oh but to look forward to those steaks makes life worth fighting for!

I contracted it 4 months ago, hit me like a freight train, memory loss, loss of taste/smell, bed ridden, inability to fill my lungs so repeatedly leaning out of bedroom window to inhale colder air and so on.

Then 4-5 days later it left.

And I felt completely fine.

I've since had the astra jab and I'm walking over 10 miles a day at work with zero side effects.

Positive thinking and plenty of fluids is all I concentrated on.

Good luck!
