OMG I am miserable. I'm on day 4 of covid. I started taking paxlovid late day 3. I'm so glad the doctor encouraged it during my friday virtual appt and he left it up to me and I decided to go ahead because who knows how this is gonna progress over the weekend. I'm still running a 102 fever but the worst part is the sore throat and all the swelling going on in my upper airway/trachea neck area, it hurts so bad. It took me an HOUR to mentally will myself to force down my morning 3 paxlovid pills with warm water and honey and I just woke up from another nap and now I'm trying to force down some ibuprofen and food...hoping the ibuprofen helps with the pain a bit. Every swallow hurts like a hot burning knife. Even talking hurts.
And YES, I am WHINING! I ALWAYS had a gut feeling that I'd get really sick when I caught covid and here I am. Really sick.
