My Covid experience so far 1/29/21

26 24 January 31, 2021 at 08:34 AM in Chat
So on Friday AM, I woke up for work, did my normal routine etc and than went to go take my vitamin C orange flavor chewable that I have and than realized about 15 minutes before leaving home that I was unable to taste it. So than I went and grabbed the cinnamon essential oil that we use in the Kitchen for the pleasant smell on the diffuser. I was unable to smell it and put a dab on my tongue as well and was not able to taste it.

so I gave my boss a text and said I wouldn't be in and ill schedule for a test today to be sure. I end up getting one for CVS at 11am, 20 minutes from home.. I left house little after 9 and headed that way since I was going to park in the parking lot and chill for a bit since I was originally schedueld for a conference call for work on Google Meets, so I got on that for the hour and than when I finished I pulled into the drive thru and took the test.

I did it myself and the swab apparently does not stay in the liquid filled vial, they told me to put it into the zip bloc bag after I was done to dispose, No other symptoms or fever. but did end up taking about a 2-3 hour nap Friday evening and felt okay the rest of the way. (I do have an O- blood type, as I've heard multiple times that they aren't many affected or may not have much symptoms but I obviously have it or something if it happened overnight.

I thought it was kinda funny and deft. weird that I ended up taking a shotglass of 190 proof everclear and it didn't phase me at all Like man that's some strong stuff but to be able to just take the shot and not feel it or the burn that this is something serious! ha well today to Tuesday I should find out my results and go from here.

I think there is some truth to what I referenced, but I would bet the OP does not have insurance and with the way Covid has been downplayed accurate info has been almost impossible to find...probably on purpose. If we can get a true voice of authority ...I am all ears.
I do have insurance and it was not needed to take a test, its free.

Also, my roommate who took a test on Monday, I did mine prior on Friday. His result came back negative. so he may of had it before me and got passed to me. who knows. he's diabetic and is doing fine healthwise, no issues. just had little pain/sinus last week.

Fifteen years ago I saw a Chiropractor after injuring myself with a couple of herniations. This guy always had a packed office and pretty much had an assembly line thing going. I never got used to him cracking my neck, and always thought one mistake by him could do me in. He went to this huge church my girlfriend used to drag me to, so I would see him there. I remember him recommending Ezekiel Bread,,all sorts of vitamins and trying to talk me out of other therapies (decompression, which actually ended up working) for my injuries. I also remember his clinic being very somber and pretty depressing. I was learning how at the beginning back injuries were so debilitating for most people. This guy was always upbeat and kind of zany. Probably because he was making a lot of money and it was easy to get and keep his customers coming back. These people never really got well, they just thought they needed him to feel better.After about a month of going to him and not really getting anywhere I asked him what exactly did I do to my back? This fatso says jokingly....." Ya screwed it up". I didn't think his joke was so funny and never went back. I used to see him in church and he looked pretty frightened of me..... which made ME chuckle.

Some chiropractors are good, they help people feel better and teach them physical therapy exercises and other good conservative therapies while the back pain resolves over the course of 4-6 weeks as it usually does.

Some chiropractors are leeches who will sell anything to try to suck more dollars out of their hapless patients. What has infuriated me lately is that some of them are now charging these poor folks thousands of dollars to draw blood, spin down the plasma, and inject it back in, risking infection with no chance of any benefit.
