Thanks all. So far it's been manageable and not too bad. Just like a normal flu. I've been taking Tylenol every 7-8 hours to keep the fever and aches and pains at bay. The Paxlovid is three pills in the morning and three at night. Just took my second morning dose. It's for five days total. I'm getting this acidic taste at the back of my throat that apparently only 6 percent of the population experiences from the Paxlovid. But it's not too horrible and seems to go away with time after each dose. I read that it's just a temporary thing while taking the medicine.

Hmm.. Are you sure the Paxlovid isn't laced with LSD?

In my first bout I lost all smell and taste. You have any of that?

Hope you're back to feeling normal soon! Watch out for any strange symptoms that pop up afterward, though. I developed chronic venous insufficiency afterward, which my doctor had never even heard of as a complication.

Thanks! Wow. I don't even know what that is.

Basically it means your veins have a harder time pushing your blood back up your legs, and you start getting symptoms in your feet and legs. I’m sure Saucy could explain it better lol.

Wearing compression socks helps, but that's about all I can do for now.

Got it. I've had blood clot issues way back on long flights and actually wore compression socks up to the knee on my recent trans Atlantic flights.

How are you feeling a week into it?

I’m sick after attending a festival over the weekend, so I’ll probably test tonight—hoping I didn’t get it a second time!

Glad you're feeling better Bone and hope you don't get it Jeremy... My oldest just started his first year at college and picked up covid. He got meds yesterday (Paxlovid was one of them) and he's feeling a ton better already today. Whatever the cocktail was they gave him is really helping.

Did they lessen the eligibility requirements for Paxlovid? I know last December I wasn’t eligible for it, but it seemed to help my parents have a milder/quicker case.

Must have... He didn't have any issue getting it from the urgent care up by NAU in flagstaff. I didn't realize there was an eligibility thing with it. God forbid you get it again but if you do it sounds like you should be able to get it this time.
