MVD and Covid Positive ?

[McFox68]

Any of you guys been tested positive ? Any help would be appreciated.

Positive result came back Monday, it's taken a few days to get my head round it all.

Are you symptom free? Why did you have it done?

[McFox68 in reply to Kristin1812]

I have symptoms, we have had a family death and it's affected 5 other family members and myself. 3 of us live together. Symptoms - headache 6 days so far, sore throat, intermittent cough, aching all over neck, shoulders are the worse, intermittent feeling sick. Surprisingly my temperature hasn't been above 37.7 others have been over 38. My wife's lost her sense of smell and taste. But I have bad sense of smell so nothing new to me.

Heart rate so far up more than usual but ok and usual amount of discomfort.

Cheers MilkFairy, I'll check the link. Was going to contact my cardiologist today, didn't want to bother them as I know there busy and so far this is manageable.

Please don't hesitate to get in contact with your Cardiologist.

I hope you feel better soon and I am sorry to read you have had a death in the family.

Take care of yourself.

That’s probably a really good idea, as early attention seems important for some to recover quicker.

My experience is only with family members who were fit and well beforehand, and had v minor symptoms when they got COVID. All doing well.

I had it and it was rough I have to say but the severity of disease varies greatly in people. If your symptoms are manageable now you might be ok just ride it through. There is another forum on patient info for people with Corona. Some things that might have helped me through was getting enough vitamin d zinc and vitamin c. I also took a natural blood thinner called nattokinase. I also did steam inhalations of eucalyptus oil and oregano oil. And resting a lot.

Thanks for your reply, it's been an interesting time and scary at times but hoping, I'm over the worst I hope. Managing myself and what I should and shouldn't do has been interesting. I have had plenty of vitamin c and help from my wife and step daughter. We've all had it together and helped each other.

Take care of yourself day by day it can be scary at least you know Corona won't be forever you will get through it . Its good you have family supporting each other.
