Hi all - I checked with my doc when covid started and he said to increase what I was already taking for immune support. No covid, and no increase in Lyme symptoms.
This has been my daily protocol: 1) up to 10gms of Vit C 2) 5000IU Vit D, as liquid drops. Each drop is 100IU, so it's a dropperful and a half, squirted into something with fat in it, so I squirt it into the cereal milk 3) capsules of turmeric powder, one in the am and pm. 00-size capsules. Turmeric is anti-inflam. 4) capsules of Host Defense. Each capsule has 17 dried mushrooms in it. Mushrooms are anti-viral. We can also just eat a lot of mushrooms.
I've been out the entire time, since I need ongoing chiro care. I've had 3 negative tests so far. So I'm feeling like the immune boosting program I'm doing is working!
I am SOOOO sorry that this conversation is not allowed by the Dept of Public Health. I have really tried, but they shut down the conversation. I really think Lyme patients could teach them a thing or two about how to protect the immune system. And there are so many different supplements we use, too. Mine are just 4 of them.

I can certainly understand why you are concerned. I am sorry to hear that you are feeling so bad. I am sure that it is not easy when your kids are working. My hubby is also an essential worker, and I wipe down everything daily, too. He is still so nervous that he will bring something home.
I am happy that you have spoken to your doctor and have taken the test. I hope that it is negative. If not, did your doctor mention if he would send you to the hospital? I am sure waiting is the worse part as you will worry until you hear back. Did your doctor offer any relief tips in the meantime as far as symptom management? I realize that this is a huge concern with having PH. Let us know how we can support you. Please keep us posted, will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

jessica .. I think you are on the wrong thread.
