Oddly, I can thank Covid for sparing me doing the PCV on my 2008.
:)
Monday Dec 27 2021 I felt off, sent in a State of Iowa Test and next day got back a positive. I put my N95 on in the house and headed to the basement at night to quarantine from family.

Back to the PCV...I had that week off, with a pile of parts for the 08 and 02. I did continue to quarantine in the garage doing suspension, pacing myself and hydrating. By Thursday morning though I was couch-ridden in the basement for 2.5 days. Omicron had me with incredible sinus pressure, lots of time with nose in a hot cup of water to relieve pressure. Only OTC sinus meds for me, never got in my lungs thank God.

Thankfully my local indy tech was ok using my PCV parts from FCP, I ran out of time losing that 2.5 days, nor was I in mindset to do that job.

My father harassed me for not being boosted, despite my explanation it was scheduled that Thursday. Not sure if my Apr/May Pfizer vax did any good, hard to know as some do get mild symptoms and some much worse than me. I've been one that struggles time to time with focus, does seem Covid made that a touch worse.

This does ring true. I personally don't remember getting even mildly sick these past two years, but who knows if I had been a carrier at one point!

It hit fast so I took medication on hand and felt 70% 4 hours later. 90% by 12 hours. The next day it was gone. June

It was called "MATH++ Protocol. It worked for me fast. Don’t know if any doctor can still prescrib it. I hesitate to say much more. A Dr. In Florida was using it last year. So the second time I caught it I had the Protocol on hand. I have 4 co-morbidity so very lucky to have lived in Florida then. June

Hope you are feeling better , June. Love from all of us at MVS!

Although I got vaccinated, I caught covid, I was in quarantine for 1 week. Then I went back to my work. The effects of covid continued for a while (such as weakness, insomnia, fatigue, forgetfulness, dizziness) but I am fine now, thank God. covid has started to climb again in the world, cases started to increase. let's be careful, pay attention to social distance (mask-distance-cleaning)
I have forgetfulness as the effect of the disease. I forget even very simple things.
I wish everyone a healthy day
Goodbye God bless you.
