I think I got it. (COVID-19) 2
#26728549 - 06/08/20 10:00 AM (3 years, 7 months ago) |

For some days I felt a little sneezy. I wrote it down to being indoors so much.
Today it was worse, and I had an occasional heart wobble, so I decided to take a little bike ride to get some exercise in.
Contrary to all my experience so far, I came out feeling absolutely worse than I did before exercising.
There is this -ominous- feeling in the chest, a tendency to cough, I was bronchitis-like wheezing for minutes, there is snot in my cavities, I got a headache, a fee;ling of bone/joint pain, general malaise, my hole chest cavity feels mildly but importantly FUCKED.
And there I am with my morbid obesity, with my smoked through lungs and my heart disease.
If I got it, and I think I got it, I'm getting a spin of the russian roulette, its gonna be 1 in 6 I die, with my combination of severe comorbidities.
Setting the wheels in motion to ride this out.
elderberry juice with vitamin C down the hatch, writing coordinating emails, arranging to get tested.. Telling you guys whats up 
Pray em if you got em, after my aunt (who died), I'm the second with COVID19 in the family, it seems.
Wish me luck.

I hope I -DO- have it and that it blows over with mild-to-moderate disease and no aftereffects like fucked lungs.
Either way, If I got it I'll be on the other side of the fence in a month, be it Immunity or Heaven.

Isolating myself almost completely.
Not enough.

My grandmother is complications galore(heart failure, kidney failure, copd, dementia, fuck ton of other things in addition to being quite old) and she got an extremely mild, mostly asymptomatic case.
I think it's years of vitamin D supplements that helped her honestly . Her O2 also got down to 91 and she required supplemental oxygen at some point, but they intervened very quickly and it bounced right back up to 96-98 after a day or so on o2. Definitely call the doc, but you've got this. I know it's scary but the odds are still in your favor, you take good care of yourself and get yourself looked at by healthcare professionals and there is a still a good chance that this thing could be a mild cold for you.
There are also some breathing exercises that are being recommended by respiratory therapists.
https://www.lung.org/lung-health-diseases/wellness/breathing-exercises
The most important thing is to stay calm. Anxiety will mess you up physically and impede your recovery time. Chug water and stay hydrated, rest, but do try and move around a little bit each day to help mitigate the risk of clotting. I'm sure that your doctor will do a full blood workup if you're positive and there are tests they can run to help determine if you need a prophylactic anticoagulant.

Kick this stupid things ass.
edit:
Oh btw my grandmother was treated with Vitamin C, Zinc, and a prophylactic antibiotic to prevent pneumonia(she's extremely prone to it) - it starts with an A and I cannot for the life of my remember which one it was.

Just remember, even if you're certain there's still many strains with varying degrees of severity, let alone the odds before that. So let's just assume you're odds are better than 1 in 6. Get yourself tested and try not to stress because that will just make it worse. Best thing you can do at this point is just relax and take care of yourself. Feel better dude

Do you not have testing centers nearby?
I mean being that you're high risk with your heart troubles I would not assume that it's COVID over something else.

I don't think it's a good idea to assume that this is a virus over a pulmonary disorder.

I think in the NL and other nearby countries(I know Germany for sure does this) sends doctors to COVID patient's houses in full hazmat to avoid bringing the milder patients anywhere near the hospitals. Pretty cool. I imagine they do a lot of tests that way as well.
