A month ago I came down with regular cold symptoms: Stuffy nose, congestion, mucus. Developed into a severe cough and chest pains which lasted a week and was giving me headaches. My gf developed same symptoms but about a week after. It subsided for me the day before Italy locked down. Felt slightly run down for a few days but must've had an adrenaline kick from the happening because then I woke up one morning with flu-like symptoms: Fever, chills, aches and pains, migraines, even worse fatigue and a really fucking sore throat. 2 days later it's gone and I feel great.
But here's the thing - I've been taking 1000mg Vitamin C almost every day for last few weeks or so after I heard rumours it works. And by God I think it did. My gf eventually developed the flu-like symptoms when I started feeling better but hers are a lot more severe and have lasted a lot longer. Again fever, dry cough, headaches and body pain, sore throat, but breathing normal. Says she's never felt this sick before. She wasnt taking vitamin C everyday though, only once when I asked her too. Situation improved slightly but still worried about her.
TAKE YOUR FUCKING VITAMINS.
