Did PAXLOVID also relieve your arthritis and autoimmune symptoms?

I have arthritis that hasn’t been diagnosed or should I say I have many diagnoses nothing confirmed as correct. I got Covid in September of 22 and was put on anti viral molnupiravir. The BEST 5 days I have had in 6 years. All of my joint pain disappeared, fatigue went away. I was able to do things I haven’t been able to do for years. It was glorious!!! It stopped when my anti virals ended. Talked to my PCP, rheumatologist, orthopedic surgeon, was sent to a hematologist who was super intrigued and actually asked some of his virology colleagues if they would take my case. They said no. Every doctor has been intrigued but brushes it off as interesting. They throw meds at me all the time to take that “might work” like I am a walking experiment but no one will look into why this happened and if we can make it happen again with an anti viral. Been searching internet, doctors ever since. If there are more of us out there that had the same experience there has to be some doctor willing to help.

It's because physicians know very little about most medications, especially paxlovid. Most docs only prescibe a total of 20 or so meds. so they know nothing about the mass number of others on the market, nor should we expect them to. Obviously they know nothing about paxlovid other than it's used to treat covid, thats it.
That is exactly how I felt. I came to the internet to look to see why this happened! I have not had that range of movement in my shoulder in 3 years!!

@colldoll24 you made me laugh and I needed to. LC since November '21 and along the way I took antibiotics and ibuprofen for another issue. My LC symptoms mostly went away and several Doctors in response to my telling them that said "hmmm, that's interesting". Maybe one day we will have this figured out.
