Did anyone with Long COVID, take Paxlovid ?

I was wondering, because I had a mild case of COVID, Thanksgiving 2022. I picked up Paxlovid at the pharmacy and didn’t take it because my COVID was relatively mild. Now I have a few long COVID symptoms.

I took paxlovid and boosted like many other long covid sufferers.
I got a “mild” case of covid in dec 22, from my spouse. I have long covid, which includes mast cell activation syndrome. I had a colonoscopy in July. I ended up with systemic inflammatory response syndrome and almost died, and in the hospital for a few days.
It was my 5th colonoscopy- so I was shocked- literally.
Anyway- I went to the Mayo Long covid clinic..and am still a virtual patient.
Yale has a great LC clinic. UNC has a great clinic. Many universities are starting up lc clinics. Research is happening.
They are finding that HIV anti virals may help. Also, they have found that sarscov2 stays in our bodies..which may be the cause of long covid. I follow a bunch of scientists from around the planet- and keep up on covid and lc. Don’t give up hope. I know that some treatment will be available in the future.

For what it’s worth, my long COVID symptoms are considered “mild.” I took the Paxlovid though because I’m immunocompromised, I wanted to minimize my risk of long COVID, and to be honest it felt great to not feel sick while still being technically sick…until I got the rebound case! But studies show COVID rebound is common even without Paxlovid, so it’s a tossup.
