Did PAXLOVID also relieve your arthritis and autoimmune symptoms?

Hi, Anne.
I have an appointment with my Rheumatologist on Nov. 16th. I will for sure mention it to her. I'm not sure that they will prescribe it as a daily, long term medication. It's probably like antibiotics. Too much can make bacteria resistant. But... I WOULD like them to be aware of the virus/autoimmune connection. I think it could be important for research.
You take care! Hope you are doing better
Rita

Hey there Rita,
When I mentioned it to my rheumatologist she said she couldn't prescribe Paxlovid unless I had active Covid. She didn't say this, but I think it is illegal for doctors to prescribe Paxlovid "off label" since it still only has emergency authorization and not full approval.

Another person here said they got paxlovid from an online doctor. I don't think I want to go that route since I have had some liver damage.

I appreciate your good wishes. I am not doing well. I'm going to PT, and everything still hurts, and my new LDN has not done anything yet, and my house is a mess, and whine, whine, whine...It's making me frustrated, cranky and depressed. BUT, thanks for your post...makes me feel less alone! I feel a little less useless when I can post something here, in the off chance that it can help somebody else...But the back, hands and eyes have to let me...

Thanks, again! (sorry about the whine. Let's get some cheese and have a party.)
