I suffered since Aug ‘22 with these symptoms plus several others- was beginning to think life wasn’t worth living if I never got better,
I did a lot of reading of professional medical papers & tried micronutrients that showed possibilities- one ( that I had to get from a pharmacy in Italy) gave me 1 or 2 days per week of some improvement in energy only. May 13 I felt really bad, so went to my plan C- getting a script for Paxlovid as I had read some people had really good results, some only had relief from some symptoms.
I was able to get a teledoc to sent a script to Walgreens- had to wait a few days as it was out of stock but when I got it - cost was $0 as they had told me ( fed gov covers the cost-$525.00) CVS told me that that program ended on May 10, but Walgreens said that wasn’t accurate
5 days of doses (2 doses a day)Only side effect was metallic taste in mouth
Evening of 3rd day- I felt so much better- no brain fog- next day energy started improving as well as pain, depression, & shortness of breath! Miracle!
2nd day after finishing doses- woke up with the symptoms- knew this was the Paxlovid rebound I’d read about so just prepared to wait it out ( I read that when taken for active Covid rebound lasts a few days)
Amazing that very afternoon it went away so it may b different with long Covid
Since then I have become the pre- long Covid me!!! It really was a miracle for me!
