I've been feeling languid with headaches for the past few days. My throat feels strange too and I have pain in my nape. I also have had an insatiable thirst with extreme sleepiness the past few days. Ever since two members of our family were down with Covid a month ago, I have been feeling paranoid about being infected. Usually, when one or two members of the household are down with Covid, everyone else eventually gets it. That is the trend I see.
But there is also another Covid trend that I have observed which is surprising. When all the children and the husband in a family got infected with Covid, the mother was spared despite her taking care of the Covid-zens and not even wearing a mask. I have seen this in my eldest brother's family and two other friends where kiddos and husbands had severe Covid but my SIL and friends were spared.
Today I finally had the courage to do another Covid self-test when my headache and lethargy didn't abate. It's a negative.
With this, I suddenly remembered that I may be experiencing menstrual migraine. I'm also not new to period flu. I had similar symptoms when my AF visited last month and I thought I had Covid. Darn the hormones!

| Nasal swab test result. I find it easier to administer a nasal swab vs. a saliva test. It's torture to collect enough saliva to fill up the test tube. Who's with me on this? |
