My bout with (long?) COVID and the ivermectin that seems to have "cured" it.

I don't normally post personal stuff but this is info that may be beneficial to someone.

It's been over a week and no relapse so I feel like I can tell my story without jinxing myself.

Just over 7 weeks ago my wife tested positive for covid. She had fever, loss of smell and taste, etc, etc. At the same time I began having diarrhea. I went to the emergency room because I was concerned I had c-diff again (another story). I tested positive for covid but they did not attribute diarrhea to it. They found nothing other than an area of colitis (not ulcerative)

During that first week we treated with prophylactic protocol EXCEPT for ivermectin (which I had serendipitously acquired a week before but it hadn't arrived yet).

Wife got better within a week but my diarrhea continued, for 6 weeks. It was debilitating to say the least.

I had read that article that came out at same time about covid possibly causing "restless anal syndrome" then a poster on a forum mentioned he finally stopped his diarrhea, which he attributed to covid, with ivermectin.

So just over a week ago I took 1 dose of the ivermectin I finally received and VOILA, I started feeling better within hours and diarrhea was mostly gone within 48 hours.

Coincidence or miracle drug? I don't believe in coincidences.

I am not a doctor nor do I play one online. I make no recommendations, just posting my experience fyi.
