Well the last 10 days have been interesting.

Came down with Covid about 10 days ago and as due to living with an autoimmune disease, I am classed as vulnerable which in turn makes me eligible for the new anti viral medication.

The medication consisted of 30 tablets to be taken over 5 days. 3 taken in the AM and 3 taken before bed in the PM.

Yes unfortunately as per all medication side effects were experienced. Upset stomach and a horrible after taste at the back of the throat which only can explain as being metallic taste.

On the main 1st day of having Covid, my hubby was worried as I did not look good or as if I would become better with covid anytime soon. After taking this medication for 2 days, I did feel better in myself but the cough on the chest was still causing issues.

It took until the 4th day of taking this medication for the chest to ease and to have the pleasure of not coughing anymore especially during the evening which was the worst as it effected sleep.

Covid is not a nice experience when you have an autoimmune disease but without having the advantage of being able to take this medication, I feel that it would of taken longer that it has to overcome battling this virus.
