Is there a headache virus going around?

I'll get to the GP next week. But I'm day 6 of a headache today and just wondered if anyone else had a persistent headache caused by a bug? Last couple of days I've managed to get on top if it with paracetamol but it always comes back. Apart from some general muscle pain and feeling low in mood, no other symptoms. I'm not a headache person and have never had something persist like this without any other flu symptoms.

I had this last week as did some colleagues. We put it down to hay fever/sinus stuff but maybe it was viral.

This was doing the rounds round here a few months ago. Bloody awful and ibuprofen wouldn't shift it.

My OH had it, constant headache for about two weeks, GP said it was a virus. Co Codamol helped him a bit but it will (eventually!) go away on its own.

Yes, my dd has it and so has my neighbour

I seem to get this in the spring most years. Been let off lightly so far this year

Mine feels like a full head. Sinus pressure too.

Can't stand the thought of this for another week! Day 8 today. Thanks for replies and hope others feel better soon.
