Dorothy H., NJ

My story is about the coronavirus. I do not know how or where to get testing here in Monmouth County, NJ.

I have a few symptoms that are not what they say, I had a headache that moved around, I had a runny nose and stomach issues. The stomach issues may or may not have been from the virus. It was a constant growling even after I ate, and I had a very soft stool with pain in my stomach. I had a script to get a chest X-ray, but when I called to make an appointment they said that if I had a sore throat they couldn't make me an appointment.

I am a person of color and many Afro-Americans are dying from this virus. I would like to share some of my , what you might call remedies. I inhale steam from a pot of boiling water. I use a lot of Vick's vapor rub, I exercise and do breathing exercises. I have an inhaler and drink hot liquids a lot.
