Yesssssss!!!!!!
My story is a bit different, but same results. I developed some type of Arthritis, or Arthritis like disease, after getting Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Pain at times is 10/10 in my hips, knees, shoulders, and especially in my wrists/hands. It is unbearable at times and Meloxicam only provides moderate relief.
I tested positive for Covid for the first time a month ago & my doctor started me on Paxlovid. On day 4 of 5 being on Paxlovid I started feeling like my old self, and 2-3 days after I stopped taking it I felt "normal". I was so happy.
A month later and all the pain, stiffness, and swelling is back. It is depressing. What is more depressing is my primary and rheumatologist are dismissing those results. They are not the ones living in pain. If there is a connection or possible treatment with Paxlovid they should look into it further.

Doctors are useless, when it comes to listening and just maybe hearing what we have to say.
I have been fighting this for 3 years now. I have nausea, constipation, swelling, stiffness,
pain, focus, restless legs, shooting pain like arrows or large hypodermic needles sticking in me.
I also have soreness, sometimes eye issues and constant Gastric pains, no sleep and so TIRED.
My hearing has become worse and have not much interest in living. It is a constant struggle,
don't know if the Covid is killing me or the shots. I have not been me, in 3 years now. They write you off as , " it must be in her head." Wrong, it is everywhere. At least you know you are not alone. I have had Covid, Shingles, Flu over the last 4 months. Nothing has helped me. Meloxicam is like a baby aspirin. Doesn't matter, it is not them!
