Guessing your oxygen levels got low?

Yeah I basically took a couple steps and my oxygen went down to 84.

Oh sh*t. Is it just for precautionary measures or are you feeling your condition has worsened?

I went to the ER because my lungs kept doing this "quivering" thing like they were trying to cough involuntarily. I found out I have pneumonia. Then when they checked my oxygen it was low enough that they immediately decided to admit me and start me on remdesivir.

Thats basically what happened to me.........take it slow when you get out bud, its gonna be frustrating as hell trust me, but use your oxygen as much as you can and if you can, ASK for steriods after they discharge you.......they have doubled my capacity in a week to breathe

Nah. I can't take the taste, but I do sneak one of my my son's dragon dfruit kombucha's now and then.

I'm home but my strength is completely wiped out. It took like all my energy just to get a shower. I've lost several pounds as well. Here's to hoping the recovery goes well.

well i just tested positive as well yesterday
a cold took the whole family down about a week ago including me. then started to recover than last Thursday started to feel tired and headaches on friday. Saturday took the test and came back positive.

so far symptoms have been like a normal cold and only treatment has been nyquil, Sudafed,dayquil,advil although i plan on going to the dr tomorrow.

im unvaccinated and fairly in shape besides high cholesterol that runs in the family but dont tale any medicine for it. although i could lose 15 lbs or so.

now i know many have had different experience but that has been mine.

although i have gotten the headache which i never get but with advil its been controlled. also lost smell on Saturday and do feel like i had no energy. today has been better with
the energy.

Sorry for the late reply, but no. They gave me remdesivir though.

no worries and how you feeling now.
I still dont have full smell back but I can pick up a slight scent like from a candle or shampoo if I put my nose right in it, lol. I still get a headache mid evening sometimes but might be associated to something else like eye strain by working with a new system.

the real weird thing is that I can sense their is a smell but just cant smell it. Like I walk into the room and I sense the candles are on and can almost feel a scent but just cant smell it.
