That's so interesting that it would lose its effectiveness. You're a pioneer in long-term paxlovid use. Your doc should write a case study about you!! Yes, let's check in after a few days.

Hi Sarah!
How’s your trial of Pax going? Notice any changes?

My liver and labs were finally great again after being off of Pax for 2-3 weeks.

Just curious… do you have GI involvement?

I just took a round of Rifaximin and am feeling better! Hopefully it lasts. I’ve had IBS for a long time and then questionable SIBO prior to my Covid - breath tests always came back negative (but given the specificity and sensitivity of the breath test around 50%), not very accurate! But never took anything for it until now! It’s been another game changer for me so far.

But I’m waiting to see how long it’ll last. Seems the longest I’ve gone with feeling almost normal is 2 weeks, then symptoms start to gradually return.

So has me also wondering about bacterial overgrowth as another potential variable causing LC, along with the other viral reactivations. Hmmm 🤔

What have you been finding?
