Summary
After a suspected COVID-19 infection in March 2020, they had daily headaches for about ten and a half months, partly eased by Tylenol, along with puffy, tired eyes. Any activity left them really tired a few hours later and sometimes severely fatigued the next day. The symptoms came in waves, with a few good days before they returned.

Their words about each treatment
- Tylenol · Helped
I have headaches daily. Tylenol helps. I take 3 pills morning, at lunchtime, and at dinnertime.

A great trick for this is to fill a clean sock with white rice and put it in the microwave for one minute. Put the sock on your eyes
