Describe your Covid headache

The last couple of days I have had a bit of a headache coming up from the base of my skull,so like it's coming from my neck although my neck feels okay.
I get lots of migraines normally but they don't feel like this.
I don't want to waste a lat flow as they're in short supply.
Can people who have had Covid let me know what the headache is like?
Thanks.

My covid headache, is a thick, foggy, dizzy head, rather than pain. More like a light aversion and lightheaded.

Dull and around my temples and back of neck

A chemical headache, similar to if you have smelt too much bleach or cleaning fluids.

DS said he had a headache coming up the back of his head. Am about to test him. Is this a symptom I wonder? There are so many.

My (Delta) headache was a dull pain towards the back of my head. I get headaches fairly often but it felt very different with Covid. My normal headaches are more painful but painkillers deal with them. The Covid headache was more annoying than anything else but painkillers didn't seem to affect it. I think it hung around for about 3-4 days.

Thanks guys, I've just tested clear again... the Omicron symptoms now listed are so wide ranging I can think I am coming down with it most days!
Hope those with it are feeling better soon.
