I had some very telling symptoms starting last Thursday.  Just a mild, sporadic cough that day; thought it could have been from some dusty corners I was cleaning up at work.  Nothing else.  Next day same cough was there, and started getting the other symptoms: body aches, slight fever (99.5 was the highest it got), occasional slight chills.  All symptoms mild (though the body aches, especially my back, especially between the shoulder blades, got pretty uncomfortable on day three or four), but couldn’t deny they were there.  Took Ivermectin five days in a row, along with my vitamins and povidone iodine nasal spray, and antiseptic gargle.  No nasal congestion in that period, no sore throat. None of the other possible symptoms.  Was pretty good by day five (Tuesday) so stopped taking ivermectin. None Wednesday or today.  I had been wondering how many days in a row I would want to take it; still don’t know.  In answer to your warning, the only drugs I am on regularly are 40 mg atorvastatin and 81 mg aspirin; I did have a heart attack five or six years ago.

Then, oddly, I started getting some sinus congestion yesterday, Wednesday.  That was discouraging, because I thought I was on the mend.  No runny nose, no sore throat. My temperature was 100.4 last evening.  I took aspirin before bed, then a couple of tylenol around midnight.  Fever was gone in the morning, but hovered at about 99.1 today. I am better all around today; got rid of much of the congestion in the morning, and have been breathing without trouble.  Very little cough. I’m wondering if I managed to pick up a slight sinus condition at the same time as I had the other, which I’m pretty sure might have been Omicron.  I didn’t test because there were none available.  Now I’m just lying low and taking vitamins and gargle and nasal spray, and hoping nothing returns or gets worse.
