Keeps you out of the hospital and keeps you from dying from Covid.
From below link just for those who don't know: Most people who take Paxlovid should not experience serious side effects, explains Dr. Roberts. “Paxlovid is usually very well-tolerated,” he says. Common side effects, which are usually mild, include an: altered or impaired sense of taste diarrhea increased blood pressure, and muscle aches https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/13-things-to-know-paxlovid-covid-19

Of course, the current version of CV is very mild without more Pfizer experiments required. But so easy to guess that mild symptoms are because of the miracle medicine.
Feel better Flatty. As my dad used to say…a roll in bed with honey is what you need. Last edited by Chocaholic; 06-28-2022 at 07:17 AM.. |

Hope you feel better soon. I'm in day 4 of my quarantine period. I haven't had to take anything other than some benadryl, ibuprofen, vitamin C tablets, lots of Gatorade and an occasional herbal tea.

I am sure your Doc gave you a list of other supplements and vitamins to take.
I came down with COVID 5/6 weeks ago and it took a week for me to feel 100%. 10% better a day is about right, at least for me. We are all different. While I am sure your support system is great, if you need anything, i need to visit a friend of mine near you and can help.

Paxlovid is the only one of any use to me!

Yes I took it in early May. I don’t think I had any side effects except an awful taste in my mouth. I posted a thread asking the same question.
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/off-topic-discussions/1118681-paxlovid-covid.html I was sick for about 3 weeks….only first 4 or 5 days were really bad….then it lingered a long time. Took this med because my lungs are toast from 30 plus year cig smoking history (quit 6 years ago), diabetes etc. started getting chest congestion on the 3rd day and panicked and called doc My wife was sick about 3 days, needed no meds and now 5 weeks later coughs continuously and refuses to believe it’s anything but allergies even though she doesn’t have allergies. Stubborn Feel better soon !

Looking back at my thread…I also had bad intestinal issues and very very odd and intense dreams. I forgot about that

I had the bad GI before starting the Paxlovid. It was nasty. Fortunately Covid killed my appetite so the tank has been empty for two days.

I had walking pneumonia a couple years ago and the not staying upright for long rings a bell. But at least I had something that resembled an appetite. I don't know how long it took for me to put in even a lazy full day at the shop. Maybe a full week of attempts after the five days on the couch.
