24 Years old and glad to be alive. Spent the last 24 hours in the hospital, fever of 105.6 and blood oxygen got down to 82. Got my fever down to 101 and blood oxygen up to 95 this am and they are sending me home. Thought I was dying last night. I am vaccinated but have decided against boosters. Covid can certainly suck dong. Hope to be on for a bit tonightt if I can get throwing up under control.

Get well soon.

Did they tell you which variant you got?
Sounds more like delta than omicron
I don't think you can find that out .. let us know
When I had a go at it back in early 2020 I felt so crappy I actually missed a KOTH after being too sick to fly for about a week
You will feel better soon

Great to hear your doing better, will keep you in prayer my friend. :pray

As 24 is very young to get that sick - just curious Peanut1 - would you be willing to share your general health status / BMI?
If not that is understandable too
I'm 63 in 2 months 5' 9" 170 lbs and have a BMI of 25 which is considered overweight :)
What treatment did you get in the hospital?

I'm 6'1 and 230lbs. By no means fat but def stout. I'm sure my bmi says overweight too. I was hydrated via IV given oxygen therapy and treated for a high fever. Once hydrated everything got better quickly. Trouble is I am puking every single time I drink or eat. I'm doing pretty good right now and hoping to come commit suicide repeatedly in the virtual world in a bit.

Get well peanut. Lots of rest will help. Glad to hear you are ok.

Glad your feeling better!!
It’s me so a pre-apology.
You need a thicker shell and I bet some sea salt would help :D
:bolt:

I appreciate the words from all of you. Feeling pretty good tonight. Mild fever, mild cough, headache and the chills. Throat feels better but still got some phlemb to pass

Good thing you got to a hospital!
Those vitals are a disaster recipe!
I once had a fever around 104 and started hallucinating and could barely stand up to walk. 105.6, I’m surprised you were able to even ask for help, or did it get that high while you were admitted?
The it’s just a cold/flu crowd will be along shortly and tell you it wasn’t that bad… :rolleyes:

I had 3 nights in a row of fevers pushing 104. The highest came while laying on the floor in the ER waiting room. That got me to see a doctor way ahead of all the fat pill addicts. It was drug free hallucinations courtesy of covid...lol 😂 I am doing so much better today. Finally able to keep fluids down .

Happy that you were discharged and the visit didn’t turn into a hospital stay!
One of the quickest ways to get to the front of the line is to say you’re having chest pain. Although that might get you SL Nitroglycerin and possibly the worst headache ever.
Looks like you found another way, lay on the floor and actually have serious symptoms that need to be addressed.

Oh really, well since you’ve worked in the ED (“ER”) and have so much experience please enlighten us some more.
I have worked ED and Obs, but you know better than all of us about everything.
And since you do, I’m sure you’re quite aware MI’s can happen with a good and stable BP and regular looking EKG, right?
:rolleyes:

Scary stuff Peanut. Glad it turned around for you.

They say I would only get Covid if I mixed in with the fighter pilots....They were wrong! got double pneumonia and been fighting the same fight trying to be oxygen saturation up......a slow climb!

63, 6'1, 230 lbs and they call me obese. Of course, they say 'sir' when they say it....

Have any of you folks who have had trouble with Covid been on something like the I-MASK+ protocol (Ivermectin, aspirin, quercetin, zinc, etc.) right from day 1 of symptoms?
https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/FLCCC-Alliance-I-MASKplus-Protocol-ENGLISH.pdf
I'm curious because there a several folks in AH who have had problems, but it's sounding like the course of treatment was nothing until being sick enough to go into the hospital.

I never trusted these things. It says for my height I should be between 140-189. When I got out of the service 40 years ago I was 192 which they call "over weight" I should post a picture from back then, I looked sick I looked so underweight.
I know Im over weight now, but Im not "obese". These thinks are just sooooo far off sometimes.

been going to the er for years complaining of chest pains.I live right next to the biggest hospital around. ekg was always taken right away then sent right back out, to wait. ekgs were always normal. except last year stared feeling chest pains playing the game, scared the hell right out of everybody on range, wife is a nurse called an ambulance. ekg was given in my living room. when I heard oh crap, I knew it was bad.
but you are right I have no experience.

You have experience as a patient. You may have more insight than the average person, however it’s NOT a substitute for study, training and then clinical work experience.
Your wife is different, she has clinical work experience…
Which arrhythmia were you in when they (paramedics?) took your ekg?

I was vaccinated also by choice due to my heart issues. I tested positive for Covid and I was barely around large groups my wife works at the Highschool as a cook and she always tested negative. 2 Of my 3 kids tested positive while in quarantine also In Highschool and I was the first to test positive. 13 years as working as a paramedic for a hospital based medic unit I was forced to get the flu shots so I could keep my job each year they could never get the correct strain and I got the flu every freaking year with the shots. With these Covid shots I had both pzier shots got Covid and now Leary on these boosters. If I am going to Die it’s my terms and will choke what shots I get in the future

At least they are recognizing natural immunity as a path forward as they slowly realize that the shots didn't do what they were initially advertised they would
Most ppl who indicate overweight and obese by BMI standards are.
We have been overweight so long normal weight now looks skinny.
Athletes are an exception but few fall into that category
Too bad they didn't use this event as a call to healthy living by restricting our bad habits...I mean if they can pay you to stay home and not work I would think they can pay you not to eat that big mac and maybe burn a calorie or two..
Free treadmills for all ... instead of stimulus checks .. would have been better in the long run :)

I think both Pfizer and Moderna were found to have around 90-95% effectiveness preventing infection from Covid. Single dose J&J was lower at around 65% effectiveness IIRC, but had the advantages of requiring only a single dose, plus not having to be kept very cold while in storage.
Remember these findings were for the Alpha variant only - this was before Delta, then Omicron, and now BA.2. I've read Omicron is described as a "Frankenstein" version, with 50 mutations, 30 of which occur on the spike - which I believe determines how transmissible it is. That's asking a lot of a vaccine to prevent against a variant with so many differences from the original.
Regarding natural immunity, note the first death from Omicron in the U.S. was a reinfection - an unvaccinated 50yr old male from Texas who'd already had Covid:

Covid Sucks !!! I was vaccinated by choice due to my heart and lung issues. I was feeling like crap no fever and I barely go out much except for local store trips . I was having sinus pressure and could not hear so I went to urgent care never had a fever or anything so the ran the nose picker test for flu variants and Covid and Dam I test Positive for the Rona. I worked In prehospital for 30 years been exposed to the swine flu h1n1 flu and God knows whatever crap I came across to me Covid is another flu variant and if you go to the hospital like me for chest pains which I have a severe cardiac history and if shall die while there due to heart issues they will chalk it up to A Covid death . So we will never know ever the true stats of the Covid Virus and they will come up with more variants just to scare us longer and not let us live ours lives like we used to . I am happy thought that everyone who had minor to mild symptoms survived and can live another day but I am getting tired of being told I have to wear mask here and not their that mask topic is totally another topic

Vtach, SVT, Rabid Afib, Torsades, Asystole?
Probably just a Stemi on the 12 lead.
