Well, I have done it again. I did not follow my own advice! I left last Tuesday for Tupelo to spend the day with my family. I had been very careful where Covid was concerned. I was wearing my mask, using my nose cream and spraying my body with Thieves spray. I had spoken with my sister. She mentioned that they had been around some friends who had Covid but that they were fine. And time had passed. I just was not thinking and took no percautions. We spent the day together then we came home. Well imagine my surprise when I woke up on Wedensday totally sick. I never get the flu but I had all the symptoms of it. I immediately took a Covid test and it was negative. I called my doctor and she said I had some type of virus. I did have a low grade fever of 100.4. She felt that if I had the flu, my fever would have been higher. I did have a steroid pack and she told me to start taking it. It helps with my asthma. Well, I had aches and pains with a cough. So I asked Glenn to go to the store and pick up some Theraflu. I thought if I take it and get better, then I must have the flu. Well I went to bed that night at 9 p.m. I woke up at 4 a.m. wet from sweat. I had sweated my fever away. By the next afternoon my fever was normal and I was on the mend. This was Thursday. Friday I still had a cough but was doing better. Then my sister called to tell me my brother-in-law had Covid. My doctor had told me to test myself again on Friday. So I did and it was positive. Glenn tested positve also. Saturday my stepmother tested positive. Ugh! But,there is more......
I called my doctor and she wanted me to take Paklovid. This drug actually would react to my blood pressure medicine so she called me in another medication. Meanwhile, Glenn's doctor told him he could not take antivirals becasue of his cirrosis. Come to find out Paklovid is on backorder with all Publix, Walgreens and many Walmart pharmacies. But I was able to find the alternative that my doctor wanted me to take. It took all day Friday to find it. Guess what? That drug was $307. I said no! So I did some research and came up with a plan. Thank goodness for essential oils. Covid is a flu and I started taking the F-bomb (flu bomb) 3 times a day and kept taking Theraflu at night.Theraflu really did help me sleep. I rarely use over the counter products but decided in this situation that it helped. The CBD Soothe has been a life saver for me. It has worked well with my cough.
Everyone keeps saying this Covid is contagious. I think they are right. And many people who have had Covid are getting this also. You can get Covid twice. Be aware, Paxlovid is on backorder all over the U.S. My stepmother could not get it. If you get this strain of Covid I highly recommend Theraflu and essential oils. If you would like the F-bomb recipe just email me. Wear your nose cream and mask. Use Thieves spray or Thieves oil. Follow my advice.....I wish I had. More to come.....
