Has anyone tried taking Paxlovid to address long Covid? I found an article from November 7, 2022 in the NY Times that discusses this as well as one in The Atlantic from May, 2022.

Yes! I’ve had Long Covid for 9 months- tried all kinds of micronutrients- that I read clinical trials of-some a bit helpful- giving me 1 or 2 days a week with decreased exhaustion, these quit working at all, so I embarked on plan C which was getting a script for Paxlovid ( I had read where some people had good results ( some only partially good)
Got it from a teledoc who send script to Walgreens- had to wait a few days as they were out - good news- it was totally free from fed. government ( value $525.00)
5 days of doses- only side effect was metallic taste in mouth- evening of 3 day I could feel a real difference- which kept improving-now I am 3 weeks without symptoms- miracle!!! Brain fog, severe depression, debilitating exhaustion, pain, shortness of breath, r GONE— like I said- nothing short of a miracle for me

I have heard Paxlovid as treatment mentioned before. I will try to access those articles. Once I am able to get into Long Covid Clinic here in San Diego, I will try to discuss all of the experimental options and their safety.
