I had mouth sores … severe along with skin rashes. My doctor told me is was a side effect of Paxlovid and gave me a 3 day medication to rid them and it worked. This was May 2024.
My loss of smell has come back however my loss of appetite remains a problem. I have to fight with myself to eat and I can’t eat foods I so much enjoyed before.
Fatigue, brain fog still consuming me. I’m 73 and trying so hard to feel better but nothing seems to help. My doctors say it takes time and every one is different.

After reading your post, @highlands , I wondered if my mouth sores and some of the rest was from just one dose of Paxlovid to which I had a severe reaction and my PCP told me to stop taking it. Thus, it was 10 days before I tested negative while my spouse, who tolerated Paxlovid and started on day 2 when the scripts came, was far less sick and has NO after effects.

I'm 77 and this weekend has been "one of those" with so much pain and agony that I like you find it tough to keep going and to 'fake' a pleasant countenance for work .. which I still do, thankfully from a home office. (Going out - the effort to dress more appropriately than Zoom needs! -- is simply exhausting.)

To us all .. please let them find something to help.
