I have access to it, but so far, symptoms are pretty mild. Will ask my PCP and/or the pharmacist. Either one can prescribe up here.
ETA: Pharmacist ordering it S/B here tomorrow afternoon. Biggest concern so far is that it's bumped my B/P up some 25 points. And I have a frog where I used to have a voice. Last edited by CRussel; 07-18-2024 at 02:06 PM. |

I'm currently doing a test (so far it's negative). My sister had a cold the last couple of days and tested negative. I assume she infected me so I'm not too worried. But better safe than sorry. I've never had Covid, I don't know how I managed that, working in the store throughout the pandemic (yes we took precautions, but still). Get well soon. |

When I got sick in 2022, I applied but never heard back - my province makes it damned impossible to get the stuff unless you fall under very narrow criteria.
Hopefully a mild case! Last edited by ownedbycats; 07-18-2024 at 04:12 PM. |

Me neither. At least one challenge trial has discovered some people have 'natural' immunity. I've never had the 'flu either… nor any adverse reaction to any vaccine.

Well, in this province (BC), pharmacists, nurse practitioners, or doctors can prescribe it, but there are limitations on who they can prescribe it to. I qualify, and the pharmacist ordered it for this afternoon, but I think I'm going to call and cancel it. The cost to me is zero, but the medication is very expensive to the Province and I don't think I'm going to need it. I'm still testing positive, but that line is really faint and I'm already starting to feel better.

In the end, this turned out to be very mild and I saw no reason to use the prescription for Paxlovid that I had. I'm essentially recovered, though I haven't run a test yet this morning to see if I'm clear. |

![]() No. I don't need your bottom shelf identity protection service. Thanks anyway. Glad to hear your first brush with COVID has been very mild so far, Charlie! Last edited by DiapDealer; 07-22-2024 at 09:02 PM. |
