There's a weird mystery virus going around my city that isn't either covid or the flu, but it's pretty brutal. I've pretty much been taking naproxen 3x a day for this crap so I can still function and not lay in bed all day. Went to Urgent Care yesterday because it wasn't getting any better after three days and I couldn't figure out what it was based on the symptoms.
Basically I've had the worst headache in my life; it's especially bad overnight; head feels packed like it will burst, and the throbbing is so severe that it temporarily blocks my hearing when it pulses back and forth. I rarely get headaches other than occasional mild caffeine related ones, so this has opened my eyes to what people who experience migraines might go through.
They ruled out migraine though; I'm too old for the typical onset age. I've also had significant fatigue, nausea, some general body aches...the doc at Urgent Care explained the mystery virus is like the flu, but without as many respiratory symptoms except sore throat sometimes. I haven't had any respiratory symptoms, but my son has (cough, runny nose).
The good news is...most of y'all live in Ohio, and I'm in Missouri, so you may not be getting it over there. This thing has definitely made me more sympathetic to headache sufferers.
