I used in 2022 . I have autoimmune disease and this was a life saver for me with lupus. I started the medication again yesterday as I have contracted covid once again. So thankful I'm improving after one day.

60 years old, contracted covid a few weeks ago, 3 days in symptoms became quite overwhelming, started paxlovid that evening, symptoms improved within hours with no side effects. Seem to be making a full recovery. I would take paxlovid again without hesitation.

I took my first dose of paxlovid three hours ago and my fever shot up from 98.0 to 103.0. Should I be concerned? Maybe paxlovid is just jump starting my immune system? Fever is good, correct?

I take creatine for bodybuilding. Can this be taken together with the creatine or would that increase kidney stress?

Can a person who had taken a course of Paxlovid and still tested positive take a second course of Paxlovid?
