Hi jjmboy, (I'm in bad body mode--this might sound rude. sorry in advance)
social media is a great idea!
May I suggest? Please post very specifically that this is about people who already had a diagnosed autoimmune disease/arthritis BEFORE covid and paxlovid AND they got relief from the paxlovid.
People who GOT body aches/autoimmune/arthritis AFTER covid and/paxlovid are a different category.
I don't know how rude it would be to say that if you don't fit into our category, please don't post here. Don't post about any other topic, either. Acknowledge that there are a lot of strong feelings related to the situation (Long Covid, anti-vaxers, pharmaceutical-haters, etc) but not in this post, This is NOT about Long Covid--they are already researching Long Covid, so we need to keep the focus here.
Can you put some kind of link here in Mayo to your social media?
I don't use any social media...too many teachers have gotten burnt, long story.
Please excuse my abruptness today (and to other folks the last few days for not responding)-- ive had a series of bad body days, very tired
Thank you!
No worries dear…you were not rude at all. My social media post does say what you mentioned. I was simply excited and in a hurry on my lunch hour when I posted on here. I do in fact fit into your category. I was diagnosed with an unspecified or mixed (can never remember the difference) autoimmune disease 26 years ago. I have had mild Covid 3 times, and 4 months ago, I took Paxlovid for the first time and noticed complete relief from all of my symptoms which lasted 5-6 days before they all came back. I immediately got online to see if anyone else had the same experience, and I found you guys. I have checked on here frequently and saw the post today about calling Pfizer, so I did! I will see if I can figure out the social media thing for you this evening. Have a good day!
