Thank you!
I contacted my PCP and asked if it is recommended to take Paxlovid. I was told that most of the doctors at The Villages Health are not recommending it. The drug is contraindicated with most drugs that seniors take, including cholesterol medication. I was also told that Paxlovid is taxing on the kidneys and liver. I said, "No thank you. I don't want to take it."
Tonight I feel perfectly fine. My onset of symptoms was a sore throat that lasted about 15 minutes. No lie.....15 minutes. Then I developed a very occasional dry cough the following day. I knew I had something and was hoping it was just a cold. This Covid virus variant is actually less than a cold for me.
