    I don’t know man.

    I had COVID like 7 months ago, and that headache was so god damn bad, I thought my head was gonna explode.

    Imagine the worst tension headache you’ve ever had in your life and it won’t go away even with a thousand milligrams of Tylenol. I couldn’t imagine going through that at eighty one years old

      This was the most memorable thing about covid for me besides the fatigue. I rarely get headaches but it gave me the worst headache of my life for a solid week.

        Right? Same with me. I rarely get them too.

        I was tired as fuck and you can’t sleep because the headache is like a vice crushing your head.

          Really? I had COVID three times but no major headaches. I wasn’t feeling well for 2-3 days, but otherwise it was pretty mild.

          Except, the first two cases were then both followed by about 4 months of total depression. That sucked. Just based on that experience I’m still pretty terrified of COVID, though thankfully the third time I didn’t have that.

      It affects different people in different ways.

      I had zero headache, a runny nose (but only my right nostril), was a bit fatigued, and thirsty like a man in the desert for a 1,000 days. These lasted 3 days, the mild fatigue about a week.

      Hell of a birthday week that was!
