Did PAXLOVID also relieve your arthritis and autoimmune symptoms?

Hi, I'm new. I've had osteoarthritis for over 20 years and it has been getting worse. Three joints replaced (hip, both shoulders) due to loss of cartilage. I got Covid last week and my joints all over hurt so bad I could barely walk (think abominable snowman). ONE DOSE of Paxlovid and I no longer hurt. This is like a miracle. I decided to search and see if other OAs had that experience, and it would appear so. Hope there is more progress on this. I'm in my 70s.

The exact thing happened to me. One dose of Paxlovid and pain from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, loss of energy disappeared and my drive to accomplish things returned. I felt at least 15 years younger! The last day I took Paxlovid was the last day l felt normal. I have related my experience to my primary doctor, rheumatologist,cardiologist ,vascular doctor and the pain clinic. Some of the doctors are affiliated with Emory Hospital which is a research and teaching hospital. There has been no interest shown by any medical person. I feel very discouraged. I am 80 years old.
