Covid headache and sensitivity to light

[Babyboomtastic]

I've had mild symptoms since Friday night but first tested positive yesterday. Since yesterday my main symptom had been a really bad headache with sensitivity to light and (to a lesser extent) noise.

I'm writing this in a room with a blackout blinds, my phone on minimum light and wearing sunglasses. 😂

For anyone that's had this, how long did it last? Did other symptoms come after or was this 'it' for you? I have a cough but it's fairly mild, and some body aches.

Thanks

I had this and it lasted for 3 days. Accompanied by no appetite, feeling nauseous, temp and coughing up horrible gunk off my chest <sorry>

As the headache has faded (it's not gone now on day 5 but it's not as bad or light sensitive anymore) I've lost my sense of smell and taste.

I found taking paracetamol every 4 hours on the dot, wearing sunglasses, barely moving, having a lolly every so often and making myself sip water has helped.
