How would THC interact with this medication?

Question

My husband has cerebal palsy, and had a medical marijuana card to help with the symptoms (mainly pain). He normally takes an edible every night right before he goes to sleep. We both have covid and have both been put on this medication due to things that make us high risk- and we wanted to know if he would be okay to take the edible as normal? We saw some posts/comments about possible negative side effects and were hoping someone could give us some information about possible interactions

How long did you test positive with rebound?

I tested negative 2 days after my Paxlovid was done, so day 7 and then rebounded 4 days later with a slight sore throat and sinus congestion. Today is Day 15 (since 1st positive test) and I still am testing faint positive, even though I have no symptoms. It’s wild. Now I’m just testing out of curiosity to see how long I’ll stay positive with the rebound. How long did the rebounders here test positive?

Personal experience with rebound

Fully-vaccinated, Tested positive 3/7. Started Paxlovid the evening of 3/8 (Day 1). First negative test 3/15 (Day 8). Rebound positive test today, 3/21 (Day 14).

Symptom for the first go-around was a high-fever, up to 105 overnight on day 0->day 1. Current symptoms feel like a sinus infection and an inner ear infection on the right side. Along with general fatigue/faster tiring in evenings.

Be careful out there. I would not recommend getting covid, even though these treatments exist. My mind seems ok for now, but the fatigue is real and makes it exponentially more difficult to keep moving.

Stay safe and best of luck

Day 3 of paxlovid

Getting the itchy/rash/bumps on my back. Should I stop taking or keep going? Muscle soreness is gone but have a slight cough left.

Alcohol after Paxlovid?

Question

Started having symptoms of covid 5 days ago, and tested positive the day after. I have been quarantining since and have been symptom free since yesterday! My last dose of Paxlovid is tonight. My spring break trip was scheduled for this week and I’d hate to miss it with my friends.

3 questions:

1.) Would drinking the day after my final dose be detrimental to my health or the effectiveness of Paxlovid?

2.) Would I be taking a chance of spreading it to others? According to my doctor, you are asked to quarantine for 5 days after developing symptoms (Today would be the fifth day)

3.) Would going out one night have an affect on the long term implications of Covid? We leave the next morning and I plan on taking the rest of the week after easy. I was diagnosed with Long Covid after my first time dealing with it a year-1/2 ago, so I’ve been very careful to rest during the quarantine process.

Thanks!

On dose 5 of Paxlovid - feeling pretty bad.

Third time getting COVID. Started Paxlovid on day 2 of testing positive / starting symptoms of COVID. Was feeling a little better after first dose of Pax, but boy, last night was pretty brutal with chills/fever after dose 4. Should I stop taking Pax? I’m not sure if it’s making it worse or helping. I remember these similar symptoms when I caught COVID the first time (unvaccinated; before vaccines were available).

I feel better like 4-5 hours into Pax. The first couple hours and the last couple hours I feel like shit. Anyone else experience the same?
