This is wonderful to hear! So happy for you. Can you briefly describe what symptoms you had. Seems there are several "types" of long covid and I am wondering if I should try Paxlovid for my type.
Thank you.

I’m so happy stanwink had a good result with Paxlovid. I also managed to get a prescription online. Unfortunately for me I guess just too much time had passed since the infection (about 8 months). My understanding is that in the study groups Paxlovid is given for at least 15 days. Three times the length given (five days) for an early detection.
Anyway I’m so glad it worked for you.
Acyclovir is another antiviral that works for some people. Many people have it in the medicine cabinet already for herpes outbreaks. It’s worth a try if you have some. I tried that too, and it did not work for me. It is being studied for long Covid treatment. Protocol starts at 400mg 2Xper day, then 3x etc.
This is an older antiviral and some GPS might help you try. It’s worth a shot.
Good luck everybody.
