My entire head hurt. No joke. From my shoulders to the top of my head.

Same .. My symptoms started with very sharp upper back/ neck pain- then a cough. I have been sick for a week. I’m very tired at the end of the each day and definitely feel out of sorts. So late afternoon and now tonight I have this headache- Tylenol nor ibuprofen nor aspirin have helped. Also my neck still hurts- that has been constant. Take care.

My first symptom was a scratchy throat, and the next one on day three was pounding headache on the sides and top of my head.

I just had COVID for the second time (still do) and it's pretty mild.

The two major things I felt were a headache from pretty intense sinus pressure and a moderately high fever (around 101 F). The sinus pressure headache was a dry one - meaning that I wasn't sneezing or needing to blow mucus out of my nose.

Symptoms lasted about a day and then disappeared almost immediately. This time around I only took two Advil pills to reduce the headache and let the virus run its course the rest of the way. I did get a decent fever overnight but kind of expected that and wanted it. I woke up the next morning dripping in sweat and feeling almost back to 100%.

The first time around, I had similar symptoms but they were much longer lasting (maybe around 4 days). The first time around, I was also taking Advil with much more frequency and I think that may have prolonged it a bit or maybe my immune system was somewhat ready for the second time around.

I tested positive yesterday and the symptoms are much worse than when I had it in 2020. Headache is horrendous very much like a migraine x
