[QUOTE="UserABC2021, post: 2242558, member: 470000"] Morning all, up with the lark and showing 7.5 with a surprisingly nice 35.4 temperature. We'll see how that goes through the day. managed five hours sleep sitting upright before the dry coughing woke me up. Better to be woken up by coughing than waking up in one ;) Symptoms so far are identical to the bouts of pneumonia I have had in the past, perhaps this time the coughing is slightly worse. This is a hopeful sign as #1 I have survived these symptoms before and #2 without an actual test it could be pneumonia. Beginning drug treatment was the right thing to do, this morning the minimal phlegm was very thick and white, sinus pain has stopped although headache upon coughing is still there. Just in case all the stuff I am taking/doing is reducing the effects I will list them here. [B]T2[/B]: Metformin 500mg x 2 daily [B]Allergies[/B]: Fenofexadine 120mg daily [B]COPD[/B]: Symbicort Inhaler 200/6 usually 2 x 2 daily increased to x4 daily, Bricanyl Inhaler 1x4 daily, Spiriva 18mcg x 1 daily, just added 30mg Prednisolone daily [B]Infection[/B]: Amoxicillin [B]Supplements[/B]: Daily vit D 5000iu, Zinc 50mg, Selenium 200mcg, vit C 5000mg, Magnesium 375mg, vit B12 1000mcg [B]Exercise[/B]: being able to get to the loo is enough Steaming every 3 hours using 4-5 drops Tea Tree oil and a smudge of Vicks Vapour Rub [U][I]None of the above is given as a recommendation for treatment and is listed only to illustrate how I am dealing with the virus.
