[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been sick with a virus for three weeks now, much worse than covid.  I had covid last August, took Paxlovid, it was like a mild cold for about a week then gone.  This cold or flu or whatever started as a sore throat, then sneezing and nose blowing, achy and tired, then the cough, kept getting worse, turned into pneumonia, been on antibiotics and steroids for 5 days and am just starting to feel it start to go away.  Still feeling weak and tired and sick.  I'll take covid any day.

I don't understand how OP could have covid at least twice and still be wondering if maybe Paxlovid might help.[/quote]

Op here. I’m so sorry you’ve been so sick! That sounds awful!!! You’ve never been able to figure out what it is?

The first time I had COVID was early in the pandemic and paxlovid didn’t exist. The 2nd time I tried to get it but was unable. I thought the consensus was that it didn’t help very much.[/quote]

What I have is a virus that turned into pneumonia.  I got diagnosed at urgent care when I finally gave up just waiting it out.  As you can see from the comments you have gotten, and was also my experience and my adult daughter's too, Paxlovid made a big difference.  It gives you a weird taste in your mouth but is otherwise totally worth it.  And BTW I tested twice and definitely don't have covid.[/quote]
