I have battled with CRPS, fibromyalgia, polymyalgia rheumatica, asthma and failed back syndrome for over 25 years and the last 8 rheumatoid arthritis. Pain has been a constant companion until I got Covid in July and took Paxlovid. I was expecting to feel worse, but after 24 hours the Covid symptoms were 90% better but the pain was also gone and so was the incredible fatigue. By the 3rd day I was able to go for a brisk 5 mile walk. Although I had been on pain meds for many years I was able to get by on 1 pill a day broken in half.
This kept up till day 6, the day after I finished the Paxlovid. Now I’m back to square one.
I had 4 very nice days of energy and no real pain.
I hope someone is researching this!
