Can our doctors call Mayo long haul clinic to guide and help us?

HI arichards3,

I took Paxlovid for an active Covid infection, my second bout of it.
It was not prescribed for Long Covid for me.

The Paxlovid also reduced my autoimmune disease symptoms for a few weeks. It was blessed relief. Two of my doctors told me the same thing: They didn't know why it helped the autoimmune disease so much, and they couldn't prescribe it for any disease other than active Covid since Paxlovid is so new.
Good luck to you!

@annewoodmayo My go forward plan is to never be COVID boosted again. The rules for prescribing Paxlovid have changed (from only when you have COVID to have it available with you) and my tactic when I travel internationally if I come down with a serious case of COVID I will be carrying Paxlovid as a 'pill in the pocket' ready to take wherever I am.

Remains to be seen if my Mayo Doctor prescribes it to 'nuke' any remaining symptoms after completing my Mayo program.
