Hello all! Thank you all for the kind wishes!
I'm out of danger as of today.
Yesterday morning I was rushed to my doctor's office because I was dehydrated to the point of delirium and thankfully she had an old IV stand from which she could hook me to a glucose bag.
I stayed in the backroom of her cabinet for the whole day forcefully drinking tea along with hard anti-diarrhea drugs and they seem to have worked.
My fever was also gone by noon and haven't had one since then.
I was taken home in the evening and today I have just enough energy to walk around for short periods of time.
Right now I'm on strict diet and medication to get back in shape, but it might be a bit over a week until things normalize.
I'll elaborate a bit on why me and my family were against going to hospital.
I live in Bulgaria, which is one of the shit holes of Europe.
Since the pandemic began the country has been short on medical staff and the ones we have are exhausted and don't give a shit about the patients they treat.
Had I gone to hospital the chances are I would have been cut off from all contacts with family and left with barely any treatment in isolation.
Right now everything you catch is potential covid so hospitals are not taking chances.

Bureaucratic systems with lots of middlemen wanting their share and extorting the population. It's most live in poverty and the smart young ones leave for wealthier countries.
