Stanford also did a study of Paxlovid for LC. I figured it didn’t have a good outcome, because the study was a year ago, and I haven’t found results. These things go at glacier speed. I took a course of Paxlovid on my own, could only get the short course. No help. I took Acyclovir that I already had from a shingles outbreak. I had enough to take for a few weeks (protocol found online). It did not help me either.
That doesn’t mean it wouldn’t help someone else. I’ve tried just about everything I could manage to get my hands on myself, as well as what doctors prescribe for me.
So far (two years) I have not found the silver bullet.
I’m working with an Integrative medical group now, at least they acknowledge that my symptoms are real. Most of my treatments would be considered experimental by western doctors. But what else is there??
I also encountered the doctors who prescribe something or other, and tell you to come back 3-6 months later. No, at that point, you are NOT my doctor.

Both Stanford and NorthShore Group in NE Illinois abruptly cancelled their Paxlovid trials. Appears the Yale trial has uncovered some concerns with the protocol that need to be resolved. As a 71 YO now homebound female on my 3rd Long COVID episode I understand your frustrations. Let's try to maintain hope that later in 2024 there will be treatments and cures.

Dang, sorry non of the antivirals have helped! I know they definitely helped me but seemed to wane in effectiveness after a time.

I agree that finding relief has gotta be outside the box and off label treatments. At least trying something! Most doctors don’t even want to try… so frustrating.

I’m interested in what your symptoms are and what functional medicine things you’ve done that might be useful?
