mehaller Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 Holy Moley. This thing is kicking the living begeezuz out of me. My ususal ten minutes of staying upright is gone. I can barely make it to the loo. Just got my scrip for paxlovid to see if it helps. I'm pretty sure I'd be toast if I had a major co-morbidity - assuming dysautnomia isn't a comorbidity. Does anyone have any reports on Paxlovid and the path to knocking this beast back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 Oh no. Hope you feel better soon. You are literally the first person to post about paxlovid, at least according to a search I just did, so no one has mentioned using it on the forum so far. However I do know many people of many ages and various issues who have taken it and it seems to help greatly in most cases. Dysautonomia is not considered a co-morbidity to date from all I understand. We do have this video, if you are up to watching: https://youtu.be/JI_c95dvg0w Hope you feel a lot better soon.

Just check your meds for interactions as Paxlovid does interfere with a lot of meds. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mehaller Posted August 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Update. I did get the Paxlovid, and it indeed knocked back the worst of the Covid. Quite impressive. So far, no sign of rebound either. But, there is some lingering fatigue that feels an awful lot like AOH. But, back on the midodrine and almost back to where I was pre Covid.

mehaller Posted August 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Sorry for the delay in seeing this. I cannot say that I am any worse since the COVID. I can say that the Paxlovid indeed shortened my COVID journey - and did so rapidly. Within a day my mid-grade fever dropped and my respiratory issues seriously subsided. And, the aches were gone. I was amazed how similar the COVID was to the Moderna Vaccine in my spinal inflammatory response. I was experiencing severe pain at every ossified node along my spine. With the vaccine, that pain and fever literally switched off after 36 hours. After Paxlovid, the "off switch" was again pronounced. Weird stuff. Long story short - Don't hesitate on the Paxlovid. My wife dawdled and hemmed and hawed, until it was too late, e.g. beyond five days of first symptoms. She's still having lingering respiratory issues and general malaise. Of course, your mileage may On 8/23/2022 at 11:49 AM, Sri said: Did your symptoms increase after covid?I am planning to take paxlovid if I get covid.what is your experience so far with the medicine? vary.
