Some may have noticed that I have been quite inactive for the month of April. Well, it was a pretty bad month of being sick and I was left devoid of any energy to do much, let alone Blog. I had a Covid like virus which lasted for several weeks. It was not actual Covid. I was tested three times. However it was just as bad, with all the same lovely symptoms, fever, chills, diarrhea, nausea, headache, exhaustion and nasal drip.
And of course it went straight to my colon. I started to flare. I got through this virus without having to be hospitalized. I do believe that it was only because of my strict diet that I got through with only minor flaring. It was nasty. I also rested a lot, drank tons of water and took immune supplements including B complex, zinc, D, elderberry syrup and fish oils.
Just when I was feeling better I was due to get my second Covid shot. As you can guess, it knocked me back down for a few days. Fever and chills and all.
Take away: I believe that taking the vaccine is still a personal choice. These Covid and Covid like viruses are nasty. Really nasty. They will go straight to the colon. The Covid shot did cause a reaction in me but only for two days. I am glad to have gotten the shots to prevent serious complications in the future. If I had gotten actual Covid, I don't know if I would have gotten through it as well. Decisions on whether or not to take the vaccine to be left for discussion with personal care physician.
