Paxlovid as treatment/trial fails

Thank you, @emo for adding to the discussion. Yes, many of the symptoms are alike. It's also that many of the 'like' symptoms too have been dismissed by care providers as "all in your head" for too long. It depends on where one is and how long one has been in care for whatever the symptoms. Because my PCP retired in 2021, it's all new people who don't want to read 25 years of records or to spend time getting to know my capsulized version of me that might shed light.
Laughing - oh I am in reality old and in thinking old about this. I miss thorough, caring, investigative, non-managed-care care.

Haha, I too must be old, or an old soul, at least, in terms of expecting providers to be motivated to get to know the whole person and our history, problem solve, look into the literature, think out of the box, etc. Instead of: "Well the first line of treatment is ______. And the second line of treatment is _____." My eyes are involuntarily rolling as I write this because I could literally rattle off the typical suggestions for chronic pain/neuropathy/fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue, et al.
I too miss the "old school" approach to care. I'm facing this problem with my parents as they both need a new PCP because their current one is on autopilot and we need more help than that.
