Second time in my life I have a positive #COVID #COVID19 test.
And I _THOUGHT I SHOULD HAVE MASKED AND I DIDN'T_
Oh well. At least I have a prescription for #paxlovid this time, but I don't think I can get it filled before Monday...
In case anyone is wondering why I only posted pictures from day 1 of #Stormbringer , I tested positive for #COVID on Saturday June 14 and didn't make it to day 2.
Getting #Paxlovid on the same day I started showing symptoms made a huge difference in my symptom severity. If you feel at all sniffly or unwell, don't be afraid to test! There are plenty of tests out there!

Pfizer's 2025 guidance remains firm despite challenges. Cost-cutting is a key focus, with a projected $7.7 billion saved by 2027 amid declining Paxlovid sales. First-quarter earnings exceeded expectations at 92 cents per share, but revenue fell short. Ongoing tariffs and policy uncertainties loom. CEO Bourla emphasizes readiness through strategic planning.

Paxlovid may cut risk of strok...
Your govt at work:Paxlovid Medicare with Medigap Insurance: $263. With GoodRX: $1,500. Before the Covid crisis was declared over: Nil. Feels like they'd just assume we die.
Government efficiency, my ass.

Researchers have developed an oral antiviral drug candidate for #COVID19 that could overcome major limitations of #Paxlovid, currently the most prescribed oral treatment.

"Covid Protocol" goes like this:
Sick person isolated in room, block door with towel, only come through rest of house with #N95 briefly. Tray table outside door for food drop off. Disinfect everything.
#paxlovid ASAP for sick, lower #covid damage.
Heater off, open windows, box fans in windows to make positive pressure in main house, negative pressure in sick room, dumping sick air out bedroom window.
Constant air flow.
Yes, we fucking freeze.
All-clear when RAT clear, and nobody sick.
"There are over 200 different symptoms that can appear in any different combination. And then the other piece about it is there are about six different mechanisms of what can be causing long COVID. So everyone has in common COVID as the thing that started their long COVID.
However, there are so many different physiological things going wrong in different people with long COVID, they might require different treatments."
"There are actually a lot of great trials going on [...] one looking at mitochondrial dysfunction is Rapamycin, which David Petrino’s group is running."
"There’s a few looking at immunomodulation with JAK inhibitors, both the Baricitinib trial by Wes Eli’s group and another JAK inhibitor trial that’s starting at Harvard. Another immunomodulation option is IVIG, which is being run by the NIH RECOVER consortium. This one’s tricky because it’s not super scalable. You have to get the antibodies from people and then infuse them into other people"
"And then the other mechanism that’s being looked at a lot now is viral persistence, both through a few different monoclonal antibodies trials– Michael Peluso’s, funded by the Patient Led Research Collaborative. Nancy Klimas is just starting one funded by the Schmidt Initiative for Long COVID and the state of California. And then there’s another one in Italy that’s funded by industry, all looking at monoclonal antibodies. And then the last viral persistence one is also being run by the Petrino group on Truvada, which is an HIV antiviral."

@MaksiSanctum thank you for this information, last year I asked my doctor if I should take this or #Paxlovid if I tested positive and he said paxlovid, but the box I have expired in the spring of 2023 I think, and now insurance doesn’t cover it so I’m not sure if I could get a fresh one. I’m going to drop this link in the portal for him.

After 5 years of fighting to not get #COVID, wearing masks, not eating indoors, etc. I finally tested positive after my dad’s funeral.
I’ve had every vaccine and booster and so far the symptoms are very mild. 72 hours after exposure:
- Chills; but no fever.
- Body aches
- Slight soar throat
- Little appetite
Not a candidate for #Paxlovid even with #UC since I’m not on an immunotherapy.
I’m hoping it passes quickly.

Jut, jut... Rebound-Effekt nach #Paxlovid.*
Was wissen wir darüber? 😬
(Mein Stand bisher: Es soll mild(er) sein. Symptome bekämpfen, nicht erneut Paxlovid. Richtig? Falsch? Bitte Quellen.)
*War klar, dass ich das auch wieder abgreife, wa?
Paxlovid hilft einigen Patienten mit LongCovid. Macht Sinn, denn wir wissen, dass das Virus bei viel mehr Menschen im Körper bleibt, als wir dachten.
Die Packung kostet in der Schweiz etwa 1000 Franken. Wird meist nicht durch die Versicherung übernommen. Die Ärzte verschreiben es aber auf Wunsch wenn man einen positiven Schnelltest und LongCovid als Vorerkrankung angibt. (Nen bissle telefonieren, vielleicht verschreibt es erst der Dritte)
Omg.
An elderly family member is in the ER for a fall. This person is 83, has Parkinson's Disease, and is a lifelong smoker. While in the ER, they tested positive for covid.
Their caregiver requested #Paxlovid and reports, "The doctor that was here was like we don't prescribe that and it doesn't work. That is exactly what she said."
🤯 ?!?!
