I know these times are really quite exceptionally frightening and so many points speak to so many people.
But is also really important that you know and believe from the inside out that you wouldn't even be at this site if you weren't really and truly far more than you think you are-- or are capable of becoming!
I am 70 years old as are many posters here.
I and many others here have at least one serious immune deficiency disorder (mine for 40+ years with a diagnosis to prepare for a wheelchair within 8 years)
Never happened. I was teaching community aerobics for free 3 years later. Never ever did I think I could go from barely being able to walk to that!
We are here to support you, send love, prayers, and best wishes to you through these times
Many of us have stared death in the face. Many of are afraid. We're all still here and hope you stay here too!
Living, loving and yes, even laughing through each new challenge the best that we can.
You are made for these times!I
hahahaa I already edited that whole paragraph out. Sometimes I am a pre-cog!
I laughed so hard at your comment though! Love you!
I am seriously numerically and spatially dyslexic and having been up since 3 a.m. (past life as a nun perhaps?) So cognitively compromised all week (well a week and a half) with my self-isolaton and lack of clerks to talk to at the grocery store.
I really thought Jeanne had said she was your age which was therefore my age.
Hahahahaha. I needed a really good laugh at myself today!
No worries it actually had me in stitches of laughter too! I appreciate you so much - you are always wonderful! Thank you sweet Michele! ?
Well I was laughing too because a check out clerk said recently to me..you're in your later 70s aren't you?
I'd looked like a 12 year old in college in the 60s/70s but when I hit 65 time caught up with me in decades!
My kids told me "well at least you had a really good run!"
I did too!
???????
OMG!!! First of all I would never have asked if I were the clerk...and you look amazing! (kids say things like that to their parents). Funny thing is when I was young, I remember my grandmother who was in her 60s. She Looked OLD, say 80, like the lady on the old maid cards (but Italian lol). Women today look so young compared to how they looked years ago. Your spirit of light helps you maintain that youthful glow too ? ?
Found this online today, I am gobsmacked that this doctor picked up on the tsunami that so many on here have sensed. Wise words indeed.
Try this perspective shift. Instead of seeing "social distancing" and travel bans as panic, try seeing them as acts of mass cooperation intended to protect the collective whole. This plan is not about individuals going into hiding. It's a global deep breath... an agreement between humans around the planet to be still. Be still, in hopes that the biggest wave can pass without engulfing too many of the vulnerable amongst us." -- Dr. Lindsay Jernigan

On the other hand I am wondering: what if many of us have already had COVID-19 but no one knew it?
To continue with my earlier response to @laura-f's post: I visited my physician’s office this morning to get a test and an IV of Myers Cocktail/Glutathione. My physician is an integrative doc who specializes in lyme, chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS --caused from mold, mycobacteria and biotoxins), autoimmune diseases and other chronic illnesses.
As my IV was being administered, I remarked to the nurse that my husband and I had been sick, on and off, since early December, and wondered whether it could have been the Coronavirus? When I explained our symptoms, the nurse remarked, “Uh – yep! Could very well be!” She then shared with me about the number of patients they had seen in December with the coughing/respiratory/fever/extreme fatigue symptoms, some leading pretty quickly into pneumonia. None of these patients had the flu. It appeared to be a virus that was either extremely difficult to get rid of, or seemed to come back. Of course then can’t prove it was COVID-19 since there was no testing.
I have an appointment with my doctor in early May, so I will talk with him further about it. In the meantime, I’m going to post some protective supplements that he recommends.
By the way – in addition to the doctor’s office being immaculate, they had three air scrubbers going.
Wow. Yeah, I think next year when antibody testing is available I'm going to look into it. Just for curiosity's sake, plus I imagine TPTB might want the data.
BTW my primary doc is still my functional doc from Leesburg - Dr. Lee (yeah I know), I've never heard of Meyers Cocktail - please elaborate. I can't exactly fly back for that, but I can talk to him about it at our next monthly phone consult.
A Myer's Cocktail IV drip decreases inflammation and improves energy. It contains a heavy dose of B-vitamins, Magnesium, Pyridoxine (B6), and Vitamin C. The Glutathione IV removes toxins and supports the immune system. I can get tired after the Glutathione, which is from the detoxification. In fact, I can’t receive the full dosage (5 ccs) of Glutathione – it’s too much for my system to handle.
After being sick in mid-December, I couldn’t shake my extreme exhaustion so I had Myers and Glutathione IVs. They really helped with my fatigue. Dr. Heyman often recommends IVs of Vitamin C when you’ve experienced the flu or any type of severe respiratory illness.
I can bet you could find a practitioner in your area who administers those IVs, if you ever want to try them.
