Coronavirus (Stay on Topic)

Results came back positive for COVID. Diarrhea though may not be COVID related at all and just a flare-up of my ulcerative colitis. With that being said my GI doctor wants me to take prednisone for a month. It seems to help with COVID but mainly in patients with severe illness while hampering perhaps patients with less severe illness. I don't know, I mean the doctor should know best but I'm still a little worried. Wondering if I should ignore him and not take any prednisone.
Sorry to hear that. Would he have normally prescribed the prednisone for the UC (had you not had Covid)? Hope you get better soon!

Yeah, he has prescribed prednisone in the past. He assured me it would help with the COVID but I'm a little worried about taking it so I have no clue.

Gotcha. Who knows what to believe. I've read that it does more harm than good. But then you also hear the opposite. Does anyone really know for sure? It's a tough decision. I'd probably base it on how bad my symptoms were and if I was getting better or not. Will be praying for you man!

Take it. If it helps with the UC that's helping to control something that left unchecked could exacerbate the covid symptoms. If after a few days you feel it's not working or doing harm then call the dr back.

My wife's doctor almost always prescribes her prednisone when she has some sort of cold/sinus infection (mainly because of some other underlying issues) and it always relieves the congestion. I'd follow the DR's orders if I were you. Hope you get better soon. How old are you?

I recently turned 20.

Prednisone gives me heart palpitations and lots of anxiety but at the end of the day it helped with my seasonal asthma a few years ago
 
At my wife’s school they are on week 2. No positive cases so far. Also the test locations in the area are not busy and haven’t been for a few weeks. I think people are not getting tested as much anymore which I take as a good sign.
Same here. No cases at my wife's school as well. I drove by a testing facility at lunch that has been backed up for weeks and there was no one in line. It's not for lack of availability here.
 
One of my best friends almost certainly has it . He got tested today. My fever has been around 99 all day today which is much better than yesterday’s 103.5 . I feel pretty damn fine . Still though have to quarantine until next Thursday I think.

Another friends father may have it as well ( I don’t think I have anything to do with his infection though). Contacted the gym I went to Monday as well and let them know .

Gyms are open in NC?
 
Under the table gyms are open big chains are not I heard waiting till September 1st they will open against governor’s wishes.

Yes there is a loophole in the governors order which allows people to workout in gyms if they have “ health reasons “ “doctors orders”. Of course for one to lose weight or gain muscle is a health reason and two gyms have no obligation to ask whatsoever .
