Additional Context: Warm transfer from #, Paxlovid Call Center IVR, CEP 172086, with consumer already taking Paxlovid, that is concerned because she has underlying issue with her digestive system for a month. She is asking if there is an adverse event while taking Paxlovid with her underlying issue? The caller confirmed the details provided by the transfer agent. She has been having an issue since last Nov and they haven't been able to diagnose it as yet. She has a lot of severe pain in lower abdomen and trouble with digestion. It may mean nothing but she got the booster shot for COVID the day before the holidays and that evening she started getting the severe pain and nausea and whatever. States she ended up spending the holidays and the next two days she was in bed. Whether that has to do with shot, she has no idea. She started taking Paxlovid one full day and night dose so far. She got concerned with her digestive system and she has stage IV cancer and COPD. With her medical history, is there a chance the Paxlovid can be more harmful than helpful? Her severe pain and abdomen with digestive system started before taking Paxlovid, and after receiving the COVID booster. She received her COVID booster on 24Nov2021. If she wants to retest for COVID to see if it's gotten any better, does Paxlovid effect the results of her home test? Patient Details: She weighs #withheld, which has dropped. She's lost weight. Last time she went to the doctor it was #withheld. She's dropped 20 lbs, when she has these bouts she cannot eat since the COVID booster. It is spasmodic. If she eats normal food, she will get the bout it in day or two, lasting 3-4 days where she spends the day in the bathroom and also while going to the bathroom she is vomiting. If there is nothing there to vomit it is usually mucus and water. States she is not vomiting any bile whatsoever, she doesn't think her body is producing bile at this point. She sleeps most of the time when she has it because she has no energy to do anything else regardless other than to deal with the severe pain. Nobody can tell her what is going on. HCP details: Caller does not have a primary care doctor. The Paxlovid was prescribed by her pulmonologist, at # and Critical Care Medicine. HCP email unknown. Event Details: She didn't report at the time because she didn't think the shot did it. Severe pain in lower abdomen: States she had the shot on the 24th and it started late that day and she had it in the morning and it continued for 3-4 days. States it stops and it restarts if she tries to eat normally. If she lives on water, crackers, and soup it doesn't happen. When it does happen it's very severe. It comes and goes. If she starts feeling normal and eats a little bit of food, about a cup of vegetables, mashes potatoes and drinks plenty of water sometimes that works. States but if she goes along 2-3 days she is back in the same thing for another 3-4 days and she has been dealing with it since then. She was in bed all day Thanksgiving and next few days. Spends time in bathroom and vomiting: At the beginning of the bout she gets the very severe pain where she can't sit or stand or anything with pain. With the severe pain she tries to have bowel movements the vomiting begins, so she is doing both. Sometimes it brings up nothing, sometimes fluid. It comes from, the exertion is from her toes and she has a lot of back pain from the muscles. It is so hard to explain. It is hard to say when the back pain began because it's not top priority. She attributes it to when she started straining to vomit, she thinks her back muscles got effected. She has issues with her lower back anyway, any kind of straining or pressure is going to make it worse. It was taken care of when she had shots and basically eliminated it until this started it again. She believes it's the stress on her muscles. It is ongoing, she is at the end of a bout of it right now that has lessoned because she stopped eating. Overall it has worsened.
