Anons who prayed for me and my MilVet son last bread - eternal thanks, I’m doing better and he’s now raiding the fridge after temporarily losing some smell, taste and appetite.

I’ve been doing the following and have experienced some relief: (listing for others in case they need ideas)

• Vicks VapoRub on chest and neck, add hot washcloth on top

• Steam inhalation (Himalayan sea salt and filtered water)

• lightly sipping very warm lemon water to break up mucus

• staying very calm and breathing slowly with my mouth closed

• walking around my apartment with a walker (because I’m a little weak but want to move my body)
