headaches as a symptom
Mar 6, 2001

I had a high risk encounter a few months ago. About 2 1/2 weeks after the encounter, I started experinecing headache attacks that lasted on and off for 2 weeks. I would experience 1-4 headaches a day, often at night, pain one-sided and lasting about one hour. I have read in your forums that ARS symptoms can resemble viral meningitis. Do these symptoms seem consistent with ARS? Some of the other symptoms you mentioned such as neck stiffness, sensitivity to light, and fever were absent. Thanks again for your good work.

Response from Mr. Kull

Headaches alone are not considered to be the more commonly experienced symptoms in ARS. You should have recurrent headaches checked out by a doctor. Please don't attempt to diagnose your symptoms over the internet.
