I started out raising awareness on Twitter/X, and I’ve had such great conversations with all of you where people have shared really awesome info in response!

3/29/24: Beginning my personal antiviral trial for Long Covid

Just met with a doctor who's prescribing me multiple antivirals for #longcovid. Beyond disgusted with our govt for providing no warning and no treatments.
Honestly I urge anyone considering antivirals to start now. My doc said I might have made things worse by waiting.

Hey everyone, I have a bittersweet update on my personal trial of antivirals for #longcovid.
The good news: I had dramatic improvement in 2 days. I'm convinced antivirals are my answer.
The bad news: Due to side effects, these aren't the right meds for me. 1/
