Came back as soon as I recovered. Fast forward to Nov 2022 (this whole week) and I got a cold and guess what...almost symptom free. Does this happen to anybody else?

I am recovering from COVID this week. Should have taken both Methotrexate & Humira injection last week but did not due to having COVID. It has been a week overdue and I do not have a flareup which usually by now a flareup would have started. So am hoping to hold off another week before taking my injections keeping fingers crossed I don't get a flareup in the meantime.
Did you take Paxlovid for COVID? I did.

I took Paxlovid week before last Tuesday and last dose Sunday morning. I started to feel better, and worked my full 40 hrs during the first half of week i took a 2.5 hr nap as soon as I got off work. Then Thurs and Fri just rested for a few dosing on and off. But yesterday Saturday night I started feeling like have Covid again. Exhausted too.

I did not. The side effects seemed so much worse than the COVID symptoms. Are you taking it?
