And if the Democrats use the Senate filibuster to block any legislation, Mitch McConnell will get rid of it for good. If they take over Congress next year, it will be all distractions, investigations of Biden, his son, his wife, his dog, and probably an eighth Benghazi investigation just because, nothing will get done and they will likely shut the government down multiple times again just for fun. Their sole purpose is consolidating power and turning the US into a Hungarian-style autocracy. They aren't expected to lead, just to "own the libs", and they've managed to insulate themselves from all accountability, where even being arrested of felonies isn't enough to get them to step down from power. Their followers have a daily dose of hate and rage from media owned by billionaires that is designed to keep them angry over cultural issues so they don't notice or care what the Republican leaders are doing. Under their new judges, they have locked the Supreme Court into a conservative death spiral that is ruining the perception of the court. They were unprepared for the pandemic and then let it kill hundreds of thousands ofnpeople in the hopes it was killing more Democratic voters in blue cities. They have gerrymandered every state legislature so Democrats have to win by overwhelming numbers to unseat any incumbents, and they pass laws to make it harder for everyone to vote as they know this favors them. When they had the presidency and both houses of Congress under Trump the very first thing they passed was a massive unpaid tax cut that mostly went to the top 1%. Everything else they do is division and destruction. They don't create anything but tax breaks for the oligarch class so they can make even more money, in hopes that some of it will flow to them. I am very tired/sluggish but that's the only other unusual symptom. Would you go to an urgent care or ER? Do you think it could be COVID despite the negative tests? Is it just some random bug and I'm worrying too much about it? I don't have any respiratory or sinus symptoms, no sore throat, etc. I have headaches more frequently than I don't have headaches and I always have, so I am not particularly freaked out about that and not inclined to have brain scans again (which the telemed DR suggested), but the endlessness of this one combined with nauseousness is weirding me out. I took another ttst yesterday and it was negative. The way the telemed doctor kept asking and suggesting it even though I had had negative tests weirded me out. I'm a little spooked now and wondering if I could have COVID despite the negative tests. I felt a lot better yesterday and went to work but the headache was back by mid-afternoon and it was so bad last night that I dreamed about having a headache, so there was no escape. Since then, two people have told me their head tingled when they had COVID. She didn't want to prescribe a migraine drug but prescribed an old-fashioned antidepressant that is now used for nerve pain. She said she didn't believe I was having a migraine because I am a man in my 40s, and most people with migraines are women and almost all have migraine onset by their 20s, almost never in their 40s. She said she would strongly suspect COVID if the tests were not negative because a lot of people have only a bad headache and/or nauseousness as a symptom. I told her I had taken three COVID tests by three different manufacturers since Wednesday and all were negative. She asked me several times if I thought I had COVID. I told the doctor I thought I had a migraine but don't know if they can persist for so many days. I didn't want to go to an urgent care because of potential COVID exposure, so I did a telemed visit.
My sister, who has migraines, told me it was a migraine. At the time, I also had what people told me was a migraine aura in my right eye. This happened for the first time about a year ago during the pandemic lockdown. On Saturday, the top of my head started tingling. It persisted and by Thursday night, I was getting waves of nauseousness. Last Wednesday afternoon, I got a bad headache.
