I have been diagnosed with an autoimmune process since at least 2017. I have been given various diagnoses: RA, inflammatory arthritis and taken various medications, methotrexate, plaquenil, etc.
I had COVID x 2 at least more than a year apart and was prescribed Paxlovid both times. I had complete resolution of my joint pain both times and it was fabulous. Mentioned to PCP and Rheumatologist will no response. The only other med that has ever completely alleviated my joint pain in the past was high dose steroids.

It's amazing how your physicians have zero response to the effect of this drug. I have lost respect for most physicians in general. Most are overworked so frankly don't seem to care. And physicans are taught in medical school to rely on lab results, without them, their guess would be as good as yours or mine. No real secret here, it's like a mecanic relying on what the computer tells them ails your car. Disappointing.

I had the exact same experience, including a previous diagnosis of RA without Rheumatoid Factor, medications taken, steroids, and complete resolution of joint pain with Paxlovid. I felt younger and stronger in comparison to my everyday existence. I, too, have mentioned it to all my physicians, with the exception of my PCP, who thought it was very interesting and had not heard it from any other patients. I search for studies or news relating to this phenomenon.
