[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, the first time I got COVID in May 2021 I took Paxlovid and got a terrible rebound. It was worse than the initial infection.  I don't know if it was the COVID or the Paxlovid but even after I was feeling better I had terrible stomach trouble and loss of appetite that took almost two months to resolve. I got COVID in May 2023 and it was a much milder infection, I did not take Paxlovid and was better within a week or two. I think it really is a gamble but given my experience with Paxlovid I will not take it again unless there is more evidence to show it prevents long covid or they fix this terrible rebound situation. I am 44 with two kids and live a very busy life. The whole experience in May 2021 really F'd up my entire summer. On the plus side I lost 10 pounds but that is the only positive. I probably had no business taking paxlovid in the first place. It doesn't sound like they have a whole lot of scientific proof that Paxlovid helps low risk people at all.[/quote]

Paxlovid wasn't available in May 2021. But that was a really cool story anyway.[/quote]

Wow you people on here are terrible. Sorry whoever this is...I made a mistake. It was May 2022. Very interesting you assume I am just telling a "story" rather than putting the wrong date. You are a piece of work.[/quote]
