I have taken a half pound, yes 1/2 pound of Paxlovid per day for ten months. It has done incredible things for me. I'm able to walk & even do some mild acrobatics. I'm full of vigor & my boils have lessened. The only serious issue is my constipation, I will be having major surgery to deal with this. I threatened my doctor to administer a Paxlovid drip the entire time. He told me to not order him to do anything. At that point I physically assaulted him. He experienced the loss of four teeth & immediately telephoned the police.

That is exactly what happened to me!! I just woke up in late December of 2023. I had my surgery yesterday at the Cleveland Clinic. Other than the ache in the back of my neck from positioning during surgery I am great!

Why take a medication like this for a cold
@landonlakes478220 күн бұрын
I just got covid for the first time a few days ago (why I’m checking these vids). My experience so far: 102° fever, constant shivering, diarrhea, too uncomfortable to sleep and some cold type symptoms like throat, sneezing, stuffy nose, headache, etc That being said, on day 3 I feel as though things have gotten maybe 15% better than on day one.. if that 15% improvement holds up each day I’ll take it over the metallic taste described in these videos. If this improvement slows down, I’ll say I should’ve given this a try. Definitely would’ve tried it day 1 if I had remembered this was available 52 unvaccinated

I had the excruciating pain you described after surgery and it was the most painful thing I have experienced in my 72 years. I never want to go through that again. I ended up in the ER a bout 10 days later due to the extreme pain. It was due to swelling and the prednisone was a lifesaver. I think I overdid it over Thanksgiving. So my advice is DONT PUSH YOURSELF! I’m feeling better now although not totally recovered. Take care of yourself. Be better soon

Hello. Stumbled upon this video. It's been a month since my hybrid surgery too. Artificial cervical disc implant on C4/C5 and PEEK caging/fusion at C3/C4 and C5/C6 and having bilateral arm paresthesias which were absent post and pre op..surgeon says don't worry.

Had c-5-6-7 fusion 30 days ago. No more right shoulder arm pain and neuropathy. Right eye peripheral vision much improved. Surgery pain controlled with occasional tylenol and muscle relaxer. Start physical therapy next week. Walk 4-5 miles a day to keep good blood perfusion for a 68 year old man. I had severe spinal stenosis with much pain discomfort. So the discomfort from the surgery has been a drop in a bucket compared to before surgery. I had to loose 100 lbs to get my neck surgery for my neck was 32 inches around. Diet exercises gastric sleeve and lost 120 lbs. Neck was down to 19 inches on surgery date and was a uncomplicated surgery. New me in past year neck fixed lost 120 lbs. No more b/p medication no more heart medications and no more insulin injection. The medical profession and insurance companies have been a blessing for me and god giving me the strength and will power to enter this new time in my lifei

Thanks Adrienne for sharing your experience. I had a consultation and advice from the doctor regarding the surgery on C6 and C7 sort of degeneration and some other issues. Which hospital you been and how much it's cost to do it in US? Actually I am worried due to the neck and read that, this will have some vocal cord problem, infection and chances of paralyzed also if something goes wrong. So checking the hospital and the doctor, who has done the surgery for you. Thank you and wish you to be healthy.

Thank You for posting your video on recovery from ACDF surgery. I had an ACDF 5-7 about 7 months ago and i am still experiencing an aching pain it my neck and Trapezius muscle along with some residual numbness in my right hand. The first 3 months after surgery were great but the pain soon returned. My surgeon is aware and I am doing PT. I get discouraged as the pain returns and relief is short lived. I'm going to try your devices that you have in your post and hopefully they provide some relief. Your post was very helpful and gave me some hope. TY

@emilyselfe21583 ай бұрын
Hi Adrienne, I’m looking at having disc replacement c6/c7 but I’m really nervous of both short term and long term pain after surgery. Was replacement surgery less painful than fusion? I’m a dental hygienist and bend my neck all day in my day job - do you think this will be a problem after 6-12 weeks of surgery? I’m aware I might not be able to work full time again but so long as I don’t lose my career completely. I’m so nervous! Thank you for your video and sharing your experience.

My health history is different from others i carry a xxx,chromosome. Iam afraid that i will have the same results even with surgery. Thats the hard part iam trying to find out 😢.
@Adriennewithane4 ай бұрын
@@ashleywaltz3821 that is tough. I was very terrified too. More than you can tell from these videos. I’m sure you know that the best thing you can do is try to reduce the tobacco use. I know that’s no easy feat. However it can interfere with circulation and bone healing. I wish you the best of luck. Sometimes when we have tough stuff we have to just get it over with and walk through it rather than standing on the side with fear. I felt so proud of myself and almost invincible after I got through my first surgery. It is possible.
