It's often accompanied with the aid of nausea, vomiting, and excessive sensitivity to mild and sound.

For some people, a warning symptom viewed as an air of secrecy takes location until now than or with the headache. An air of secrecy can consist of visible disturbances, such as flashes of mild or blind spots, or different disturbances, such as tingling on one thing of the face or in an arm or leg and concern speaking.
My experience-Did anyone else feel strangely great after COVID?
Note; the first 2 days of COVID were some of the sickest I've ever been in my life. My fever reached above 103 and I thought many times as I battled it down with NSAIDs and tylenol about going to the ER. I couldn't sleep because my bottom teeth hurt so bad (I don't know why), my sinuses were on fire, I couldn't get up and down the stairs of my apartment without heavily panting, I was vomiting, the whole 9 yards. Not endorsing anyone get sick, and given that the results I'm going to describe are only 5 days after my symptoms first appeared and 2 and a half after beginning anti virals, could reverse entirely.
That being said, following those 2 and a half treatments (I am on Molnupiravir, not paxlovid due to multiple medication interactions), other than being fatigued, having a throat red raw from coughing and having not regained my sense of smell or taste yet, I can't remember the last time I felt this good. My typical migraine brain fog has lifted, the tension in my shoulder and neck that are almost always omnipresent if not moved on into outright pain, the 'headache shadow' that follows me, that sensation of when you don't have a migraine but also you feel like one could onset at any moment if that makes sense, etc etc., are all gone. I can't remember the last time I felt this good.
Really makes 0 sense to chalk it up to an antiviral, especially since I wouldn't have had COVID my entire 20+ years of having had chronic migraines. But does it make even less sense to chalk it up to COVID itself? I'm wondering if it's in part due to my lack of smell now, which was a bigger trigger to me before than light or sound, and the only one of my senses that actually functioned correctly. I could smell my parents cutting watermelon open a floor below me with my door closed when I was back at home, my neurologist called it hyperosmia, maybe suddenly having that taken away has just given my brain a chance to rest?
I know most people reported a worsening of symptoms following COVID, but I did want to see if anyone else has experienced something similar following infection?
Again I'm only days out following onset of symptoms but it's odd for me to go this length of time without a headache, especially when I'm sick and would have expected the most to have one.
