I suspect I was positive a week prior to me being tested. I had a dull headache for a few days. I never get headaches. One being the weakest and ten the harshest, I was a one. I was extremely tired and noticed everything I ate tasted the same, bland. I put this to a test by sampling three kinds of cheese. White american , swiss, and a very sharp. All tasted the same. I never had a temperature but felt like I had a mild cold. When the doctor called the day after the test with a definite positive result, he put me on a high regiment of vitamin C500mg, D500mg, and Zink220mg. He said to quarantine myself for 10 days. He also mentioned that if my symptoms changed even a little bit to the worse, not to full around get to an ER room asap. He said this disease could change on a dime. I might add that I'm a few months shy of the big 7 0. I still work part time and suspect that is how I contacted the covid. Essential employee.
Having survived the 10 days, I called my doctor again to see if I needed another test to see if I was clear. I was surprised to learn that I didn't. I guess if you survive the ten days your cured. He warned me to not believe what I heard in regard to the antibodies stored in my body. He said they begin to weaken almost immediately. He thought they could be negligible within thirty to sixty days. He recommended getting vaccinated as soon as I could. He also said that if I got hit a second time it would not be good, that I could count on it being more severe the next time around. I received my first shot a couple weeks ago and the next one scheduled twenty-eight days after. I feel fine now and resumed my part time job. I had some very minor side effects after the shot and was wondering if anyone who had the second shot what their side effects were. By the way, my wife was also positive and does not work (I'm guilty). She was put on the same dosage of vitamins as I was. The doctor said to maintain the vitamins until a week or so after the second shot. I thought I would pass this info. on for anyone who was interested and see if others wanted to share their story.
