I felt what was an allergy a few days before Mother’s Day. On Mother’s Day I got THE Headache and a cough! I rarely get headaches. The next morning I tested myself and was positive. I did it again because I couldn’t believe it. I called my Dr., he prescribed Paxlovid. I picked up the meds, gloved and masked and started them. The medication is free. I was pretty sick during the night. I woke up Tuesday morning and was 90% better. I was elated! I had the vaccine, but it was expired. I did not take the boosters. I never had Covid and was scared to death to get it. I am over 70, have autoimmune thyroid and have asthma. Dr. told me I can take it if I get Covid again. So let’s stop letting this disease run our lives. I had no side effects from Paxlovid, but it does taste nasty. I’ll take nasty over sickness anytime! I am grateful and relieved to be rid of the fear of this virus.
