Summary
A five-day course of Paxlovid was reported, via a Reddit post relayed on the forum, to have improved eight years of ME/CFS that began after swine flu in the UK. godlovesatrier writes she "got better" and "improved her ME also," judging that "she does seem much improved - sounds like one whole level up at least," hedging with "seems" and "sounds like" since it is a secondhand account. No detail is given on whether the improvement was sustained after the five days ended.
