Hindi rin nakaligtas sa pagkahawa mula sa COVID-19 virus ang TV Patrol Star Patroller na si Gretchen Fullido.
Ngayong Linggo, January 9, 2022, ibinahagi ni Gretchen sa Instagram ang kanyang pakikipaglaban sa virus at kung paano niya ito napagtagumpayan.
Lahad niya: "Warning: Long & detailed COVID, post ahead.
"Last January 3, I tested positive for COVID-19 (both RT-PCR & Antigen)
"I immediately went into isolation & prepared all the essential supplements and medicines that I need to take to strengthen my immune system for the days ahead.
"Note that I am fully vaccinated and got my booster shot last December."
Kasunod naman niyang idinetalye ang araw-araw na pagharap sa virus habang naka-isolate.
Noong una at ikalawang araw simula nang siya ay magpositibo, nakaranas daw siya ng "sore & itchy throat, headache, cough, colds—runny nose" at lagnat.
Sa ikatlo at ikaapat na araw, nawala na ang sakit ng kanyang ulo "but my voice was hoarse, BRAIN FOG, Taste & smell became faint (So, I just took it easy & just kept resting)."
Sa ikalimang araw, halos nawala na ang mga sintomas pero "I experienced shortness of breath (it was a little hard to talk on the phone & I was catching my breath but my Oximeter said my O2 levels were good) Overall, it was very manageable.
"I even watered my plants & did light household chores."
Sa ikaanim na araw, ayon kay Gretchen, "Feeling much better than Day 5."
At ngayong araw, maayos na ang kanyang pakiramdam.
Aniya, "Feeling ok. My antigen test came out negative too.
(But I will still stay in isolation for the next few days)
"Basta, the key is to rest… rest & rest. Eat healthy & hydrate."
Kailangan pa rin daw niyang matapos ang sampung araw na iniatang ng gobyerno para sa isolation.
Saad ni Gretchen, "Even if I no longer have symptoms and I feel ok, completing the DOH 10 day isolation and quarantine protocol is a must. Make sure to get your doctor’s clearance if you can be released and to know if you are fit to work."
Hinikayat niya ang lahat na magpabakuna na dahil malaki raw ang naging tulong nito sa mabilis niyang paggaling.
Bahagi pa ng kanyang post, "I am so thankful that I am fully vaccinated and that I was able to get a booster shot too. VACCINES REALLY SAVE LIVES.
"Please get vaccinated & get a booster shot as soon as you can so we can protect ourselves & others.
"Let’s be responsible and compassionate to one another. Praying for healing & for everyone’s health and safety."
