About 2 weeks ago I started coughing and it got worse at night, Tuesday I took the test and it was positive, After a teleconference with my doctor he call ed a few prescriptions one of which was Paxlovid, But the pharmacy was out until the next day after lunch. So I started on the other drugs he prescribed. One was to be taken with food so I waited until after supper to take it. 30 minutes later I was hugging the john and losing everything I had eaten since breakfast! Then, when there was nothing left to come up I started getting the dry heaves,
Back in my youth I tried drinking and would get throwing up drunk< but I don't ever remember it being this bad. I was able to make it to the couch, but if I turned my head the least little bit I started heaving. It got to my wife so bad that she called an ambulance to take me to the Emergency room.After being checked in I had to force myself to sit up in a wheel chair. It was more like leaning forward until I thought I would fall out, Then I was wheeled to the general ER receiving area with the rest of the general population, even though I had Covid, About 2 hours after being there I was called into a room to be triaged, They took blood checked my pressure then wheeled me back out into the room where I sat for 3 more hours, Finally I got wheeled into an exam room and had the best doctor and nurse who immediately saw to my needs. They put me on an EKG started fluids and added a drug to my fluids to help with the nausea. The nurse came back after 15 minutes to see how the drug was working and I told here it had a very little bit but I was still very nauseous so she gave me an injection of Phenegan. I found out that Phenegran was my friend. I had to be able to give a urine sample before I could leave but I surprised even myself when I did. and I slept most all day WE got home about 6:30 Wednesday and I slept most all day. Wednesday my wife testes positive for it. I am thankful for our close friends who got us our meds and food. I still have a nighttime cough but am doing well other than that. In closing I hope none of you have to take Paxlovid.Unless you like metal mouth!
