So Covid has entered our home. We think. My wife being a nurse working at a local nursing home is tested twice a week per state standards. She received positive results Friday from her Monday test. Of course this creates issues for mynwork and my son's school. My wife's quarantine ends this Wednesday. Mine starts this Wednesday. My son's started Friday. What a mess. Anyway, if I get tested and have negative results I can return to work, maybe. That depends on weather or not they will also require a letter from my doctor. In that case I won't be going back as my Dr will not sign off on it. So far the entire house is mostly symptom free. No fevers. My wife is having sinus pressure and fatigue, but that isn't uncommon for her. I had the makings of a headache the past couple days but nothing has taken hold. I never get headache's so maybe it is something. I'll be getting tested tomorrow. We are all keeping up with our daily D, C and Zinc. https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,178407,178407#msg-178407 Sat, 06 Jun 2026 02:22:00 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,178407,178515#msg-178515 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,178407,178515#msg-178515 I hope you feel better.]]> susan.d GENERAL HEALTH FORUM Wed, 09 Dec 2020 02:51:41 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,178407,178505#msg-178505 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,178407,178505#msg-178505 rocketritch GENERAL HEALTH FORUM Tue, 08 Dec 2020 16:18:50 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,178407,178494#msg-178494 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,178407,178494#msg-178494
Under new guidelines since I had symptoms my quarantine ends 7 days after being tested negative which will be Wednesday. This was the day the doctor told me to end it last week which is about 10 days from the onset of my symptoms.

My son got reprieve from his 14 day quarantine to 10 under the new rules so he gets to go back to school tomorrow.

I never canceled my doctor's appointment for tomorrow so I'm going to try to at least get some antibiotics as I still have some congestion. Which is probably just a sinus infection or Covid-19.]]> rocketritch GENERAL HEALTH FORUM Sun, 06 Dec 2020 22:02:07 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,178407,178478#msg-178478 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,178407,178478#msg-178478
Rocket - I would definitely try to get some ivermectin from your MD, some prednisone , colchicine and zpack. Even if you're mild or asymp you want to shred the virus and calm the storm. Another to consider would be Dipyridamole

Good luck.]]> NotLyingAboutMyAfib GENERAL HEALTH FORUM Sat, 05 Dec 2020 01:49:15 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,178407,178467#msg-178467 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,178407,178467#msg-178467
Besides me they had 3 others needing doctor appointments today and everyone was getting pushed out to next week. They also dont like the teledoc service provided by our insurance because they almost 100% quarantine.

So my second Dr appointment today has me quarantined for 10 days from Sunday. They also felt that since my symptoms really didn't show up until the weekend that my test was probably a false negative.

This is all driving my wife nuts as she works a Covid line for employees of her company. And for people like me they are sending most back to work. These are all Dr's and Nurses so maybe they have a higher comfort level with what they are doing.

So I'll be sitting it out keeping up with my suplimentations. But if things even hint of going a little south I'm going to do my best to demand some sort of intervention before it progresses any further.

As of right now the sinus issues and pressure aren't unmanageable. I'm not taking anything to help with it though as I don't want to cover up another symptom like a low grade fever or something like that. Which is what the doctor today recommended.

I've also been preoccupied with some in-house distance Physics tutoring with my son. It's been quite a while since I've used that particular part of my brain so I needed to do a little brushing up. I came up with some good tutorial illustrations for some problems he had to solve for school.]]> rocketritch GENERAL HEALTH FORUM Fri, 04 Dec 2020 00:55:13 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,178407,178465#msg-178465 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,178407,178465#msg-178465

The one in Texas was definitely inserted further and was not move once it was placed. The one this evening wasn't as deep and she rooted around with it.

She was aware that I had been tested once already. She claimed that not people insert the swab too far. I made mention of the difference in how the tests were administered. She just shrugged it off.

I would think that there should be a standard for administering such a test.]]> rocketritch GENERAL HEALTH FORUM Wed, 02 Dec 2020 03:19:39 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,178407,178441#msg-178441 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,178407,178441#msg-178441 Joe GENERAL HEALTH FORUM Wed, 02 Dec 2020 02:25:17 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,178407,178440#msg-178440 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,178407,178440#msg-178440 NotLyingAboutMyAfib GENERAL HEALTH FORUM Wed, 02 Dec 2020 02:06:46 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,178407,178437#msg-178437 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,178407,178437#msg-178437 rocketritch GENERAL HEALTH FORUM Tue, 01 Dec 2020 23:20:13 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,178407,178436#msg-178436 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,178407,178436#msg-178436 rocketritch GENERAL HEALTH FORUM Tue, 01 Dec 2020 22:48:32 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,178407,178413#msg-178413 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,178407,178413#msg-178413
Anyway, with their testing regiment I was worried about her getting a false positive. Especially since they have changed to the newer test that doesn't go as deep into the nasal cavity. That's the test I'm having done tomorrow. If I'm getting tested it's going to be the gold standard one. Either way this will all be done with in a few days hopefully.]]> rocketritch GENERAL HEALTH FORUM Mon, 30 Nov 2020 19:45:47 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,178407,178412#msg-178412 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,178407,178412#msg-178412 Glad you are keeping up with your immune system support nutrients.
