I have ulcerative colitis, which is an autoimmune disease. For the last several years I have also suffered from idiopathic neuropathy. While taking Paxlovid I had absolutely no pain. In addition I lost weight without a change in diet. I googled and found that Paxlovid can lower blood sugar. I made an appointment with my PC to discuss whether my neuropathy is related to blood sugar. He rather doubts it, but put me on metformin to see if it helps with my neuropathy. I plan to share this chain with my dr and contact Pfizer and report my experience. I’m glad I found this discussion because it confirms there is something in Paxlovid that can eliminate my pain.
