Oh @Nichola75 I don’t believe it and I will be interested what responses you get.
If you have the same symptoms again you must be feeling really rough so please take to your bed, look after yourself and be very kind to yourself. Covid can be nasty and have long lasting after effects, especially with your immune system.
Do you go down the anti viral route again???
Please keep us posted how you are doing xxxxxxx
Gosh @Nichola75 that is a worry. Hopefully it is just a problem with the lateral flow rather than a true positive. I hope the experts can advise on what this can mean.
All the best and hope you get back to more of a normality soon.

Hi @Nichola75,
So pleased you have shared this and I’m so sorry to hear you are still not feeling great. Can i ask how you are feeling today?
Can i also just ask when you had access to paxlovid?
We do know that post paxlovid viral rebound has been documented within other countries and we understand that the MHRA here in the UK are still monitoring this as only a small number have been reported thus far. It is advised to report any suspected symptoms via the yellow card system- Yellow Card | Making medicines and medical devices safer (mhra.gov.uk)
We also know that often antiviral treatments can mean that symptoms do not necessarily worsen but may persist over a number of days after completing your course of Paxlovid.
Can i ask would you say your symptoms have worsened? If so we would, as expected I’m sure Nichola, advise you to seek advise either from your medical team or GP.
Please do let us know how you are feeling over the weekend and call us should you need any support at all, Lauran

Hi Lauren. Thanks for your reply.
Just full of cold and exhausted again but not any worse than last time.
I got Paxlovid on the 16th May - the day I tested positive and finished them last Saturday.
I reported it to Yellow Card yesterday. It will be I interesting to see what the UK finds out after monitoring. No need for GP but if I was worried at all I’d definitely seek medical advice.
Once again, thanks for replying and have a lovely weekend X

How lovely you had a positive experience. I had the infusion and the treatment couldn’t have been given more professionally and supportively.
Getting to the point of treatment was a nightmare as I tested post good few days into illness and nobody in the NHS system seemed to know much about how to access. I’m hoping I didn’t get my treatment too late as still feeling poorly albeit my blood oxygen levels are good.

Same happened to me. I tested negative for 3 days. Only found out with a PCR in hospital when me GP referred me in to be checked over. I had the infusion at home with a nurse and they will go to 7 days in some areas.

Hi Nichola - really useful to read this - thank you so much for posting. My sister who has Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) tested positive on the 16th June and started Paxlovid 2 days later. She too had 5 negative tests after completing her treatment and then felt a bit coldy on day 6 (today). She’s just tested positive again on lateral flow. She’s back in bed and haematology said they’d never heard of Paxlovid rebound. We’ve completed a Yellow card - seems like this might be more common than the 1-2% seen in the clinical trial. Hoping she will not be too poorly over the coming days. Would be useful to know if any other people have noticed anything similar
