datum (n=1)"There are over 200 different symptoms that can appear in any different combination. And then the other piece about it is there are about six different mechanisms of what can be causing long COVID. So everyone has in common COVID as the thing that started their long COVID. However, there are so many different physiological things going wrong in different people with long COVID, they might require different treatments.""There are actually a lot of great trials going on [...] one looking at mitochondrial dysfunction is Rapamycin, which David Petrino’s group is running.""There’s a few looking at immunomodulation with JAK inhibitors, both the Baricitinib trial by Wes Eli’s group and another JAK inhibitor trial that’s starting at Harvard. Another immunomodulation option is IVIG, which is being run by the NIH RECOVER consortium. This one’s tricky because it’s not super scalable. You have to get the antibodies from people and then infuse them into other people""And then the other mechanism that’s being looked at a lot now is viral persistence, both through a few different monoclonal antibodies trials– Michael Peluso’s, funded by the Patient Led Research Collaborative. Nancy Klimas is just starting one funded by the Schmidt Initiative for Long COVID and the state of California. And then there’s another one in Italy that’s funded by industry, all looking at monoclonal antibodies. And then the last viral persistence one is also being run by the Petrino group on Truvada, which is an HIV antiviral."<a href="https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/paxlovid-long-covid/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/paxlovid-long-covid/</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/@patientled" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@patientled</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/SARSCoV2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SARSCoV2</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/LongCovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LongCovid</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/paxlovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#paxlovid</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/LC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LC</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/PwLC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PwLC</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/PASC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PASC</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/COVID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#COVID</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/COVID19" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#COVID19</a>

Maggie Maybe<a href="https://med-mastodon.com/@MaksiSanctum" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@MaksiSanctum</a> thank you for this information, last year I asked my doctor if I should take this or <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/Paxlovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Paxlovid</a> if I tested positive and he said paxlovid, but the box I have expired in the spring of 2023 I think, and now insurance doesn’t cover it so I’m not sure if I could get a fresh one.

conscientious objector🇨🇭🪂Paxlovid hilft einigen Patienten mit LongCovid. Macht Sinn, denn wir wissen, dass das Virus bei viel mehr Menschen im Körper bleibt, als wir dachten. Die Packung kostet in der Schweiz etwa 1000 Franken. Wird meist nicht durch die Versicherung übernommen. Die Ärzte verschreiben es aber auf Wunsch wenn man einen positiven Schnelltest und LongCovid als Vorerkrankung angibt.

Ducky 🇨🇦<a href="https://mstdn.social/@Leefromphilly" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Leefromphilly</a> I am glad that you are recovering!You said, "[COVID] never went into my lungs; if it had, I definitely would have gone the <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/paxlovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#paxlovid</a> route."Unfortunately, Paxlovid doesn't work like that. It's a *preventative* against severe disease: you have to take it as soon as you know you have COVID, before you know how bad the illness is going to get. :-(

Lee from Philly 🇺🇦Final (hopefully!) <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#covid</a> update.I have a lingering cough and stuffy nose to remind me of my recent – and only 2nd – bout of Covid. My first 2 1/2 days of fever were pretty bad. I didn’t get Paxlovid because of knowing of several people who took it and then relapsed. Just my own personal decision and experience. Fortunately, it never went into my lungs; if it had, I definitely would have gone the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/paxlovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#paxlovid</a> route.I’m so glad I got my booster shot in November!
