My husband and I (un-injected, had the original alpha version in late 2020) are getting over omicron. I didn't believe we'd get it again, because we both have natural immunity. He took a home test; it came out negative. Yet we have all the listed symptoms; I have a few bonus symptoms that he does not have.

For those interested: for him, it started with a sore throat that turned into a bad dry cough. That then turned into really bad fatigue with a low fever and chills for three our four days. He got over the major systems in about six days. He still has an occasion congested sounding cough. I originally thought it was bronchitis, but... no.
I got it three days after I was exposed to him; mine started with a bad cough that sounds just like bronchitis. I had no fever or chills, but I have random night sweats, chest pain from coughing and a really weird metallic taste in my mouth (like going through ketosis) that is lingering. I'm now on day 10. I feel better, but I still occasionally try to hock up a lung.
So... when someone says "oh, it's mild," yeah, I don't know if it's always mild. Do you want to cough so bad for over a week that your chest hurts? Get so sick you can't get out of bed?
And yes, we did all the normal "alternative" protocols, and I'm still doing them. NAC has seemed to help the most at this point.
also get yourself some food grade hydrogen peroxide and a nebulizer. you can make a saline solution of 1% H2O2 and nebulize a teaspoon every hour. alternately you can use colloidal silver. you can also put a drop of iodine in with the saline H2O2. my BF had the worst sore throat and dry cough with no fever. this took care of it for him
Has helped me quite a bit. You can't get it on amazon any more, but you can get it on vitamin sites. Be sure to check for contra-indications; it does work like a drug, rather than a random herb or supplement.
Been going through exactly the same, two weeks tomorrow. The sig oth has same symptoms plus bad tummy and the runs. I have the latter but that could be from the azithromycin I am taking (bought from India a year ago along with HCQ and IVM) to stave off a bronchial infection. Black seed oil 2000 mg is very helpful. Love NAC. Coffee tastes like crap, otherwise no sensory changes. Our immune systems should be tuned like fine violins. The worst part is coughing in public and wondering if they will come for you with torches and pitchforks.
Good to know. But I don't have covid, just good old garden-variety 'flu. I think we both had covid in the spring of 2020; a friend was hospitalized with pneumonia, think he might have passed the original bug on to us. It was a nothingburger, really. Sorta of, "I feel a bit weird - do you?"

NAC?
N-acetylcysteine. NAC.

coffee and covid are a no-no. Coffee will make the symptoms worse. Don't know why, but it just does.
