Lupus and Covid

I've have Lupus and add all my vaccines. I'm 77 and have had Lupus for 20 years. I'm on Day 2 of Paxlovid. I'm having a hard time. Any suggestions?

  1. Hi, !

    I am so sorry you are dealing with an illness (covid?) and that you're not feeling so great right now. Paxlovid usually works pretty well, but you may still experience Covid symptoms. Hopefully, they are mild. If you are still experiencing strong covid symptoms or a reaction to the Paxlovid, please reach out to your doctor and let them know (if you haven't done so already).

    I hope you are doing better by the time you read this!

    1. Thank you. I'm calling the Dr. today as I have Lupus too & am not better.

      1. , I am sorry you aren't doing any better and I hope your doctor was able to offer you some help. Ugh. Living with Lupus is challenging enough. You surely didn't need Covid on top of that!

        I hope you start feeling better very soon!

    2. Thank you!
