I'm on day 6 with covid confirmed today. It's been painful, super fatigue, body aches, mucus, diarrhea, knife jabbing heachaches every couple seconds (thankfully it slowed down now) and very hard to sleep. Mornings are the worst, then gets better during the day, but by night time gets bad. Then next morning it repeats all over again. Would never wish this on my worst enemies. 🙏
Managed to dodge Covid for 2 1/2 years. I am fully vaccinated and have 2 boosters. Covid started 6 days ago with a bout of nausea/vomiting 🤢 Sore ribs, extreme fatigue, headache, light headed, sinus congestion, but no fever at all. I took Mucinex every 4 hours which helped alot. Eating and drinking healthy foods and getting lots of sleep. UPDATE: I hope everyone who responded in the comments is on the mend from Covid. It took some time but I recovered without going to the hospital. 🙏 Stay safe and take care of yourselves !
Yep. Dodged it for the same time. Just got it. Luckily my symptoms are incredibly mild however the loss of taste and smell gave me a panic attack for the first time in like 10 years. It came on so fast and was jarring. Even the air outside that I was breathing was just so bland. I can usually smell the grass and beautiful flowers. The water I drink somehow tastes bland lol. Everything else was luckily fine though it’s mostly just anxiety of having it that’s really made me shook. Hope you get help and get well!
I was really sick with Covid for three weeks this October. I do not take any medication so I asked my doctor to order me in-home oxygen, i ordered pulse ox, I drank a lot of fluids, and took other natural supplements. I think the best thing I did was get the in-home oxygen. It really helped me I’m 68 years old and was very very ill with Covid. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. I just started driving my car this past week. Thank you for the information.
I’m glad to hear you’re doing better. I’m dealing with Covid now, since December 18, with positive tests on December 20th and 23rd. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be getting better. I’m currently being treated for both pneumonia and bronchitis. Can I ask, why did you need in home oxygen?
I hope you’re doing better now. 😢 I got COVID on Friday last week. I honestly can say along with the other commenter that I would never wish this on anyone.
I rarely comment on videos, but I really wanted to let you know how thankful I am that you put this out. I have Covid-19 right now and couldn’t find a comprehensive informative until I came across yours. Especially during a time when your feeling under the weather, this guide is extremely helpful and it’s so kind of you to put that much care in creating it. You are helping a lot of people and should be very proud of yourself. Thank you so much!
The hardest part of COVID for me is being in isolation from my wife and 6 year-old. So far my symptoms are mild but my heart is breaking for their touch.
Thank you so much for this! Currently dealing with Covid after being safe all this time. I'm vaccinated (not boosted), and even still, this is a miserable thing. Just about every single symptom is cycling through. Can't smell or taste anything (could be the horrible congestion though). To me, the cough is the worst. I can tell it's improving, but every day feels like an eternity. To anyone who says this is nothing more than a bad cold or flu... they couldn't be more wrong. It's terrible, and I can't imagine having had this in the early days.
This is summer 2024 as I am commenting... I caught COVID at my 90 year old mother's funeral. I am 60 years old and overweight. Fever, body aches, lost my sense of smell. VERY SICK for about 10 days. Headache like a hatchet 🪓 stuck in my skull!!! I thank you for your video.
I just caught mines last week, day 6 and it's still going. But thankfully the knife jabbering heachaches slowed down. That was the worst part. Hope we both heal asap 🙏
@@bamachic3084 PRAYERS 🙏 I also ended up going to the doctor about 3 weeks after testing positive. She took a chest X-ray which was clear but because my white blood count was high she prescribed an antibiotic. It is now August 31 and I am starting to go for walks outdoors. I am STILL tired and take a nap when I want.
I was on week 5 of recovering from double pneumonia and was starting to improve and go for little walks, then I suddenly started feeling worse than ever and lost my appetite. I talked to the GP on the phone and she asked me to go to the surgery to listen to my chest. I was then sent to a&e and was kept in overnight for fluids and to monitor my low blood pressure. They tested me for COVID and I was positive. I'm home now and now know that my husband has tested positive too although he doesn't have symptoms. The hardest thing is the loss of appetite as I have already lost 3kg with the pneumonia. The video was very helpful, thanks
This is the second time I’ve caught Covid. I’m fully vaccinated and boosted too. It’s just mild covid the second time. I started with haziness and sore throat, then a little dry cough and runny nose. No fever whatsoever. I’ve been drinking hot green tea with Lemon and honey constantly. Drinking water too! During the day my condition is normal like I’ve gotten better. Night time I always have stuffy nose and congestion, dry cough. I’m fighting this as best I can trust me. Covid sucks!
I'm doubly vaxxed and doubly boosted, a frontline worker and Covid only just found me. I'm on Day 6 and have a rather severe case as a result of having asthma. I've had all the typical symptoms, fever, sinus pain, chills, body aches, sore throat, persistant cough, no smell or taste, but it's the headache, fatigue, and back/lung pain that that is affecting me the most. And the isolation too,. ..I've managed to keep the other 3 people in my house testing negative, but it's hard being alone. Your video is a great help, thank you for sharing.
I hope you feel much better. I also tested positive yesterday. I'm too suffering with sinuses and it's terrible. This is my second time getting it every time I get it, it's my sinuses.
i honestly hate covid.. 3 years we avoided it. 3 years!! then my brother goes out with no masks and goes in busy places. i’m 14 years old and i’m only on day 2 and i honestly it’s almost impossible to go through with it. i’ve been homeschooled for the 3 years and that was to just avoid it as much as possible. i’ve got a ridiculously dry and sore throat with red tonsils, get dizzy and headaches when i stand up, no energy, migraines, constant chest feeling, can’t breathe deep without coughing, can’t talk without sand paper feeling and breath, brain fog, 36.8 temperature and a high heart rate. i’m fed up on day 2. i just wish people would care for eachother and take precautions…
@@SunnyUBC I’m sorry to hear that you’ve currently got it, it’s a horrible thing to have. I hope you recover quickly. I don’t understand how people think it’s gone? and the long term effect it can have is just sad.
@@withinocean hey man, sorry to bare bad news but I had it for about 12 days and still felt off for a few days after testing negative. All bodies react differently and it depends on the mutation you have though. Hopefully yours will go quickly but very unlikely it will. If you can reschedule the interview, it’ll be safer and more beneficial for you and your interviewer. If not, best of luck for it! Hope covid sods off for you soon tho :)
I am a retired nurse practitioner in the US. I have despaired watching our government give out useless information on how to cope with Covid outpatient. Basically stay away from people until you turn blue, then report to the hospital so we can slap you on a ventilator to finish you off. This video is no nonsense and very practical. It starts off with reassuring the listener and giving us step by step guidance and the thumbnails allow us to skip to an area of concern. Thank you Doctor, You are in my prayers.
Your sources were your problem. Ventilator for patients with low oxygen levels and probably had chronic illness. Obesity, heart disease high blood pressure contributed to finishing them off not hospitals.
I'm covid positive and my ears really hurt. I geuss this is common symptom of Covid 19 ? I took the nasal steroid but it's not stopping the severe pain. Tylenol works but I'm worried about my liver. I know 3 grams is the total per day. Paxlovid may cause rebound symptoms ? Whoever made this virus really was arrogant.
My partner tested positive today. I immediately gave your spreadsheet along with an oxymater and a thermometer to my partner. I prepared everything from vitamin D to oxymeter in advance just in case we got Covid, but your advice becomes even more valuable when the reality of Covid hit my family. My oxygen level is 99%, but my partner got 95%. It is very reassuring for caregivers to know the threshold when we need to go to a hospital. This video is not only helpful for a patient, but also caregivers. Thank you for your great advice!
@@AbrahamThePharmacist Hey I'm in America just got it pastvfew days but didn't sleep well last night and my hearts vesting faster like 120 to 133 with my fever yhr doc and pharmacy said this is normal. I have a heart defect small hole but never caused issues and I have bad anxiety disorder so I'm scared of the faster heart rate like I'm anxious with the fever and the cough which increases when I cough the pharmacist days its normal and happened to her. Having trouble sleeping which makes me feel.worse and more anxious faster heart beat please help should I call 911? I'm 39 for the record. How many days does it take to recover
A really great video Abraham, very, very informative indeed. Hubby and I had Covid in January 2020 and it was vile, I would never wish it on anyone! However, our daughter, her husband and children all had it 3 weeks ago and quickly recovered, even the 12 month old! Your loved ones must be so very proud of you, you’re so very thoughtful and that thoughtfulness is appreciated so very much by us all that subscribe to your channel. Bless you
Thank you! I needed to hear a medical professional tell me that we are treating our symptoms as best we can at home and when to seek help. You also helped my family realize that certain steps are necessary . 🙏🏽☺️
I got the digestive symptoms. No respiratory symptoms, lost smell and taste. Fever 2 days. Still weak but improving daily. Will never blow off digestive symptoms again. No joke
THIS IS THE BEST! He covers all the basics and how to know WHEN to seek medical attention. Love the idea of using the spreadsheet to track times you take your temp/BP/medications and what the readings were. That is something the doctor will want to see as it plots your progress. Excellent job on this Video!
Covid positive 9 days ago. This video, accidentally came into view, is the best reassurance on coping/treating at home. Couldn’t get in to see doctor but went to a Nurse Practitioner. Doing well but this is a video done so well, Thank you! Subscribing!
I am currently 6 days positive and the fatigue and head/body aches are by FAR my most bothersome symptoms. I have a cough, congestion, low grade fever as expected but I feel as if my body is made of lead and just getting to the bathroom and feeding my cat is utterly exhausting. I hope this improves significantly and quickly, this could not have happened at a worse time financially for me to be out of work😔
Please let your local Social Services office know if you need help with food, housing and energy. Don't be too proud when you need it. That's what it's there for. Hope you are well now.
I started having the symptoms a day and half ago and this morning I will get the rapid test to see if I’m positive. It definitely feels like I have it. The sad thing is I just got into a car accident and this just makes my situation worse. The video has really helped me bring out my old healthcare provider instincts and go back to basics: monitoring vitals and look out for any change in condition. It’s 2:33 am and I’ve been awake since 11:40 due to my congested nose and discomfort making me unable to sleep. This video has helped significantly within the last 20 min I watched it. Thank you for this video and I will absolutely share it to anyone who needs it.
First symptoms showed up two to three days ago. The first night was insane. I had a massive headache, threw up, and a fever. The second was more tolerable. I tested positive using two different at home tests. Today, I woke up feeling much better but still have this nasty cough and some flem. My doc says I should be over it in 5 to 7 days so I am hoping for that. Thanks for the great information, this was extremely helpful!
I had 3 vaccines and still got it. Muscle and bone ache, headache, weakness, cough. Staying in bed. Literally, opened a window and felt easier to breathe. Have put extra pillow. Having soup and drinks with honey. Chills come when I stand up. Tickling in nose and chest. Thanks for all advices, especially about body position and breathing. Wish everyone easy recovery. My brother recommended garlic as well.
@Seth Rosen I didn’t test after 10 days.LF tests are based on antibodies, so you can test positive after a vaccine and after illness for a very long time, I would suggest.
I came down with Covid 2 weeks ago & it was terrible. The fatigue was off the charts. I have had 3 Covid shots & I wonder if I had not had the shots I probably would have died. Anyway, just wanted to leave a tip about if you are having trouble eating, I had a bag of banana popsicles in the freezer & eating & sucking on these popcicles was a life saver. It was the only food I could tolerate and they were very refreshing & helped alot with nausea also. I'm going to keep popcicles on hand they help so well. I had a 103.4 temperature & they also cooled me down. Hope that helps someone
@@sammie4695 Thanks. Thats exactly what I've been doing today. The icepack on the back of my neck definitely helped. I can tell tomorrow my dominant symptom is going tobe the sore throat. I just took a dose of Nyquil, and swallowing that stuff down was reminiscent of rubbing alcohol on an open cut. 😑 This virus definitely "lives up to the hype". Hopefully its all over soon.
Thank you not only have covid but I'm. Fighting pancreatic cancer stage 4 and I'm. Taking a new cancer treatment To help my fellow man. And I actually feel quite optimistic not feeling to bad just tired allot slept alot
I had 2 vaccines and 2 boosters and still got COVID I was able to avoid it for almost 2yrs, turned positive 3 days ago, exactly 3 days after I had my 2nd booster😭😭
Oh gosh currently with Covid right now but pretty much over all the it but still feel weak and keep getting hot and have a lingering cough …hope you feel better
@@LoveIsInTheHouse thank God I got over it after 6 days, had slight fever and stuffy nose. Developed severe cough but kept on drinking hot lemon tea and boiled fresh oregano leaves squeezed an drink the juice at least 2x a day better than any cough syrup and after a week totally gone. Praying for your fast recovery too. Thank u 🙏 Jesus
@@finacole8744 oh yeah I had the same thing with the fever and cough and a sore throat that felt like it was on fire so I made a ginger, lemon, honey and cinnamon stick concoction that really helped then I had to gargle with salt water it finally went away after 3 days.. this Covid stuff is awful stuff for sure but now I have a lingering head cold with a slight cough and head congestion.. but am getting better..
Same here, I've never been vaccinated and almost always wear a mask indoors. This is day 7, and the fever lasted almost 3 days. Now I'm dealing with congestion and a light cough as well as fatigue. Every day I've felt better. Thanks for your video. I'm definitely going to start sitting up more and doing the breathing exercises.
I just tested positive today. Fully vaccinated. My symptoms I guess are considered mild. First two days were sore throat, headache, chills, and warm temperatures but no fever. I feel like it is bouncing around in my chest, belly, and back. I literally feel it moving through my system. Has anyone experienced this?
I have Covid now and I got it from a cruise. Been feeling horrible, went to doctor not knowing I had Covid and they gave me a steroid, antibiotic and cough medicine. Then a day later I tested positive. It’s been over a week and my head just feels so stuffed up. I’m so tired of being sick already. Thanks for the tips.
Day 4th here with CoVid. I too had the worse head cold/stuffiness - made me have pain in head, ears, face . Zyrtec actually helped me with all those symptoms.
I caught it when I got back from Greece last week, it is now day 2 and I feel ok, symptoms are mild but still horrible! I’ve been drinking lots of water and green tea with Manuka honey. Thank you for these tips!
Thank you for your thoughtful work and the spread sheet. Just got a positive test result and was grateful for your insight and look forward to following your recommendations and a full recovery in God’s care and timing. May you be protected and blessed as you take care of your patients.
Hi, I tested + 5 days ago. Have worked in our Covid ICU since the beginning. Over 2 years, never caught it. Phizer vaccine I believe has helped. I'm 62 and diabetic. My Doctor prescribed Paxlovid, which seems to be doing its job. My symptoms started with a light sore throat, and mild malaise in the late afternoon, at work. Called in sick for the next day, and felt pretty horrible. achy all over, no fever. No headaches, but strong malaise. Stuffy nose, and weakness. Got tested on day 2, Very positive they said. Days 3 and 4, weak, tired. Congested, Never lost taste or smell, Today is day 5. I havent had any chest congestion, I feel considerably better, mostly just weak when up around the house, still some aches. Still slightly congested. I think I'm getting off easy, and feel blessed. Maybe the fact that even at 62, im pretty healthy except for the diabetes, I work full time still,, and when im not working im very active, on the go, maybe that has helped also. Thanks for the video. Hope everyone here is doing well and back to normal.
Your video is pragmatic, Abraham, Thank you! Monitoring and recording my vitals and other essential details at regular intervals, like a practitioner would do, and looking for" trends" helped me recognize my progress objectively. You placed me in the right frame of mind to handle my own at-home Covid recovery "journey" calmly. As I saw improvement, I became hopeful. Knowing the numbers of concern for BP, O2, pulse, temp., are in essence, truly vital. You taught me when to check again... "an hour later", and provided me much more invaluable info., and you definitely "took the stress out of not knowing what to do" at home. I am a double vaccinated, boosted retired teacher, here in the USA, aged 61, and on the road to recovery. Thank you again!
I can not find your link to the template in the comments. Only top comments or newest comments show up for me. Could you post it in a reply to me. Thanks so much!!! Your video is very helpful.
I tested positive for the very first time on Thursday evening 21st July 2022. I believe my symptoms started on Tuesday 19th July which involved a very small but noticeable scratchy throat right in the centre, not sore, just scratchy. Didn't think much of it and went to bed. Woke up on Wednesday 20th July, aches and pains all over my body and such a dizzy head. My body was sore from the shower. I continued on with my day and worked as I believed it may have just been a small virus I picked up or something, throughout the day i notcied i had a high temperature. Got home after work and headed straight to bed as I was exhausted. 12 hours of sleep and during that sleep I sweated so much, my pillow and duvets were soaking. Woke up on Thursday morning feeling a little better, less aches and pains, off to work and noticed I was just generally feeling bleh and really fatigued. I tested on Thursday evening and positive right away with such a thick strong line on the LFT. Have been isolating in the spare bedroom to try and prevent my partner catching it. I generally just felt very fatigued over the weekend and slept alot. Tuesday morning 26th July 2022 I'm still testing positive, evening though the line is so very faint, unfortunately, still a positive reading. Fingers crossed I'll be clear tomorrow. This has given me a lot more covid sense now, as I did get very complacent. I believe I contracted Covid from Glasgow Central Train Station as I was working in that property on Friday 15th July 2022. Hope all whom have contracted this make a speedy recovery 🙏.
I just tested positive today July 28, 2022. My son tested positive Tuesday July 26th. He’s a home health nurse and is very careful always wears a mask. My three younger children are having symptoms. I have a weakened immune system so I took all the vaccines and still got sick. I am so upset! I feel absolutely terrible. I have never felt anything like this before.
@@pigloveandhugs Sorry to hear you got to it Linda. I know when you have it, it literally feels like you will never recover. As the days go on, you'll have times when you're feeling better and then you'll feel rubbish. This will happen a few times throughout the day. But I guarantee you, it will end. That was me negative after 9 days and back to normal activities and feeling like myself again. Throughout the next few days you'll get so tried, doing the smallest of things and can even make you feel nausea. My recommendation is rest rest rest and sleep it off if you can. You'll improve soon don't worry. Anything else you need to know just ask :)
Tested positive yesterday. I feel awful but also lucky - I can walk, eat, drive dog to daycare - so I can only imagine how awful this is for many who have it worse. My only concern is the chest pain. Excellent video.
Thank you so much, Abraham. On Day 3 of my first bout with Covid and so far am thankful for what appears to be a mild case, so really appreciated the info, especially about not laying around all day if you don’t feel tired and to sit up straight and breathe!👍
Love how you Call Cough Drops....Cough SWEETS...i'm definately going to pass that one along...Also great Video...Great Speaker...Clear & Very Knowledgable...Thank You!
I'm grateful listening your very informative tips how to treat at home of mild covid symptoms. Following your advice to drinks lots fluids with lemon honey and I add ginger, my sore throat is gone. I take Tylenol and resting/sleeping with 45 degrees and it's really helps. Thank you. God bless. Stay safe and healthy 🙏
THANK YOU, THANK YOU---We have been suffering for over a week now..Me severe,--- my wife is great at dealing with this horrible virus and helping me..I'm 81, retired Fireman (always healthy) but this has taken me down..I'm in California..We just did a 16 day cruise to Hawaii..I could see people getting ill on the ship..The ship was not equipped to deal with Covid..The cruise ships have opened up cruising TOO early..People will get sick and some will die..It is not worth it..
I tested positive last night for the first time, but I've been really sick since Wednesday. My mother, who has end stage COPD, lives with me as I am her caretaker and I am terrified she's going to catch this. She's 73 and if she does, that's the end of her. On my end, this experience has been an entire roller coaster ride. Yesterday, I slept nearly 20 hours. I slept about 16 today. No fever today, no projectile vomiting either. Congestion on and off. I had 3 vaccines, so I'm hoping this eases up and goes away very, very soon. I'm mostly hoping that my mom doesn't catch this, I'm really scared for her. I've done everything in my power the last 2 and a half years to keep this away from her, I even worked through the shut down because I was 'essential' [factory worker, gag] and I didn't catch it. I'm really disappointed in myself that somehow, I let myself slip.
@Rolling Withthepunches Thank you very much. She did get it, and she needs to be in the hospital. She won't go though, she's very sick but she refuses to go to the hospital. I have a nurse coming out today to assess her and I am hoping she can be convinced to allow me to call 911 to take her. Thank you so much for your kind words.
@@pamelaboisvert8976 Thank you so much. My worst fear came true and she did catch it and she passed away from it last Sunday. I'm absolutely devastated.
@@mattmatical2235 Thank you so much. I really don't know how to live without her, I've taken care of her so long. The house is very quiet now. They told me she wasn't going to die, they were going to move her from the ICU on the 12th. I tested negative and went to the hospital and got to talk to her, she sounded great. I told her I'd come see her in the morning and bring her a Coke. Then at 1 am I got a call that her oxygen had dropped to 85% and they had to intubate her. On the 14th I had to make the decision to take her off of life support, and on the 18th she passed. Her covid turned into sepsis and went into her already really damaged lungs. I feel awful.
The best way to understand the myriad of advice about COVID-19 and it's flavors is to watch this video. I live in the US and found this very helpful. Well done.
This is so very helpful! Up to date on vaccines. I am on the end of the first week of Covid and even though I am under the care of a physician, they were not very informative in terms of what to expect, and how to treat it at home. To know to sit upright, as opposed to laying down is a big deal. To know that an open window to promote airflow. None of this was mentioned. Thank you for this video. I think that noting your statistics is important. I wish I had done this sooner. I do know to hydrate from a fever which I’ve been doing. Didn’t know oxygen saturation was so important I have no way of monitoring that. Such good information. Thank you.
I recently tested + of COVID. I only had common cold as a symptoms I did not had any fever, muscle pain, loss of smell and taste as anybody would experience when they tested positive. I'm currently recovering will finish my isolation tomorrow. Completed my vaccines and 1 booster. Keep safe and healthy guys 😊
@@jasssyy__ after 5days I actually tested negative. A big factor maybe is that I always exercise early in the morning exposed on the sun as I am a competitive cyclist. Maybe my active lifestyle has helped me recover pretty quick
Very informational. I used the breathing technique but I would have to go outside and take deep breaths in and slowly blow out For a good half an hour until I felt Normal. Sending this info now to partner who just tested positive, and symptoms. Oregon.USA. THANKS 😊
Got covid for the first time a week ago. The coughing is just the worst. I can only breathe super shallowly, because if I try to breathe deeply, I start wheezing. I have infection asthma, which doesn't help with this. I can barely eat or drink, so I'm severely dehydrated, since I throw everything I eat or drink up. I'm not coughing blood, but when I cough, I can taste blood. I have no energy, but since I live alone, without electrical heating, I need to carry firewood inside from my barn and keep the fire going on.
@@d.i.a.5392 I'm doing slightly better now, thanks!! I have my mom and her wife that help me every now and then, but they also have covid, so they can't come over here!
Thank you for making this video. I'm traveling in Central America and caught covid on the flight. Trying to self isolate and get sufficient nutritious food is a nightmare. After 5 days my fever and the headache are gone, the cough is diminishing and the sore throat is much less painful. Staying cool involves using airco, which dries the air but I'm staying well hydrated by drinking at least 3 litres of water a day. I haven't felt so unwell since having dengue fever nearly 20 years ago. 😢
Thanks for this vid. I’m home on an oxygen mask after being in hsp with pnemonitis covid pneumonia and have been searching for ways to heal the breathlessness. I appreciated your video, gave some information that was helpful. Docs say I have to be patient to see if my lungs will lose the consolidation caused by covid. I remain positive that my lungs will be healed.
Just done my test today and tested positive. Was feeling awful last couple of days thanks so much for this video… to the point and hasn’t got medical jargon I don’t understand. Thank you ☺️
I continue to refer back to this video as my husband and I go through colds and viruses fully vaccinated and boosted and without testing positive for Covid. Thank you for this very helpful video.
Thanks for putting this video together. It was reassuring to read about ringing for an ambulance if you should faint which I did and a friend rang them. Can’t fault the care and thorough checks but felt I was wasting there time, which was wrong of me to feel that way after listening to this video. After the checks they slowly got me up on my feet monitoring my blood pressure so this video has been spot on. This is day five since testing positive and still feel quite weak which is hardly surprising due to lack of appetite. Hopefully that will improve because I’ve not really eaten much since Monday evening, 5 days ago. Just hoping I feel more up to doing the things I enjoy so trying to remain positive through the process of recovering.
I can't find anything about just getting a negative test faster. I don't care about symptoms because I feel fine, but I can't go back to school until I get a negative test.
Glad I found this! I'm going to buy one of those oxygen things and follow your advice! I've made it all the way until now not catching Covid. I've masked in public indoor spaces since 2020 and went out once without one and here I am. I knew I'd get it sooner or later but thought I'd be safer this time of year. I've lost three family members to Covid and lost my last Christmas with my dad who had cancer and caught Covid on Christmas. He survived but had severe breathing problems after and died a few months later. My Dad was the main reason I was so careful but after experiencing this, I should take care of myself too. Covid is miserable, especially with having asthma. I wish people would think about other people and at least mask or stay home if they have symptoms. There are a lot of us with sick family or health conditions like asthma. I'm not sure why people have such an issue with masks.
Thank you so much for sharing your great video. My husband and I along with our 22 yr old son who has Down Syndrome all contracted Covid just recently. I was hoping we would all escape this pandemic especially since we have tried so hard to avoid getting it and spreading it… being super conscientious and cautious! I’m grateful we were able to get vaccinated pretty early on as well as get our boosters. I really don’t think we’d be doing as well as we are and yet we still got pretty sick. Anyhow, your video is so helpful. I can’t thank you enough. I’m going to be sure to look for your new ones and also pass them along to anyone who needs some help as I have. God bless you! Sincerely, Lori from Bend, Oregon
My son who has DS is 33 and I (65 ) all vaccinated got covid 10 days ago, he recovered within a week and really just had a sore throat for 4 days and a bit of a cough, I had like a really bad cold , once I tested negative I went back to riding my horses and still coughing and with a streaming nose feel like I've been hit by a train, so exhausted, my son is back at work and in a dance class right at this moment, glad you all did ok.
Thanks for this helpful information and advise. I just tested positive today, Monday, August 7, 2023. You may have just saved my life. Wishing you well.
Tested positive the other day, had a fever of 40.2c and a terrible headache. Now got a mild fever and shortness of breath and I’m hoping I can get better soon so I can get back to work.
My partner and I have had it a few days now not doing too bad but it’s good to hear your advice getting an oxygen monitor tomorrow I am a HCA so I am keen to have data for my health to show a doctor if needed great video and thanks 🙏
I have avoided COVID all this time and finally got it after my daughter brought it home from school. We have gotten the two vaccines . I got body pains and extreme weakness the first two days then bad congestion and very mild cough. It’s been a week and I still feel fluish on n off and I just started having digestion issues. My youngest did better and has had a pesky cough for the past maybe 2 weeks but mild, no other symptoms. My other daughter had back pain and weakness like me the first couple days and has had a cough out of the three of us. I’m also the only one that lost taste and smell. we are going on 10 days and we are still feeling sick. So I couldn’t imagine 5 days only.
If you have bad congestion your taste and smell will be altered cause you cant breathe correctly. The way i figured out I can still taste is by blowing out my nose for it to clear for a minute then took a bite of something. When I did that I could taste everything.
of all the videos about the subject.............Yours is the best i've seen so far.........and I think your's will be very hard to beat...................GREAT JOB
Getting Covid19 sucks without a doubt but I wanted to say thank you for your insight both my wife and myself have used a lot of what you have said and it does help a lot so thank you for your help and caring Abraham you are a extremely nice person and you have a great bedside manor
Thanks a million for sharing this very important information. God richly bless you more and more as you continue to share helpful tips about wellness. 👏👏🥳🥳🥰🥰💕
What works better than salt water is Italian Salad Dressing! I had a very bad sore throat and as many others did, I used salt water, But I really couldn't gargle it for some reason. After trying for several days and barely eating, I was craving a salad of tomatoes, cucumber and onions drenched in Italian salad dressing. This seemed to really help, and I believe it's because of the oil sticking to my throat, which helps sooth a very dry sore throat. In case anyone is wondering what brand of Italian Dressing I used, it's Ken's. Unlike the warm salt water, try Italian Dressing instead. Make a salad or have a little cup of Italian Dressing to drink. My belief is it works better the salt water because it sticks to your throat to coat it, where the salt water will wear off in a couple of seconds. Italian Dressing, who knew? And it tastes better, too!
What's interesting is that my nose and throat has been really itchy along with very bad congestion. Also, I am experiencing ear pressure. And was weak for 2 days. I decided to test for Covid and was positive.
Very informative, thank you I’m on my day 7 now though much improved, am still having stuffy nose especially in the evening plus wet cough. Mucus and phlegm colour getting lighter/pale yellow. Having to breath through the mouth is so dehydrating and uncomfortable- can’t really sleep that well. Any remedies on this stuffiness please?
Im 15 and have a slight sore throat, slight runny nose and slight sneezing, im not sure if i have covid or if i just have a cold lol, praying everyone else gets better!!! Might do a little update lol Day 2) muscle aches, slight sneezing, slight sore throat, abit of runny nose, abit hot, but no cough
@Olivia Williams Hi! Thank you lol! But i recovered! I never got a checkup but i had most of the covid symptoms (except for breathing, diarrhea, vomiting coughing snd nausea, i didnt have those symptoms) , so what my stepmom did was cold peppermint water (the peppermint is an essential oil btw) , and i drank alot of tumeric + saffron + wondertheworld tea and i immediately felt better after 3 days, my symptoms were mild :) but thank you! I will still save this number and share it with any of my known people incase they get it ^^

I'm on day 6 with covid confirmed today. It's been painful, super fatigue, body aches, mucus, diarrhea, knife jabbing heachaches every couple seconds (thankfully it slowed down now) and very hard to sleep. Mornings are the worst, then gets better during the day, but by night time gets bad. Then next morning it repeats all over again. Would never wish this on my worst enemies. 🙏
are you currently still having symptoms?
@@retromeatball4402 no, was fatigue for 2 weeks after but I'm all good again.
Managed to dodge Covid for 2 1/2 years. I am fully vaccinated and have 2 boosters. Covid started 6 days ago with a bout of nausea/vomiting 🤢 Sore ribs, extreme fatigue, headache, light headed, sinus congestion, but no fever at all. I took Mucinex every 4 hours which helped alot. Eating and drinking healthy foods and getting lots of sleep.
UPDATE: I hope everyone who responded in the comments is on the mend from Covid. It took some time but I recovered without going to the hospital. 🙏 Stay safe and take care of yourselves !
Yep. Dodged it for the same time. Just got it. Luckily my symptoms are incredibly mild however the loss of taste and smell gave me a panic attack for the first time in like 10 years. It came on so fast and was jarring. Even the air outside that I was breathing was just so bland. I can usually smell the grass and beautiful flowers. The water I drink somehow tastes bland lol. Everything else was luckily fine though it’s mostly just anxiety of having it that’s really made me shook. Hope you get help and get well!
Same
I'm exactly the same except I have fever too🤕
Just got covid today
Yep. Me too.
I was really sick with Covid for three weeks this October. I do not take any medication so I asked my doctor to order me in-home oxygen, i ordered pulse ox, I drank a lot of fluids, and took other natural supplements. I think the best thing I did was get the in-home oxygen. It really helped me I’m 68 years old and was very very ill with Covid. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. I just started driving my car this past week. Thank you for the information.
I’m glad to hear you’re doing better. I’m dealing with Covid now, since December 18, with positive tests on December 20th and 23rd. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be getting better. I’m currently being treated for both pneumonia and bronchitis. Can I ask, why did you need in home oxygen?
So glad you're doing better. I have it right now and it has no mercy on anyone..💔😭
Omg This Virus irks me Cuz innocent ppl having to Suffer like Are you’re okay????...🤷♂️🤦♂️
@@tameramares5785 I just got covid too, it really sucks, I am feeling horrible like all my energy is so gone.
Thank you for sharing
Just caught covid-19 five days ago. This is no joke aches, pains and I would never wish this on my worst enemy.
Get well soon!
@@AbrahamThePharmacist thank you ❤️.
I hope you’re doing better now. 😢 I got COVID on Friday last week. I honestly can say along with the other commenter that I would never wish this on anyone.
@@CodyWeinmannComposer yes I am feeling better slowly. I pray you'll feel better.
@@smartsavvyandloved2095I got it 5 days ago. On my last Paxlovid dose. The pain is terrible for me also.
I rarely comment on videos, but I really wanted to let you know how thankful I am that you put this out. I have Covid-19 right now and couldn’t find a comprehensive informative until I came across yours. Especially during a time when your feeling under the weather, this guide is extremely helpful and it’s so kind of you to put that much care in creating it. You are helping a lot of people and should be very proud of yourself. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Samantha, really made me happy reading your comment. Sending awesome vibes
Thanks so much cant see your spread sheet as I am watching on my cell phone. Hope to find online later. I just tested for COVID for the first time. !😮
Ditto. Thank you!
I’m smothering so bad and a nervous wreck from it it’s scary feels like a rock in my throat
The hardest part of COVID for me is being in isolation from my wife and 6 year-old. So far my symptoms are mild but my heart is breaking for their touch.
Heart breaking reading this comment, wishing you a speedy recovery so you can be back with your family sooner
Thanks Abraham, Good news we all have COVID… I mean I think it is. Cheers
@@Irish-eyes-793 good news? 🤦♂️
I feel the same way I understand
@@markhill4366 Wishing you the best Mark!
Thank you so much for this! Currently dealing with Covid after being safe all this time. I'm vaccinated (not boosted), and even still, this is a miserable thing. Just about every single symptom is cycling through. Can't smell or taste anything (could be the horrible congestion though). To me, the cough is the worst. I can tell it's improving, but every day feels like an eternity. To anyone who says this is nothing more than a bad cold or flu... they couldn't be more wrong. It's terrible, and I can't imagine having had this in the early days.
Hope you get well soon!
This is summer 2024 as I am commenting... I caught COVID at my 90 year old mother's funeral. I am 60 years old and overweight. Fever, body aches, lost my sense of smell. VERY SICK for about 10 days. Headache like a hatchet 🪓 stuck in my skull!!! I thank you for your video.
I just caught mines last week, day 6 and it's still going. But thankfully the knife jabbering heachaches slowed down. That was the worst part. Hope we both heal asap 🙏
Can I ask what do you think helped you?
@@bamachic3084 PRAYERS 🙏
I also ended up going to the doctor about 3 weeks after testing positive. She took a chest X-ray which was clear but because my white blood count was high she prescribed an antibiotic. It is now August 31 and I am starting to go for walks outdoors. I am STILL tired and take a nap when I want.
@@suhtangwong I hope you are doing well friend
@@mimismegalife4976 yes! We made it! It was day 8 that it died out, so only 2 days after my last msg. Stay strong people, and stay protected.
I was on week 5 of recovering from double pneumonia and was starting to improve and go for little walks, then I suddenly started feeling worse than ever and lost my appetite. I talked to the GP on the phone and she asked me to go to the surgery to listen to my chest. I was then sent to a&e and was kept in overnight for fluids and to monitor my low blood pressure. They tested me for COVID and I was positive. I'm home now and now know that my husband has tested positive too although he doesn't have symptoms. The hardest thing is the loss of appetite as I have already lost 3kg with the pneumonia. The video was very helpful, thanks
This is the second time I’ve caught Covid. I’m fully vaccinated and boosted too. It’s just mild covid the second time. I started with haziness and sore throat, then a little dry cough and runny nose. No fever whatsoever. I’ve been drinking hot green tea with Lemon and honey constantly. Drinking water too! During the day my condition is normal like I’ve gotten better. Night time I always have stuffy nose and congestion, dry cough. I’m fighting this as best I can trust me. Covid sucks!
Wishing you a speedy recovery
oh wow. I'm having those same symptoms. I thot it was from black mold from helping a friend move. all their vents and windows had black stuff on them.
day time ok but at night it starts all over
Maybe u just needed another booster or two?
@@AbrahamThePharmacist IT WAS A COLD YOU CLOWN!!!
I'm doubly vaxxed and doubly boosted, a frontline worker and Covid only just found me. I'm on Day 6 and have a rather severe case as a result of having asthma. I've had all the typical symptoms, fever, sinus pain, chills, body aches, sore throat, persistant cough, no smell or taste, but it's the headache, fatigue, and back/lung pain that that is affecting me the most. And the isolation too,. ..I've managed to keep the other 3 people in my house testing negative, but it's hard being alone. Your video is a great help, thank you for sharing.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
I hope you feel much better. I also tested positive yesterday. I'm too suffering with sinuses and it's terrible. This is my second time getting it every time I get it, it's my sinuses.
i honestly hate covid.. 3 years we avoided it. 3 years!! then my brother goes out with no masks and goes in busy places. i’m 14 years old and i’m only on day 2 and i honestly it’s almost impossible to go through with it. i’ve been homeschooled for the 3 years and that was to just avoid it as much as possible. i’ve got a ridiculously dry and sore throat with red tonsils, get dizzy and headaches when i stand up, no energy, migraines, constant chest feeling, can’t breathe deep without coughing, can’t talk without sand paper feeling and breath, brain fog, 36.8 temperature and a high heart rate. i’m fed up on day 2. i just wish people would care for eachother and take precautions…
I hope you are well. Similar story, except I am 54 :-)
Same going through it now, day 3 since tested positive, but pretty down - no energy, 37.5 fever, scratchy throat and absolutely horrid body ache
@@SunnyUBC I’m sorry to hear that you’ve currently got it, it’s a horrible thing to have. I hope you recover quickly. I don’t understand how people think it’s gone? and the long term effect it can have is just sad.
@@RideWithMe14how long it take for yours to go away i literally got a interview in 4 days and have covid
@@withinocean hey man, sorry to bare bad news but I had it for about 12 days and still felt off for a few days after testing negative. All bodies react differently and it depends on the mutation you have though. Hopefully yours will go quickly but very unlikely it will. If you can reschedule the interview, it’ll be safer and more beneficial for you and your interviewer. If not, best of luck for it! Hope covid sods off for you soon tho :)
I am a retired nurse practitioner in the US. I have despaired watching our government give out useless information on how to cope with Covid outpatient. Basically stay away from people until you turn blue, then report to the hospital so we can slap you on a ventilator to finish you off.
This video is no nonsense and very practical. It starts off with reassuring the listener and giving us step by step guidance and the thumbnails allow us to skip to an area of concern. Thank you Doctor, You are in my prayers.
Thanks for commenting Barb Lacy, glad you found the information helpful
❤️🙏
Your sources were your problem. Ventilator for patients with low oxygen levels and probably had chronic illness. Obesity, heart disease high blood pressure contributed to finishing them off not hospitals.
I'm covid positive and my ears really hurt. I geuss this is common symptom of Covid 19 ? I took the nasal steroid but it's not stopping the severe pain. Tylenol works but I'm worried about my liver. I know 3 grams is the total per day. Paxlovid may cause rebound symptoms ? Whoever made this virus really was arrogant.
Agree thank you
I got Covid now. I feel so down. I suffer with depression. I don't feel well. Good video.
My partner tested positive today. I immediately gave your spreadsheet along with an oxymater and a thermometer to my partner. I prepared everything from vitamin D to oxymeter in advance just in case we got Covid, but your advice becomes even more valuable when the reality of Covid hit my family. My oxygen level is 99%, but my partner got 95%. It is very reassuring for caregivers to know the threshold when we need to go to a hospital. This video is not only helpful for a patient, but also caregivers. Thank you for your great advice!
So glad I could help - wishing your partner a speedy recovery!
@@AbrahamThePharmacist Hey I'm in America just got it pastvfew days but didn't sleep well last night and my hearts vesting faster like 120 to 133 with my fever yhr doc and pharmacy said this is normal.

Having trouble sleeping which makes me feel.worse and more anxious faster heart beat please help should I call 911? I'm 39 for the record. How many days does it take to recover
A really great video Abraham, very, very informative indeed. Hubby and I had Covid in January 2020 and it was vile, I would never wish it on anyone! However, our daughter, her husband and children all had it 3 weeks ago and quickly recovered, even the 12 month old!
Your loved ones must be so very proud of you, you’re so very thoughtful and that thoughtfulness is appreciated so very much by us all that subscribe to your channel. Bless you

Wishing you all a speedy recovery
I got the digestive symptoms. No respiratory symptoms, lost smell and taste. Fever 2 days. Still weak but improving daily. Will never blow off digestive symptoms again. No joke
Hey how long did your covid last?
I've had nausea as my primary symptom.., along with fever, cough, fatigue, currently on day 6, still feel ucky.
THIS IS THE BEST! He covers all the basics and how to know WHEN to seek medical attention. Love the idea of using the spreadsheet to track times you take your temp/BP/medications and what the readings were. That is something the doctor will want to see as it plots your progress. Excellent job on this Video!
Glad I could help
Praying for God's Mercy in Jesus's. Amen❤

Glad I could help Lyn, sending awesome vibes
lynn hope you recovered!!!
Thank you for reminding us to stay calm
Sending awesome vibes!
I am currently 6 days positive and the fatigue and head/body aches are by FAR my most bothersome symptoms. I have a cough, congestion, low grade fever as expected but I feel as if my body is made of lead and just getting to the bathroom and feeding my cat is utterly exhausting. I hope this improves significantly and quickly, this could not have happened at a worse time financially for me to be out of work😔
Hope you get well soon Jennifer
I have it exactly like you, also the financial part... wish you the best!
We prayed for you, to feel better and that you know people care about you and ask God for your full recovery asap!!
Hello lovely, how are you now? Also, how long did your congestion last? Mines stuck around for a few days already and it’s driving me mad!
Please let your local Social Services office know if you need help with food, housing and energy. Don't be too proud when you need it. That's what it's there for. Hope you are well now.
I started having the symptoms a day and half ago and this morning I will get the rapid test to see if I’m positive. It definitely feels like I have it. The sad thing is I just got into a car accident and this just makes my situation worse. The video has really helped me bring out my old healthcare provider instincts and go back to basics: monitoring vitals and look out for any change in condition. It’s 2:33 am and I’ve been awake since 11:40 due to my congested nose and discomfort making me unable to sleep. This video has helped significantly within the last 20 min I watched it. Thank you for this video and I will absolutely share it to anyone who needs it.
Thank you so much, wishing you a speedy recovery!
I hope you’re doing much better now !
Try VICKS on the side of each nostril and a little dab on each side of your forehead. Vicks ointment helped ME a lot. Everyone, GET WELL SOON.
@@estellitadelvalle7194 yes I used Vicks. Especially when trying to sleep
I use a nasal decongestant spray and cold medicine for nasal decongestant
First symptoms showed up two to three days ago. The first night was insane. I had a massive headache, threw up, and a fever. The second was more tolerable. I tested positive using two different at home tests. Today, I woke up feeling much better but still have this nasty cough and some flem. My doc says I should be over it in 5 to 7 days so I am hoping for that. Thanks for the great information, this was extremely helpful!
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
How was it ? Was it really 5 to 7 days!??
I had 3 vaccines and still got it. Muscle and bone ache, headache, weakness, cough. Staying in bed. Literally, opened a window and felt easier to breathe. Have put extra pillow. Having soup and drinks with honey. Chills come when I stand up. Tickling in nose and chest.
Thanks for all advices, especially about body position and breathing. Wish everyone easy recovery. My brother recommended garlic as well.
Wishing you a speedy recovery :)
@Seth Rosen I didn’t test after 10 days.LF tests are based on antibodies, so you can test positive after a vaccine and after illness for a very long time, I would suggest.
Oh boy that's not mild!!
Mild is only a stuffy nose and sore throat that's all. Over in 3 days
Vaccine lowers your immune system
@@knewkirk7048 It sure does! By the end of this year another surge and then comes the 5th booster shot
I came down with Covid 2 weeks ago & it was terrible. The fatigue was off the charts. I have had 3 Covid shots & I wonder if I had not had the shots I probably would have died. Anyway, just wanted to leave a tip about if you are having trouble eating, I had a bag of banana popsicles in the freezer & eating & sucking on these popcicles was a life saver. It was the only food I could tolerate and they were very refreshing & helped alot with nausea also. I'm going to keep popcicles on hand they help so well. I had a 103.4 temperature & they also cooled me down. Hope that helps someone
Currently laying in bed with Covid. Day 3. The fever is the worst part
@@xbadandy182x keep putting ice packs or very cool clothes on your face & back of your neck for the fever, it will help be more comfortable.
@@sammie4695 Thanks. Thats exactly what I've been doing today. The icepack on the back of my neck definitely helped.
I can tell tomorrow my dominant symptom is going tobe the sore throat. I just took a dose of Nyquil, and swallowing that stuff down was reminiscent of rubbing alcohol on an open cut. 😑
This virus definitely "lives up to the hype". Hopefully its all over soon.

1 booster but still got it
@@LoveIsInTheHouse thank God I got over it after 6 days, had slight fever and stuffy nose. Developed severe cough but kept on drinking hot lemon tea and boiled fresh oregano leaves squeezed an drink the juice at least 2x a day better than any cough syrup and after a week totally gone. Praying for your fast recovery too. Thank u 🙏 Jesus
@@finacole8744 oh yeah I had the same thing with the fever and cough and a sore throat that felt like it was on fire so I made a ginger, lemon, honey and cinnamon stick concoction that really helped then I had to gargle with salt water it finally went away after 3 days.. this Covid stuff is awful stuff for sure but now I have a lingering head cold with a slight cough and head congestion.. but am getting better..
Same here on vaccine and 2nd booster. Two days after I tested positive. It took me this long to finally catch it.
After 3 years, I finally got covid 19. It was a good run while it lasted 😤💪🏻
Same here. Tested positive on Tuesday for the first time. This winter could be rough for people.
Wishing you both a speedy recovery
@@AbrahamThePharmacistThanks!
Same. First timer here. The fever is the worst part for me. I am on Day 3 of feeling like crap.
Same here, I've never been vaccinated and almost always wear a mask indoors. This is day 7, and the fever lasted almost 3 days. Now I'm dealing with congestion and a light cough as well as fatigue. Every day I've felt better. Thanks for your video. I'm definitely going to start sitting up more and doing the breathing exercises.
I just tested positive today. Fully vaccinated. My symptoms I guess are considered mild. First two days were sore throat, headache, chills, and warm temperatures but no fever. I feel like it is bouncing around in my chest, belly, and back. I literally feel it moving through my system. Has anyone experienced this?
Yes, I can feel it moving throughout my system as well.

@Shereen Clement agreed! 🙏
Hi, I tested + 5 days ago. Have worked in our Covid ICU since the beginning. Over 2 years, never caught it. Phizer vaccine I believe has helped. I'm 62 and diabetic. My Doctor prescribed Paxlovid, which seems to be doing its job. My symptoms started with a light sore throat, and mild malaise in the late afternoon, at work. Called in sick for the next day, and felt pretty horrible. achy all over, no fever. No headaches, but strong malaise. Stuffy nose, and weakness. Got tested on day 2, Very positive they said. Days 3 and 4, weak, tired. Congested, Never lost taste or smell, Today is day 5. I havent
had any chest congestion, I feel considerably better, mostly just weak when up around the house, still some aches. Still slightly congested. I think I'm getting off easy, and feel blessed. Maybe the fact that even at 62, im pretty healthy except for the diabetes, I work full time still,, and when im not working im very active, on the go, maybe that has helped also. Thanks for the video. Hope everyone here is doing well and back to normal.
Did you start paxlovid on day 1 or 5 of you feeling sick. Thanks
Your video is pragmatic, Abraham, Thank you! Monitoring and recording my vitals and other essential details at regular intervals, like a practitioner would do, and looking for" trends" helped me recognize my progress objectively. You placed me in the right frame of mind to handle my own at-home Covid recovery "journey" calmly. As I saw improvement, I became hopeful. Knowing the numbers of concern for BP, O2, pulse, temp., are in essence, truly vital. You taught me when to check again... "an hour later", and provided me much more invaluable info., and you definitely "took the stress out of not knowing what to do" at home. I am a double vaccinated, boosted retired teacher, here in the USA, aged 61, and on the road to recovery. Thank you again!
Thanks Jennifer, so glad you found the information helpful. Sending awesome vibes across the pond to the beautiful USA.

I can not find your link to the template in the comments. Only top comments or newest comments show up for me. Could you post it in a reply to me. Thanks so much!!! Your video is very helpful.
I tested positive for the very first time on Thursday evening 21st July 2022. I believe my symptoms started on Tuesday 19th July which involved a very small but noticeable scratchy throat right in the centre, not sore, just scratchy. Didn't think much of it and went to bed. Woke up on Wednesday 20th July, aches and pains all over my body and such a dizzy head. My body was sore from the shower. I continued on with my day and worked as I believed it may have just been a small virus I picked up or something, throughout the day i notcied i had a high temperature. Got home after work and headed straight to bed as I was exhausted. 12 hours of sleep and during that sleep I sweated so much, my pillow and duvets were soaking. Woke up on Thursday morning feeling a little better, less aches and pains, off to work and noticed I was just generally feeling bleh and really fatigued. I tested on Thursday evening and positive right away with such a thick strong line on the LFT. Have been isolating in the spare bedroom to try and prevent my partner catching it. I generally just felt very fatigued over the weekend and slept alot. Tuesday morning 26th July 2022 I'm still testing positive, evening though the line is so very faint, unfortunately, still a positive reading. Fingers crossed I'll be clear tomorrow. This has given me a lot more covid sense now, as I did get very complacent. I believe I contracted Covid from Glasgow Central Train Station as I was working in that property on Friday 15th July 2022. Hope all whom have contracted this make a speedy recovery 🙏.
I just tested positive today July 28, 2022. My son tested positive Tuesday July 26th. He’s a home health nurse and is very careful always wears a mask. My three younger children are having symptoms. I have a weakened immune system so I took all the vaccines and still got sick. I am so upset! I feel absolutely terrible. I have never felt anything like this before.
@@pigloveandhugs Sorry to hear you got to it Linda. I know when you have it, it literally feels like you will never recover. As the days go on, you'll have times when you're feeling better and then you'll feel rubbish. This will happen a few times throughout the day. But I guarantee you, it will end. That was me negative after 9 days and back to normal activities and feeling like myself again. Throughout the next few days you'll get so tried, doing the smallest of things and can even make you feel nausea. My recommendation is rest rest rest and sleep it off if you can. You'll improve soon don't worry. Anything else you need to know just ask :)
I test positive on 22 July and I am still testing positive today, it’s now 31 july
This is what I am going thru rn 😪 and I hate ittt
I tested positive July 26
Tested positive yesterday. I feel awful but also lucky - I can walk, eat, drive dog to daycare - so I can only imagine how awful this is for many who have it worse. My only concern is the chest pain.
Excellent video.
Wishing you a speedy recovery
Mine as well
I’m barking like a seal
Your dog will contaminate everyone at doggy daycare
@@pamelawarzecha6138 haha me too. I have bronchiatis.
Thank you so much, Abraham. On Day 3 of my first bout with Covid and so far am thankful for what appears to be a mild case, so really appreciated the info, especially about not laying around all day if you don’t feel tired and to sit up straight and breathe!👍
Glad I could help and get well soon
Love how you Call Cough Drops....Cough SWEETS...i'm definately going to pass that one along...Also great Video...Great Speaker...Clear & Very Knowledgable...Thank You!
I appreciate that, glad I could help!
I'm grateful listening your very informative tips how to treat at home of mild covid symptoms. Following your advice to drinks lots fluids with lemon honey and I add ginger, my sore throat is gone. I take Tylenol and resting/sleeping with 45 degrees and it's really helps. Thank you. God bless. Stay safe and healthy 🙏
Glad I could help Connie, sending awesome vibes
Thanks for the video. I have covid with severe sore throat, so eating and drinking are currently very difficult. I am hoping this will pass soon.
Wishing you a speedy recovery
Day 6 for me.. The body aches and tempts have gone.. but the weakness and cough still remains
Wishing you a speedy recovery
Tested positive yesterday..cough , bodyache,sore throat mostly experience..Thanks for the tips..
Wishing you a speedy recovery
You did not mention paxlovid which needs to be started within 5 days of symptoms
THANK YOU, THANK YOU---We have been suffering for over a week now..Me severe,--- my wife is great at dealing with this horrible virus and helping me..I'm 81, retired Fireman (always healthy) but this has taken me down..I'm in California..We just did a 16 day cruise to Hawaii..I could see people getting ill on the ship..The ship was not equipped to deal with Covid..The cruise ships have opened up cruising TOO early..People will get sick and some will die..It is not worth it..
Recovering from Covid pneumonia!!! Was hospitalized for a week!!! Spread sheet sounds helpful!!!!
This was so thorough, thank you for taking the time.
Glad I could help and get well soon!
I tested positive last night for the first time, but I've been really sick since Wednesday. My mother, who has end stage COPD, lives with me as I am her caretaker and I am terrified she's going to catch this. She's 73 and if she does, that's the end of her. On my end, this experience has been an entire roller coaster ride. Yesterday, I slept nearly 20 hours. I slept about 16 today. No fever today, no projectile vomiting either. Congestion on and off. I had 3 vaccines, so I'm hoping this eases up and goes away very, very soon. I'm mostly hoping that my mom doesn't catch this, I'm really scared for her. I've done everything in my power the last 2 and a half years to keep this away from her, I even worked through the shut down because I was 'essential' [factory worker, gag] and I didn't catch it. I'm really disappointed in myself that somehow, I let myself slip.
@Rolling Withthepunches Thank you very much. She did get it, and she needs to be in the hospital. She won't go though, she's very sick but she refuses to go to the hospital. I have a nurse coming out today to assess her and I am hoping she can be convinced to allow me to call 911 to take her. Thank you so much for your kind words.
Wow I understand the letting down part .. I wish you both healthy recovery
@@pamelaboisvert8976 Thank you so much. My worst fear came true and she did catch it and she passed away from it last Sunday. I'm absolutely devastated.
@@elizabethmojica8995 I’m so sorry, Elizabeth. I’ll send a prayer your way. I’m thinking of you.🙏
@@mattmatical2235 Thank you so much. I really don't know how to live without her, I've taken care of her so long. The house is very quiet now. They told me she wasn't going to die, they were going to move her from the ICU on the 12th. I tested negative and went to the hospital and got to talk to her, she sounded great. I told her I'd come see her in the morning and bring her a Coke. Then at 1 am I got a call that her oxygen had dropped to 85% and they had to intubate her. On the 14th I had to make the decision to take her off of life support, and on the 18th she passed. Her covid turned into sepsis and went into her already really damaged lungs. I feel awful.
Thank you, I was really scared , now I'm a bit more calm
Glad I could help
The best way to understand the myriad of advice about COVID-19 and it's flavors is to watch this video. I live in the US and found this very helpful. Well done.
Thanks Christopher, so glad you found the information helpful. Sending awesome vibes across the pond to the beautiful US
This is so very helpful! Up to date on vaccines. I am on the end of the first week of Covid and even though I am under the care of a physician, they were not very informative in terms of what to expect, and how to treat it at home. To know to sit upright, as opposed to laying down is a big deal. To know that an open window to promote airflow. None of this was mentioned. Thank you for this video. I think that noting your statistics is important. I wish I had done this sooner. I do know to hydrate from a fever which I’ve been doing. Didn’t know oxygen saturation was so important I have no way of monitoring that. Such good information. Thank you.
Glad I could help!
😢
We used the ArtemiC Rescue and ArtemiC Support combo, and it worked well for both short and long covid.
I recently tested + of COVID. I only had common cold as a symptoms I did not had any fever, muscle pain, loss of smell and taste as anybody would experience when they tested positive. I'm currently recovering will finish my isolation tomorrow. Completed my vaccines and 1 booster. Keep safe and healthy guys 😊
Hi have the same symptoms as you did you recover pretty quick because for me it seems as though im barely sick
@@jasssyy__ after 5days I actually tested negative. A big factor maybe is that I always exercise early in the morning exposed on the sun as I am a competitive cyclist. Maybe my active lifestyle has helped me recover pretty quick
i have these same symptons ,but after day 5 and 6 i feel pretty normal but still positive tho
Very informational. I used the breathing technique but I would have
to go outside and take deep breaths in and slowly blow out For a good half an hour until I felt Normal.
Sending this info now to partner who just tested positive, and symptoms. Oregon.USA. THANKS 😊
Wishing you a speedy recovery and glad I could help!
Got covid for the first time a week ago.
The coughing is just the worst. I can only breathe super shallowly, because if I try to breathe deeply, I start wheezing.
I have infection asthma, which doesn't help with this.
I can barely eat or drink, so I'm severely dehydrated, since I throw everything I eat or drink up.
I'm not coughing blood, but when I cough, I can taste blood.
I have no energy, but since I live alone, without electrical heating, I need to carry firewood inside from my barn and keep the fire going on.
How are you now? Do you not have anyone to care for you? ❤
@@d.i.a.5392 I'm doing slightly better now, thanks!! I have my mom and her wife that help me every now and then, but they also have covid, so they can't come over here!
¤●¤ For me it's the HEADACHE..Tylenol isn't working..😢
Managed to get to today without catching it not bad nearly 5yrs
Thank you for making this video. I'm traveling in Central America and caught covid on the flight. Trying to self isolate and get sufficient nutritious food is a nightmare. After 5 days my fever and the headache are gone, the cough is diminishing and the sore throat is much less painful. Staying cool involves using airco, which dries the air but I'm staying well hydrated by drinking at least 3 litres of water a day.
I haven't felt so unwell since having dengue fever nearly 20 years ago. 😢
Glad I could help and get well soon
Thanks for this vid. I’m home on an oxygen mask after being in hsp with pnemonitis covid pneumonia and have been searching for ways to heal the breathlessness. I appreciated your video, gave some information that was helpful. Docs say I have to be patient to see if my lungs will lose the consolidation caused by covid. I remain positive that my lungs will be healed.
Thanks for sharing. Awesome video.
Sending awesome vibes and get well soon
Just done my test today and tested positive. Was feeling awful last couple of days thanks so much for this video… to the point and hasn’t got medical jargon I don’t understand. Thank you ☺️
Wishing you a speedy recovery and glad I could help
I continue to refer back to this video as my husband and I go through colds and viruses fully vaccinated and boosted and without testing positive for Covid. Thank you for this very helpful video.
Glad I could help Karen, sending awesome vibes
Thanks for putting this video together. It was reassuring to read about ringing for an ambulance if you should faint which I did and a friend rang them. Can’t fault the care and thorough checks but felt I was wasting there time, which was wrong of me to feel that way after listening to this video. After the checks they slowly got me up on my feet monitoring my blood pressure so this video has been spot on. This is day five since testing positive and still feel quite weak which is hardly surprising due to lack of appetite. Hopefully that will improve because I’ve not really eaten much since Monday evening, 5 days ago. Just hoping I feel more up to doing the things I enjoy so trying to remain positive through the process of recovering.
Thank you for this! Your practical information is very reassuring.
You are so welcome!
I can't find anything about just getting a negative test faster. I don't care about symptoms because I feel fine, but I can't go back to school until I get a negative test.
did you find anything?
Glad I found this! I'm going to buy one of those oxygen things and follow your advice! I've made it all the way until now not catching Covid. I've masked in public indoor spaces since 2020 and went out once without one and here I am. I knew I'd get it sooner or later but thought I'd be safer this time of year. I've lost three family members to Covid and lost my last Christmas with my dad who had cancer and caught Covid on Christmas. He survived but had severe breathing problems after and died a few months later. My Dad was the main reason I was so careful but after experiencing this, I should take care of myself too. Covid is miserable, especially with having asthma. I wish people would think about other people and at least mask or stay home if they have symptoms. There are a lot of us with sick family or health conditions like asthma. I'm not sure why people have such an issue with masks.
I tested positive today so far I have a mild headache and a low grade fever. And some congestion thank.you.for making this video it's really helpful
Wishing you a speedy recovery, glad my video was helpful
How long before you felt better?
Thank you so much. I phoned my dr he said if I can’t breathe phone for ambulance but no other advice so you have helped me so so much. Thank You.
Thank you so much for sharing your great video. My husband and I along with our 22 yr old son who has Down Syndrome all contracted Covid just recently. I was hoping we would all escape this pandemic especially since we have tried so hard to avoid getting it and spreading it… being super conscientious and cautious! I’m grateful we were able to get vaccinated pretty early on as well as get our boosters. I really don’t think we’d be doing as well as we are and yet we still got pretty sick. Anyhow, your video is so helpful. I can’t thank you enough. I’m going to be sure to look for your new ones and also pass them along to anyone who needs some help as I have. God bless you!
Sincerely, Lori
from Bend, Oregon
So glad it was helpful, sending awesome vibes
@@AbrahamThePharmacist Thank you!
My son who has DS is 33 and I (65 ) all vaccinated got covid 10 days ago, he recovered within a week and really just had a sore throat for 4 days and a bit of a cough, I had like a really bad cold , once I tested negative I went back to riding my horses and still coughing and with a streaming nose feel like I've been hit by a train, so exhausted, my son is back at work and in a dance class right at this moment, glad you all did ok.
There is no vaccine against a virus.
I have just got diagnosed three days ago,ty for your video
Get well soon!
I just found out I got Covid today and this video really helped so thank you!
Sorry to hear about this Tokxins - Hope you are doing well and glad my video helped :)
How are you feeling now?
Thanks for this helpful information and advise.
I just tested positive today, Monday, August 7, 2023.
You may have just saved my life.
Wishing you well.
Glad it helped!
Tested positive the other day, had a fever of 40.2c and a terrible headache. Now got a mild fever and shortness of breath and I’m hoping I can get better soon so I can get back to work.
hope you are okay now.
@@MrKhan-ku7fz I’m all better now thanks.
My partner and I have had it a few days now not doing too bad but it’s good to hear your advice getting an oxygen monitor tomorrow I am a HCA so I am keen to have data for my health to show a doctor if needed great video and thanks 🙏
Glad I could help and get well soon
I have avoided COVID all this time and finally got it after my daughter brought it home from school. We have gotten the two vaccines . I got body pains and extreme weakness the first two days then bad congestion and very mild cough. It’s been a week and I still feel fluish on n off and I just started having digestion issues. My youngest did better and has had a pesky cough for the past maybe 2 weeks but mild, no other symptoms. My other daughter had back pain and weakness like me the first couple days and has had a cough out of the three of us. I’m also the only one that lost taste and smell. we are going on 10 days and we are still feeling sick. So I couldn’t imagine 5 days only.
How did you deal with the bad congestion?
If you have bad congestion your taste and smell will be altered cause you cant breathe correctly. The way i figured out I can still taste is by blowing out my nose for it to clear for a minute then took a bite of something. When I did that I could taste everything.
@@BloodyRosesx I took Sudafed honestly and breath through my mouth. It was really bad for about 4 days
How do you feel now Paola? How long did it last? How is your family?
@@MariaPerez-xe9bu we are good. Like a bad cold. Only lasted about 10 days . N we have had zero side effects
Thank you! This was very helpful!

Awesome, wishing you a speedy recovery
Excellent resource!! Thank you! Great way to track progress of one's health
You're so welcome! Wishing you a speedy recovery
Covid only teaches us that we are all alone, just went through 10 days by myself, the mucus made it hard to breathe...covid is no joke
It's so scary for when you don't know what's coming up next on the first days.. 😣 wishing good health to everyone..
Thanks a million for sharing this very important information. God richly bless you more and more as you continue to share helpful tips about wellness. 👏👏🥳🥳🥰🥰💕
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Doctor,i am home in first stages and all your information was priceless!!!
Glad it was helpful! Wishing you a speedy recovery
What works better than salt water is Italian Salad Dressing! I had a very bad sore throat and as many others did, I used salt water, But I really couldn't gargle it for some reason.
After trying for several days and barely eating, I was craving a salad of tomatoes, cucumber and onions drenched in Italian salad dressing. This seemed to really help, and I believe it's because of the oil sticking to my throat, which helps sooth a very dry sore throat. In case anyone is wondering what brand of Italian Dressing I used, it's Ken's. Unlike the warm salt water, try Italian Dressing instead. Make a salad or have a little cup of Italian Dressing to drink. My belief is it works better the salt water because it sticks to your throat to coat it, where the salt water will wear off in a couple of seconds. Italian Dressing, who knew? And it tastes better, too!
What's interesting is that my nose and throat has been really itchy along with very bad congestion. Also, I am experiencing ear pressure. And was weak for 2 days. I decided to test for Covid and was positive.
This is a great video. I found all of the information helpful.
Awesome! Thank you!
Very informative, thank you
I’m on my day 7 now though much improved, am still having stuffy nose especially in the evening plus wet cough. Mucus and phlegm colour getting lighter/pale yellow.
Having to breath through the mouth is so dehydrating and uncomfortable- can’t really sleep that well.
Any remedies on this stuffiness please?
A really nice, thoughtful video. Thank you! ❤
You are so welcome!
Im 15 and have a slight sore throat, slight runny nose and slight sneezing, im not sure if i have covid or if i just have a cold lol, praying everyone else gets better!!!
Might do a little update lol
Day 2) muscle aches, slight sneezing, slight sore throat, abit of runny nose, abit hot, but no cough
@Olivia Williams Hi! Thank you lol! But i recovered! I never got a checkup but i had most of the covid symptoms (except for breathing, diarrhea, vomiting coughing snd nausea, i didnt have those symptoms) , so what my stepmom did was cold peppermint water (the peppermint is an essential oil btw) , and i drank alot of tumeric + saffron + wondertheworld tea and i immediately felt better after 3 days, my symptoms were mild :) but thank you! I will still save this number and share it with any of my known people incase they get it ^^
