day 3, upon waking

NO FEVER this morning! \o/ Still feel generally i-have-a-cold-ish and tired, though I slept pretty well last night (okay I woke up at 1:30 and 3:30 but that's not unusual). Also, my voice is funny. Yesterday I sounded like a mafioso, today I'm squawking around like a pubescent boy.

It's also much cooler and more pleasant so I've opened the windows again for airing-out.

ETA: the dread metallic taste is still only occasional and not too intrusive. But, I still have 3 more days of pills to go, so maybe it gets worse.

day 3, midday-ish

Not much to report. Still no fever, hurray, but still best described as Really Bad Cold With Extra Fatigue. (And my ears are blocked up, too.) I perceive I am moving into the "restless, irritable, and frustrated with pace of recovery / incapacity to do anything" phase.

That's the real question, isn't it - does Paxlovid also shorten your recuperation time? I may be "over Covid" by the time this weekend is out, but will I be up to ten days of medieval camping yet?
