Yes!!!
Please
Somebody needs to research precisely how and why Paxlovid works on autoimmune symptoms, the pain and inflammation was virtually gone by last dose.
Above all, how long will this relief last???
Is this unexpected side effect of Paxlovid a permanent cure or just a reprieve, possibly a treatment for inflammation and pain due to autoimmune disease???
If not, and the pain comes back, I would welcome getting Covid again if that is what it takes to get another Paxlovid prescription just to have this luxury of being virtually pain free.
The aftertaste side effect of Paxlovid is consistent with many others patient's descriptions, predominantly described as metallic taste and rotting flesh, it’s far more tolerable than chronic debilitating pain and the fatigue that comes along with it.
It would not be inconceivable for people with debilitating inflammation and pain from autoimmune disease to decide to make a beeline toward anyone with a Covid cough just to get a Paxlovid prescription.
For over 10 years I have dealt with pain caused by autoimmune inflammation related inflammation, this morning, when I woke up and realized I was actually able to move and get out of the bed without wincing from pain it took me off guard, was I still sleeping, dreaming?
My painful and somewhat disfiguring leg is swelling is almost completely gone. This still seems too good to be true. I’m still apprehensive, actually thinking just writing this might jinx me.
For well over 10 years, I have dealt with various levels of pain from a tolerable 2 or 3 at best (with the help of steroids shots and Diclofenac) to consistent pain level 7 and above, debilitating pain levels mostly between steroid shots.
Too many doctors over the years were dismissive of the pain, consistent with numerous research studies proving doctors tend to be dismissive of a female and minorities pain and symptoms. Paxlovid seems to be a game changer or silver bullet of hope.
Instead of doctors finding the cause or cure or at least a proper diagnosis I was often prescribed various pain medications but only steroids/anti-inflammatories successfully mitigated the pain and swelling. Paxlovid’s unprecedented ability to drastically reduce my inflammation, swelling, and pain is a gift, even if it’s temporary because for me anything strong than an over-the-counter painkiller causes nausea and the spins.
Years of pain relieved by a Covid meditation??? This seems too good to be true, I can’t help worrying how long will this last instead simply being grateful for the reprieve.
Researchers should do a study on Paxlovid patients, not just how it relieves inflammation/swelling/pain but include the experiences of the participants, for one thing, an explanation for why autoimmune diseases are rampantly misdiagnosed.
If Paxlovid was created as a treatment against the Covid virus, and components of it were originally used to treat a different virus, could it possibly mean somehow auto immune disease/ arthritis/inflammation are in someway related to or are the root cause the cause of a virus?
I am happy to see that many patients have the same experience. I told my story to my rheumatologist and pneumologist, but their response was quite weak and there was little enthusiasm. I think we should give our information to Pfizer itself.

Pfizer can do golden business, with so many rheumatism patients waiting for a good medicine.
