Alices corona story is so much like mine it is just uncanny. I am 70 years old. The same symptoms. The first week I thought I was getting off somewhat easy. I thought I was over it, started feeling better. That night I got my absolute sickest. Chills, fever, nauseous, diarrehea, and the scariest part a tightness and pains in my chest. Like Alice it too was on my right side of my chest. Surprisingly, very little dry coughing. Then it became the week from hell. aching in the lungs which I never had in my life. Very tight bronchial tubes. I considered the er however I still was able to breath without too much laboring. 2 1/2 weeks later and I finally turned the corner. Feeling better, but very cautious...We made it Alice!! Thank God.
Theresa Crockett same story here, age 71. The headache was 1st, too, all the same symptoms. My temp high was 100.3 too. Pain on right side ear and neck like lymph node swollen, chest tight, dry coughing, no smell or taste too. Started feeling better then headache came back, as bad as before, neck pain, diarrhea started this time. It all started exposure 3/16, 1st headache was 3/22. Today is my first normal day, 4/26. Had 2 rounds of symptoms. Msgs to MDs and TCs from MDs. Ribs hurt from coughing, muscles painful from coughing in rib area. Temp dropped into low 95s. Checked my BP, pulse, blood sugars, all in my regular range. Had no pulse ox, ordered one from Amazon as none available locally. Checked my pink finger nail beds to see if my oxygen might be somewhat ok. Fuzzy thinking, light hurt my eyes due to severe headache too. Tired, fatigue, lots of rest, sleep, and sat up to breathe. Kept walking as able to do deep breathing exercises to open chest. Washed hands, used water bleach to disinfect areas. Ate very little as no taste, no smell, but have co-morbidities, diabetes and high BP. This is an awful disease, virus! Now just want antibody test.
@@cab5917 Hope you are feeling better. In my last comment I said I thought I was getting better. Spoke too soon. Two days later I woke up in the middle of night with chills, fever and sweating and the tight respiratory. Not only was I discouraged, at this point 3 weeks in, very scared. My doctor prescribed a inhaler. That seemed to help break up the tightness in my breathing. I am hoping I am now finally at the end of this, However I don't want to get my hopes up as it a very confusing virus with so many different symptoms. Please be very careful when you feel you are well and don't over do things. Continue to baby yourself and get lots of rest and fluids. There really is not too much we can do but pray and wait it out.
@@learningmakingdoing It is so good of you to be concerned for you grandmother. My family has helped me through this terrible time by checking in with me to see if there was anything I needed. Personally for me just to know people care and are there just in case has been a comfort to me. If your grandmother does get sick (I hope not!) it is best to have no physical contact. It is much too contagious. You can always leave her groceries by her door. This past week I had the grocery store deliver mine. I should also say if it is absolutely necessary to be with your grandmother, take all of the precautions. Mask, gloves and hand washing. Your grandmother is very blessed to have such a caring granddaughter. I hope this has been of some help to you. God bless you and your grandmother.
Don't smile unnecessarily. Just because she got it and saved don't disrespect other victims. It's nothing to smile or laugh about. It's a big disease. My grandma is also suffering. It isn't always a smooth buttery walk for all people. Be respectful old woman.
I am 68, had Corona virus, with very mild symptoms. I have treated high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and I am a little bit fat. I am absolutely ok, saw the doctor after, the virus even made my BP perfect, 120/80.
I'm a 71 year old female...I have high blood pressure and hypothyroidism..I got Covid 19 when we had a family birthday get- together at our home..not sure exactly from whom..my 72 year old husband has a heart condition & high blood pressure as well..he's in ICU on a ventilator not doing very well. I never got tested but with all the Covid symptoms I had, I knew I did. Fever, chills, body aches, weakness, cough, temperature, diarrhea, no appetite, etc. I didn't lose my sense of taste or smell though. Thank God. I couldn't do much for bout 8 days or so. just rested on sofa. .then eventually I started to feel better. TTG! I have already tested negative.. Just posting my story to give older people like myself hope...
I'm so glad shes doing good now. Praise God. Praying for all of you out there. Jesus is our protection he is our help in times of trouble and at all times hes the friend that loves more than a brother. Jesus is Lord. He is the way to God.
@@self1earth Jesus is alive & real today just as He was more than two thousand years ago. Read His Word. He died on the cross for you & He arose on the 3rd day. He is alive, praise God! Will you accept Jesus into your heart today, He can turn your life into a great testimony for Him all for His glory. We were all created to worship Jesus & give Him all the glory in everything that we do. God is everything you need...any situation you are facing, He can turn it all around for your good...."what Satan meant for evil, God is turning it around for good." "God's Word is quicker & sharper than any two- edged sword...." "Our God is a consuming fire." "The joy of the Lord is your strength." "God will fight for you when no one else will." "God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we could ever ask or think....."😊
Don't forget that Jesus is God's Son and that God's name is Jehovah of which so many bible companies take his name out and put LORD instead. So when you pray, you pray to Jehovah through Jesus. Even Jewish people who only believe in the Hebrew scriptures have God's name in their text at home but believe it is too sacred to say it.
What a joy Alice is! Her positive outlook should be a model for all of us. I’d appreciate hearing more about albuterol as a possible therapy during COVID-19 and what to expect if a family member with asthma is stricken with respiratory complications from the virus. Thank you for touching on these subjects.

My mom is almost 89 and was hospitalized w corona in nyc and she has heart failure , diabetes and hypertension and it knocked her out for 6 weeks but better now ....main symptoms extreme fatigue and chills w shaking and early on breathing issues ....
I am really panicking because my dead is also a heart patient who had undergone an open heart surgery and this gives me so much hope. Thank you and I hope your mom is fully recovered
Thank this wonderful woman for sharing her story. I am hoping your sense of smell and taste return and you heal 100% . You seem very strong and alert. You are living a good life and taking care of yourself. Thank you again for sharing your story.
My sister is 81 and is in a hospital in upstate New York with COVID19. She lives in a nursing home and contracted the disease there. The doctors are saying she has a good chance of survival. I pray she survives with no side effects of the disease.
I’m 56 and almost the same symptoms. This virus went through our family starting the last week in Feb. My husband came home from work feb. 28 with what we thought was a cold, he never felt warm so we just assumed it was a cold although he did have some chills and sweating at night and a little cough, after about a week or so, he felt better. On March 6, I started to get bad headaches like my head was in a vice so I started taking Tylenol but they would always come back. In the next 3 days, I started having body aches and tummy issues with a lot of air/ gas as well as a loss of appetite. When I did feel a little hungry and tried to eat, after about 3 bites I would become very nauseous and the extreme fatigue set in as well, even after sleeping all night. It would just come over me out of nowhere, I told told my daughter I felt pregnant lol. After about 4 days of this is when the tightness started in my chest. So far during all the symptoms I was experiencing, I blew it off as this or that, was tired because of watching 3 kids all week and so on but the tightness in my chest was way out of the normal for me. The only other time I felt like that was when I had pneumonia years back. It felt like a belt being tightened around my lower chest. It lasted on and off about another 4 or 5 days with a little bit of cough then I started feeling much better. For me, I never really had fever or if I did, it was low grade and the constant Tylenol I was taking masked it. My daughter became sick with fever and cough on March 13 and was sent home from here office to work at home followed by my granddaughter who developed a very deep cough. The thing about this was that through it all, we never even once associated these things with this virus, never crossed our minds because the symptoms don’t fit what they were saying and there was no testing going on at the time. It wasn’t until I started to hear from others who had tested positive with the same kind of symptoms as I had and my daughter with the classic ones did I put it together. So basically, we went through this while taking care of our 3 grandkids all week (no easy feat) lol but got through and never even knew it. For that, I praise God and believe with all my heart that the Lord got us through without complications or the fear of knowing what it was which I would have had plenty of if I had known what it was and he knew that too 😉 He knows me well. None of us ever got tested so we will have to wait for a accurate antibody test to come out but I am convinced that’s what we all had.
Were all the people who did know what they had and were terrified, or who died, NOT special to God, then? Please think before you make such statements. I am thankful you are all better.
@@boholilo7740 I don't find religion wholesome. I'm just trying to educate, is all. Why would a benevolent God pick and choose who he saves?logic, people. It exists. Use it.
Dr. Christy you are the type of person whose goodness shows within minutes of listening to you speak. God bless you for following your calling. May God continue to deepen your knowledge and wisdom in your practise of healing others and strengthen your love to continue serving Him through others. Peace.
What a sweet beautiful lady. Truly I'm glad she survived and a lot of ppls body cannot handle this. She's going to live to a hundred. Sounds like she had a mild case thank God.
I’d be interested to know how the other 7 people who was with the lady on her trip that tested positive did? I know you can’t use names and that’s ok, but it would really be interesting to know their outcomes, ages, what the course of their virus, etc was like. Thanks.
I am going through it right now, almost 3 weeks to be exact, trust this is the hardest thing I've ever faced in my life. But God is in the midst of it all. I plan to share my story soon ...I want people to know that God is still in the healing business...
What a lovely lady Alice is, so attractive for her age too. So glad she recovered. Symptoms are a bit confusing with this virus. I have had a pain on right side of my chest if I cough for a week although I don't have an actual cough. I ache and temperature all over the place. Oh well, no doubt it will pass - fingers crossed!!
Thank you Dr Christy. Your info helps take the panic away. I care for my mom who is 78 and she's been practicing social distancing and wearing a mask. We're here in NJ. She's in good health so we're being careful.
I was wondering why Alice reminded me so much of my mom. Then I looked at the doobly-do. They're both in their early 70s and are from about the same area of Texas. Alice, I'm so glad you're okay. Hopefully, you'll get your senses of smell and taste back soon!
Jackie H probably not as contagious as media is claiming it to be. I also know someone who had, his wife and sister never got it and live in same house or possibly they were all asymptotic...but he was exposed to others before staying home and they didn’t get it either
Thank God for your healing. Our Father protects us. Dr would you recommend me to sleep on my stomach as I am asthmatic, should I be infected at some stage.
I stayed lockdown on April 15, I only went out bexause I had to, wearing mask and gloves, getting home I kept my shoes and my coat covered with a big garbage bag, washing hands etc AND I got a cold anyway! No fever, no cough, some sneezing, smell is fine, no unusual body aches, very sleepy all the time and no appetite though. I am 71 with controlled with pills high blood pressure. Glad they made it though. She said they came to NYC, what did they do in the city, where did they go, the theatre?
Bless her heart. I'm so glad Alice is now alright. Perhaps if we'd known sooner, she and her friends wouldn't have went on there trip. Stay safe everyone.
Thank God you have recovered from this vicious disease. I am 55 and I got the covid at work. I was home for a week and then I started to get worse during the second week and my husband had to call 911 and was admitted at the hospital. There was no room for me so I was transferred to another hospital. I was unconscious, not knowing what time it was and I was coded 10 minutes from the hospital I was going to I was intubated and put on the ventilator for 10 days and in the hospital for more than a month. I am still struggling with long term covid, but I have to thank God I am still alive. God bless you 🙏 ❤
Christmas day and finding out that after all day of trying to contact my 72 year old mother that she was admitted to the hospital on Christmas eve for chest pains. I'm at a loss for words and praying that we come to an end of this nightmare. I'm praying that my mother pulls out of this.
I met several patients in Arizona and spoke to them and asked questions and they are seriously damaged physically and mentally. They have after effects from shaking, trembling, shortness of breath, bruises all over their bodies, severe kidney pain and mentally they are simply scared to death from what's happening to their bodies. There are people also getting infected again and returning to hospitals after they already had the virus and were released (the second time is even worse). People need to take this shit seriously.
There's a lot of people who won't get it because of their unique immune system. There's people right now who could be in the presence of other people who has it and won't get it because of their unique immune system.
I recovered from covid. I’m 74 and in very good health. As far as I can tell, I have not had any lingering symptoms. I do have the protective antibodies as a result, and I consider that a good thing.
Thank you Dr. Christy. This interview is very helpful and give us some hope. The part of her Albuterol is useful because I have asthma and have both Advair and Albuterol. Glad to know that she is fine now. Thank you again for a great interview.
i had my smell and tales go for a month+ but i began a routine a week ago and today i can taste and smell now thank God. u have to boost your immune system bigtime so start drinking hot tea with real garlic, ginger, tumeric, pepper, lemon, honey plus i bought L glutamine powder at walmart. also stop eating any histamine foods like prok tomatoes, chocolate, avacados etc . look up the list what not to eat. buy a small saline spray bottle at walmart for $5. take mega doses of Vit D. 5000mg+ daily. Take mg capsules. 2000mg /day min. If you can sleep try to get a straight 7hrs + in without waking. If not buy a small pack of gravol at wm and take 1 60min b4 bed. I dont do rx drugs. sleep is critical to heal the body. regiment and dont stray until it comes back. then keep up the same foods and supplements. I mix vitamin capsules with foods. it will come back if you keep at it. also learn about the body meridians lings sinuses etc and accupressure points and do it daily a few times. good luck
I'm glad you are recovering. And you were hearing a lot of horrible things because of all the horrible things. And now, we know this is not a one size fits all for everyone. So let's wear masks until our docs and scientists get a better handle on this! Thank you for your your story Alice and thank you Doctor Christy for posting...
Would of liked to have known how the other 7 friends did. Would have liked to have known their ages and did all of them get through it. We older generation by the news are being told we are the ones that dont make it which puts stress and fear even more on us. Which fear is not a good thing while your sick. Lowers you immune system more. Since it seems all we hear on the news is older people dont seem to make it when they get this virus, it is so so awesome to finally hear that a lot do make it. Thank you so much for this video. Finally some encouragement for us older folks instead of doom.
Hi Wanda. I am 68 and am recovering from Covid-19. I live on Long Island, NY. If you want to hear my story, I am telling it in videos on my YT channel, Glenda Sully
Hang in there, you will make it. My prayers and positive thoughts are with you my friend. Rest and drink lots of fluids. Stay positive and pray when fear overtakes you.God Bless.
I had a flu and lost my 100% of my smell and about 95% of my taste in 1999. It was the worst flu I ever had and I was pregnant, thought I was dying. I wonder if this virus isn’t novel after all or if other flu viruses can make you lose your smell also. My sense of smell never came back.
My thinking too. I got sick a few weeks ago but brushed it off--leg aches, chills, mainly. Had had flu vaccine. The symptoms didn't last long....who knows?
I am 65 and feel good about my changes of survival if I do catch covid-19. How good that you are healthy. This is the 2nd time I've watched this. Did your sense of smell and taste come back? It is end of July 2020 now. Mrs. Sessi, fear when faced with sickness is so often worse than the sickness itself.
There are asymptomatic cases who on lung scans show the ground glass opacities. So even if you feel like you didn't get it when close to someone who was infected your lungs may prove different. Have follow up lung imaging done.
Her smile is what the nation needs more of right now to fight the pandemic.❤️ Alice and other survivors all agree that negative thoughts only hurt, never help, so please stay far away from the fearmongering of today's media & current administration. Right now those with symptoms need to rest, isolate, drink fluids and get well 😍
Her doc told her to not go to ER until she couldn’t talk due to being out of breath. I just listen to a video from a doctor who said he was dealing with patients that could talk right up to being intubated. This was quit perplexing to him.
i slept straight for 4 weeks, for the first 2 a barely got up to eat - mostly just drank water - although i made sure to make green smoothies if i could. First two weeks i had bad headache and literally a tiredness and drowsiness that was imposssible not to sleep all day, like when a child gets sick - it reminded me of that, when i used to get sick as a child - which makes sense because when you're fighting things as a kid, its usually "for the first time" and you're immune system is figuring out. At about 2 weeks i had MILD fever, body aches and neck pain and also mild diarreah for a couple of days. After that i got breathless and tight chest - almost like astmha, later on id wake up feeling like id smoked 40 cigarettes. (i used to smoke but havent for a number of years). Sometimes it got scary - what i found helpful was steam breathing with Sage and thyme. it was really effective at reducing the pain and tightness in my chest and i would stop coughing for several hours. i had to do that eveyday for about 10 days. I did it several times a day - when i felt my breathing was getting bad enough to scare me. It gave real relief. 2 weeks after the fever i started to get better in the way i felt, my chest took ages to get better - but i improved much more quickly when i added in Sytron (iron) and started eating alot of meat (i dont normally eat meat really, im a juicer and plant person - but it made a huge difference). I'm not sure if its because people with Covid seem to get depleted albumin levels. protein combined with the iron (and vitamin c) got me back on my feet in terms of how my body felt after maybe 5 days, i definitely felt the difference eating what i considered a large amount of meat even afte the first day of doing it. (i probably ate 6 beef sauseges and a steak!) I found beef to be much better than pork or chicken for having an effect - no idea why. My chest however still isnt fully recovered, which is crazy as this happened 2 months ago.
What about all the covid 19 positive patients who have no symptoms? So asymptomatic people like her husband could very well have had it. Would be interested to know his antibody test.
I wonder if I didn't have it. I'm in late 60s. Went to lunch at end of February with a friend. She got sick, I got sick. She has the stomach end of it. I got just totally exhausted. Slept most of the week - just didn't have energy for anything. Would walk dogs but didn't know if I could even make it home I was so weak. Did have a dry cough during that time. I would love to have a test to see if I have antibodies. I haven't gotten sick in 6 years with any type of a flu, so this makes me think it was something more.
2.32 min start. Middle of head headache, little diarrhea, 103 temperature, tightness in the chest for 1 week. 2nd week still had achy body & short breath, it hurt to breathe, no smell, taste. Husband of elderly woman had no signs of virus, he never wore mask. Dr:if can't speak full sentence, go to ER. Helpful was tylonel & not alone helped, news brought most fear.
Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us. This is great knowledge and helpful 👍👍👍👍 I have only one question Dr. Risinger. The blood plasma were you were talking about is that tied to a blood group or is that a neutral part of the blood that can be taken from the blood ?
Ray 2020 the donor plasma has to be the same blood type as the recipients. The person that gives the plasma has to be the same blood type as the person who will be receiving the donation 🙂 I have had 2 plasma donations in my life
I'm so happy that Alice recovered & didn't have to be hospitalized. I live on Long Island, NY in Nassau County. My daughter is a nurse & tested positive. I took care of her & my grandchildren. Then I tested positive on April 8th. My daughter had to come out of isolation to take care of the kids & me. It has been horrible. I recount my story of Covid-19 & the after effects (still ongoing) on my RUclips channel, Glenda Sully
Headache First , was bizarre ,and different,like a sprain feeling. Runny nose,I haven’t had a runny nose in 14 yrs . Nor do I have allergies. Serious Conjuctivitis,goop,itchy , body aches , tightness in chest on and off ,on my right side too , severe pain in stomach,strange lesions on my feet , tummy,and trunk.. Sore throat comes and goes . I know my body really well, and have ocd with handwashing. This is really bizarre because it’s a headache that’s really strange. When you sprain your ankle,you get a nerve pain,I had that . But these I had for weeks in isolation. Chills came and went .
I am happy that that sweet lady survived this!! I am 68 and it is encouraging to know that some people do survive this! I appreciated the tip about Albuterol.
Yes, MOST survive as @sarahrose0413 said. In fact, they're now thinking that as many as 50% who are exposed to the virus can be asymptomatic! That really changes the odds in our favor; but the bad news is that also increases the spread; because asymptomatic people will be out and about inadvertently spreading it. We hear mostly about the worst cases; most who get it, like this lovely woman in the video, will have a relatively mild case. But be smart also, and don't be one of the crazy people who get in crowds, and refuse to wear a mask. Stay safe!
Luckyyy, I got way sicker ! I’m only in my 20s. My mom and dad, both had over 104.0 and I had 103.6 and almost ended up intubated. We used Extra strength Tylenol and cough medication. I ended up needing extra treatment to help me keep breathing.
I had a similar flu back in 2017. Only thing different was I didn't have difficulty breathing but had EVERYTHING else, plus sore throat towards end with pai full sores in my mouth! I was sick 2 weeks before returning to work. It took months for me to feel 100%! Worst and strangest flu I ever had! It was beyond miserable. Evolved to this in 2020?

Even Jewish people who only believe in the Hebrew scriptures have God's name in their text at home but believe it is too sacred to say it.
What a joy Alice is! Her positive outlook should be a model for all of us. I’d appreciate hearing more about albuterol as a possible therapy during COVID-19 and what to expect if a family member with asthma is stricken with respiratory complications from the virus. Thank you for touching on these subjects.

mark patrick that’s amazing to hear. So glad for your mom and you.
I am really panicking because my dead is also a heart patient who had undergone an open heart surgery and this gives me so much hope. Thank you and I hope your mom is fully recovered
To God be the glory , I am happy for your mom
I'm glad she's okay and she survived. It seems like your mother's doing well.
🙏🌸
Thank this wonderful woman for sharing her story. I am hoping your sense of smell and taste return and you heal 100% . You seem very strong and alert. You are living a good life and taking care of yourself. Thank you again for sharing your story.
She is adorable. I love her accent and want her to be my mom. She is perfection ❤️
Love whoever your mom is
What a lovely lady. So glad she recovered. 😊
My sister is 81 and is in a hospital in upstate New York with COVID19. She lives in a nursing home and contracted the disease there. The doctors are saying she has a good chance of survival. I pray she survives with no side effects of the disease.
Praying for your sister, Cindy! 🙏🏽
Please keep us posted!
They say vitamin D is important. I wish your sister a speedy recovery.
God bless her for a quick recovery and healthy happy life there after🙏
Onion poultice on the chest improves the breathing and relieves the shortness of breath...
My aunt survived . she's 96.
I’m 56 and almost the same symptoms. This virus went through our family starting the last week in Feb. My husband came home from work feb. 28 with what we thought was a cold, he never felt warm so we just assumed it was a cold although he did have some chills and sweating at night and a little cough, after about a week or so, he felt better.
On March 6, I started to get bad headaches like my head was in a vice so I started taking Tylenol but they would always come back. In the next 3 days, I started having body aches and tummy issues with a lot of air/ gas as well as a loss of appetite. When I did feel a little hungry and tried to eat, after about 3 bites I would become very nauseous and the extreme fatigue set in as well, even after sleeping all night. It would just come over me out of nowhere, I told told my daughter I felt pregnant lol.
After about 4 days of this is when the tightness started in my chest. So far during all the symptoms I was experiencing, I blew it off as this or that, was tired because of watching 3 kids all week and so on but the tightness in my chest was way out of the normal for me. The only other time I felt like that was when I had pneumonia years back. It felt like a belt being tightened around my lower chest.
It lasted on and off about another 4 or 5 days with a little bit of cough then I started feeling much better. For me, I never really had fever or if I did, it was low grade and the constant Tylenol I was taking masked it.
My daughter became sick with fever and cough on March 13 and was sent home from here office to work at home followed by my granddaughter who developed a very deep cough.
The thing about this was that through it all, we never even once associated these things with this virus, never crossed our minds because the symptoms don’t fit what they were saying and there was no testing going on at the time. It wasn’t until I started to hear from others who had tested positive with the same kind of symptoms as I had and my daughter with the classic ones did I put it together.
So basically, we went through this while taking care of our 3 grandkids all week (no easy feat) lol but got through and never even knew it.
For that, I praise God and believe with all my heart that the Lord got us through without complications or the fear of knowing what it was
which I would have had plenty of if I had known what it was and he knew that too 😉 He knows me well.
None of us ever got tested so we will have to wait for a accurate antibody test to come out but I am convinced that’s what we all had.
Were all the people who did know what they had and were terrified, or who died, NOT special to God, then? Please think before you make such statements. I am thankful you are all better.
Anna Twink ...she never said that the other people were not special to God. Of course they were. We are all is children. She was just giving thanks.
One of the most wholesome comments out there and somebody just has to make something out of it. Smh
Thank you for sharing keep safe .God bless you and your family.
@@boholilo7740 I don't find religion wholesome. I'm just trying to educate, is all. Why would a benevolent God pick and choose who he saves?logic, people. It exists. Use it.
Great to hear her story really gives an idea of how the Covid19 affects people esp. our elders out there.
Dr. Christy you are the type of person whose goodness shows within minutes of listening to you speak. God bless you for following your calling. May God continue to deepen your knowledge and wisdom in your practise of healing others and strengthen your love to continue serving Him through others. Peace.
Thank you for the videos Dr. Christy!!
What a sweet beautiful lady. Truly I'm glad she survived and a lot of ppls body cannot handle this. She's going to live to a hundred. Sounds like she had a mild case thank God.
I’d be interested to know how the other 7 people who was with the lady on her trip that tested positive did? I know you can’t use names and that’s ok, but it would really be interesting to know their outcomes, ages, what the course of their virus, etc was like. Thanks.
They were all old so they are lucky they lived.
This lady seems very sweet, nice and pleasant. 🌻
Sweet woman 💚 thank goodness she is ok now 🙏🏼
I am going through it right now, almost 3 weeks to be exact, trust this is the hardest thing I've ever faced in my life. But God is in the midst of it all.
I plan to share my story soon ...I want people to know that God is still in the healing business...
Thanks for sharing, my God continue to bless you and your family!
Hey Alice. I'm so glad you are ok, but I really want to know if you saw any shows in NYC! You are a light! Thank you for your story!
Thank you for sharing your experience, Stay safe 🙏🏻❤️
And thank you for the videos Doctor, salutations from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷🤍
Thank you Dr. Christy. I can see the joy of the Lord in Alice's eyes. What a beautiful person and a grace-filled story.
What a sweet lady. I am so happy you are doing well. It's interesting that the second week in after exposure is when you felt worse. Stay well
I am so happy you are doing well . Thank you for sharing your story. Many blessings to you and your family. 🙏🙏❤😷
Alice is lovely... So positive
I am PRO Hydroxychloroquine (200mg) with zinc gluconate! For pts. that are fairly healthy...no heart problems.
Thank you Christy & Alice.
Alice was blessed to have great genes and most likely lived a good clean healthy life.
This is the only video I appreciate from this doctor
What a lovely lady Alice is, so attractive for her age too. So glad she recovered. Symptoms are a bit confusing with this virus. I have had a pain on right side of my chest if I cough for a week although I don't have an actual cough. I ache and temperature all over the place. Oh well, no doubt it will pass - fingers crossed!!
The body fights with fever but we try to bring down a fever so we fight against our own systems.
Yes, thank you!! My comment as well!
Eye on art when your in pain sometimes Tylenol will help you sleep which is just as important to recover.
Interesting facts 💯
Seems dr is agreeable to diminishing fever and I always wonder about? Maybe extremely high is dangerous especially with children?
Thank you Dr Christy. Your info helps take the panic away. I care for my mom who is 78 and she's been practicing social distancing and wearing a mask. We're here in NJ. She's in good health so we're being careful.
Thailand covid-19 patient recovered , oldest patient was 97 years old, youngest of age,was,one month old,
Bless her heart
I was wondering why Alice reminded me so much of my mom. Then I looked at the doobly-do. They're both in their early 70s and are from about the same area of Texas. Alice, I'm so glad you're okay. Hopefully, you'll get your senses of smell and taste back soon!
Dr, why did do you think her husband did not get ill as well? So happy for your friend.
Jackie H probably not as contagious as media is claiming it to be. I also know someone who had, his wife and sister never got it and live in same house or possibly they were all asymptotic...but he was exposed to others before staying home and they didn’t get it either
Thank God for your healing. Our Father protects us. Dr would you recommend me to sleep on my stomach as I am asthmatic, should I be infected at some stage.
bless your hearts,be well
God bless doc. Hang in there...
Thanks for the video , God loves you, mam. He's taking care of you.Bless you and yourfamily.Stay safe.
I stayed lockdown on April 15, I only went out bexause I had to, wearing mask and gloves, getting home I kept my shoes and my coat covered with a big garbage bag, washing hands etc AND I got a cold anyway! No fever, no cough, some sneezing, smell is fine, no unusual body aches, very sleepy all the time and no appetite though. I am 71 with controlled with pills high blood pressure. Glad they made it though. She said they came to NYC, what did they do in the city, where did they go, the theatre?
Bless her heart. I'm so glad Alice is now alright. Perhaps if we'd known sooner, she and her friends wouldn't have went on there trip. Stay safe everyone.
Thank God you have recovered from this vicious disease. I am 55 and I got the covid at work. I was home for a week and then I started to get worse during the second week and my husband had to call 911 and was admitted at the hospital. There was no room for me so I was transferred to another hospital. I was unconscious, not knowing what time it was and I was coded 10 minutes from the hospital I was going to I was intubated and put on the ventilator for 10 days and in the hospital for more than a month. I am still struggling with long term covid, but I have to thank God I am still alive. God bless you 🙏 ❤
Wow so happy you are fine and well.
bless you alice !!! i wish you live longer 🙏🏼
Christmas day and finding out that after all day of trying to contact my 72 year old mother that she was admitted to the hospital on Christmas eve for chest pains. I'm at a loss for words and praying that we come to an end of this nightmare. I'm praying that my mother pulls out of this.
I met several patients in Arizona and spoke to them and asked questions and they are seriously damaged physically and mentally. They have after effects from shaking, trembling, shortness of breath, bruises all over their bodies, severe kidney pain and mentally they are simply scared to death from what's happening to their bodies.
There are people also getting infected again and returning to hospitals after they already had the virus and were released (the second time is even worse). People need to take this shit seriously.
My mom is currently fighting covid. Just watching success videos to calm myself. She is currently on the ventilator
I am praying for your mom.. My mom iss on a ventilator now for 2 weeks now i am praying for you and your family
Great news!!! Congratulations and god bless🙏🙏🙏
Appreciate everyday and pray lives 🙏 and health is restored to all going though any issues may god bless you all
You never know how things will go, yet so many are willing to gamble with their health.
you ladies shared hope with me. thank you!!!!!
There's a lot of people who won't get it because of their unique immune system. There's people right now who could be in the presence of other people who has it and won't get it because of their unique immune system.
She’s fortunate she’s a positive person. Fear can make disease worse
I recovered from covid. I’m 74 and in very good health. As far as I can tell, I have not had any lingering symptoms. I do have the protective antibodies as a result, and I consider that a good thing.
Thank you Dr. Christy. This interview is very helpful and give us some hope. The part of her Albuterol is useful because I have asthma and have both Advair and Albuterol. Glad to know that she is fine now.
Thank you again for a great interview.
suwanatatnina what is them drugs pain killers ?
@@isla8718 No, they're for asthma and/or COPD.
Amazing story! Continue to heal🙏🏾
i had my smell and tales go for a month+ but i began a routine a week ago and today i can taste and smell now thank God. u have to boost your immune system bigtime so start drinking hot tea with real garlic, ginger, tumeric, pepper, lemon, honey plus i bought L glutamine powder at walmart. also stop eating any histamine foods like prok tomatoes, chocolate, avacados etc . look up the list what not to eat. buy a small saline spray bottle at walmart for $5. take mega doses of Vit D. 5000mg+ daily. Take mg capsules. 2000mg /day min. If you can sleep try to get a straight 7hrs + in without waking. If not buy a small pack of gravol at wm and take 1 60min b4 bed. I dont do rx drugs. sleep is critical to heal the body. regiment and dont stray until it comes back. then keep up the same foods and supplements. I mix vitamin capsules with foods. it will come back if you keep at it. also learn about the body meridians lings sinuses etc and accupressure points and do it daily a few times. good luck
Spray in nose w /salt water ?
I like your suggestion better than our presidents.We will figure this out ourselves,thank you for the info.we do have to boost our immune systems.
I'm glad you are recovering. And you were hearing a lot of horrible things because of all the horrible things. And now, we know this is not a one size fits all for everyone. So let's wear masks until our docs and scientists get a better handle on this! Thank you for your your story Alice and thank you Doctor Christy for posting...
Would of liked to have known how the other 7 friends did. Would have liked to have known their ages and did all of them get through it. We older generation by the news are being told we are the ones that dont make it which puts stress and fear even more on us. Which fear is not a good thing while your sick. Lowers you immune system more. Since it seems all we hear on the news is older people dont seem to make it when they get this virus, it is so so awesome to finally hear that a lot do make it. Thank you so much for this video. Finally some encouragement for us older folks instead of doom.
Hi Wanda. I am 68 and am recovering from Covid-19. I live on Long Island, NY. If you want to hear my story, I am telling it in videos on my YT channel, Glenda Sully
I'm glad her doctor gave her treatment. I hear that many of them don't.
She is 71 and is looking so young can you do another video and have her tell us her secret for for looking so young.
LorD bless your heart🙏 thanks for sharing this interview💞🌸
Lovly lady..lovly conversation. .thanks
I have covid too..how inspiring.only a little shortness of breath i have almost 8 days..i hope i can make it..GOD helps..thanks for the advice..
Hang in there, you will make it. My prayers and positive thoughts are with you my friend. Rest and drink lots of fluids. Stay positive and pray when fear overtakes you.God Bless.
I had a flu and lost my 100% of my smell and about 95% of my taste in 1999. It was the worst flu I ever had and I was pregnant, thought I was dying. I wonder if this virus isn’t novel after all or if other flu viruses can make you lose your smell also. My sense of smell never came back.
My thinking too. I got sick a few weeks ago but brushed it off--leg aches, chills, mainly. Had had flu vaccine. The symptoms didn't last long....who knows?
Do you know if Alice’s taste or smell came back? Over all she sound like she recovered well.
Alice said not yet
James hi
Medicare I like to read comments made by persons 55 and older. God bless you
I am 65 and feel good about my changes of survival if I do catch covid-19. How good that you are healthy. This is the 2nd time I've watched this. Did your sense of smell and taste come back? It is end of July 2020 now. Mrs. Sessi, fear when faced with sickness is so often worse than the sickness itself.
There are asymptomatic cases who on lung scans show the ground glass opacities. So even if you feel like you didn't get it when close to someone who was infected your lungs may prove different. Have follow up lung imaging done.
Her smile is what the nation needs more of right now to fight the pandemic.❤️ Alice and other survivors all agree that negative thoughts only hurt, never help, so please stay far away from the fearmongering of today's media & current administration. Right now those with symptoms need to rest, isolate, drink fluids and get well 😍
God bless her
She talked about symptoms, but no testing.
How does she know it was Covid19 without testing?
Glad she has recovered from her illness.
Thank you.
HI AM VERY HAPPY TO HEAR YOU ARE OK BY GOD'S GRACE, CAN YOU SHARE WHAT YOU ATE WHEN YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS WENT OUT PLEASE?
Her doc told her to not go to ER until she couldn’t talk due to being out of breath. I just listen to a video from a doctor who said he was dealing with patients that could talk right up to being intubated. This was quit perplexing to him.
i slept straight for 4 weeks, for the first 2 a barely got up to eat - mostly just drank water - although i made sure to make green smoothies if i could. First two weeks i had bad headache and literally a tiredness and drowsiness that was imposssible not to sleep all day, like when a child gets sick - it reminded me of that, when i used to get sick as a child - which makes sense because when you're fighting things as a kid, its usually "for the first time" and you're immune system is figuring out. At about 2 weeks i had MILD fever, body aches and neck pain and also mild diarreah for a couple of days. After that i got breathless and tight chest - almost like astmha, later on id wake up feeling like id smoked 40 cigarettes. (i used to smoke but havent for a number of years). Sometimes it got scary - what i found helpful was steam breathing with Sage and thyme. it was really effective at reducing the pain and tightness in my chest and i would stop coughing for several hours. i had to do that eveyday for about 10 days. I did it several times a day - when i felt my breathing was getting bad enough to scare me. It gave real relief. 2 weeks after the fever i started to get better in the way i felt, my chest took ages to get better - but i improved much more quickly when i added in Sytron (iron) and started eating alot of meat (i dont normally eat meat really, im a juicer and plant person - but it made a huge difference). I'm not sure if its because people with Covid seem to get depleted albumin levels. protein combined with the iron (and vitamin c) got me back on my feet in terms of how my body felt after maybe 5 days, i definitely felt the difference eating what i considered a large amount of meat even afte the first day of doing it. (i probably ate 6 beef sauseges and a steak!) I found beef to be much better than pork or chicken for having an effect - no idea why. My chest however still isnt fully recovered, which is crazy as this happened 2 months ago.
What about all the covid 19 positive patients who have no symptoms? So asymptomatic people like her husband could very well have had it. Would be interested to know his antibody test.
I wonder if I didn't have it. I'm in late 60s. Went to lunch at end of February with a friend. She got sick, I got sick. She has the stomach end of it. I got just totally exhausted. Slept most of the week - just didn't have energy for anything. Would walk dogs but didn't know if I could even make it home I was so weak. Did have a dry cough during that time. I would love to have a test to see if I have antibodies. I haven't gotten sick in 6 years with any type of a flu, so this makes me think it was something more.
2.32 min start. Middle of head headache, little diarrhea, 103 temperature, tightness in the chest for 1 week. 2nd week still had achy body & short breath, it hurt to breathe, no smell, taste. Husband of elderly woman had no signs of virus, he never wore mask. Dr:if can't speak full sentence, go to ER. Helpful was tylonel & not alone helped, news brought most fear.
Dr. Risinger please look at Dr. Richard Cheng's YT channel and his recommendations on the use of high dose vit. C, vit. D, zinc and magnesium.
@@OceanFrontVilla3 I an from the uk and would like to ask what you mean by there's no money i n it?
@@MP-uo6qd because no sale of vitamins, they say no proof, no FDA...etc.
She doesnt care about natural care. This lady survived because she didn't go to hospital.
Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us.
This is great knowledge and helpful 👍👍👍👍
I have only one question Dr. Risinger.
The blood plasma were you were talking about is that tied to a blood group or is that a neutral part of the blood that can be taken from the blood ?
Ray 2020 the donor plasma has to be the same blood type as the recipients. The person that gives the plasma has to be the same blood type as the person who will be receiving the donation 🙂 I have had 2 plasma donations in my life
hallowmaxberry74
Thank you for your answer, it’s clear for me now 👍👍👍

I forgot, good to know that it helped you two times. God bless you.
I'm so happy that Alice recovered & didn't have to be hospitalized. I live on Long Island, NY in Nassau County. My daughter is a nurse & tested positive. I took care of her & my grandchildren. Then I tested positive on April 8th. My daughter had to come out of isolation to take care of the kids & me. It has been horrible. I recount my story of Covid-19 & the after effects (still ongoing) on my RUclips channel, Glenda Sully
it's really amazing that she is absolutely cured. God blesss them. we can get over this virus finally. Be safe everyone.
She looks like a strong person. Does/did she take vitamin c,d,k, & zinc? Those vitamins sounds very helpful in fighting virus's.
Headache First , was bizarre ,and different,like a sprain feeling. Runny nose,I haven’t had a runny nose in 14 yrs . Nor do I have allergies. Serious Conjuctivitis,goop,itchy , body aches , tightness in chest on and off ,on my right side too , severe pain in stomach,strange lesions on my feet , tummy,and trunk..
Sore throat comes and goes .
I know my body really well, and have ocd with handwashing. This is really bizarre because it’s a headache that’s really strange. When you sprain your ankle,you get a nerve pain,I had that . But these I had for weeks in isolation. Chills came and went .
Did you get tested? How are you now? my prayers are with you, get better and rest.
God bless you.
Good interview. !
God bless you twice.
I am happy that that sweet lady survived this!! I am 68 and it is encouraging to know that some people do survive this! I appreciated the tip about Albuterol.
LindaLuxable most , not some
Yes, MOST survive as @sarahrose0413 said. In fact, they're now thinking that as many as 50% who are exposed to the virus can be asymptomatic! That really changes the odds in our favor; but the bad news is that also increases the spread; because asymptomatic people will be out and about inadvertently spreading it. We hear mostly about the worst cases; most who get it, like this lovely woman in the video, will have a relatively mild case. But be smart also, and don't be one of the crazy people who get in crowds, and refuse to wear a mask. Stay safe!
Luckyyy, I got way sicker ! I’m only in my 20s. My mom and dad, both had over 104.0 and I had 103.6 and almost ended up intubated. We used Extra strength Tylenol and cough medication. I ended up needing extra treatment to help me keep breathing.
I had a similar flu back in 2017. Only thing different was I didn't have difficulty breathing but had EVERYTHING else, plus sore throat towards end with pai full sores in my mouth! I was sick 2 weeks before returning to work. It took months for me to feel 100%! Worst and strangest flu I ever had! It was beyond miserable. Evolved to this in 2020?
Hello I would like to know about the breathing treatment that she had .
Was it for underlying conditions?
Or did her doctor prescribe it?
