For those that have had covid and got over it, did you ever have horrible migraines? I got covid probably a month ago and after 2 weeks I started feeling better except the headaches. A month later I still get them every day and they’re probably the worst ones I’ve ever had.

Went back to the my doctor a week ago and he proscribed 600mg ibuprofen. They seem to work but as soon as they wear off it’s back to having them. I drink a ton of water and I’m in good shape. Would be nice if they’d go away for good. Anyone else had the same thing?

I got married in 2010 and have had headaches since then. I think marriage is worse.

Could be Havana syndrome.

You could be entitled to long term disability.

Yes, same thing with me. Headaches were prevalent long enough after I recovered from Covid that I went to my Dr. to have blood pressure checked. BP was fine. It probably took 2-3 weeks before I started to have better days. They eventually went away but I just took Excedrin or Ibuprofen each day until they went away.

Probably just from having to deal with other people again.

Wait hold up, you mean to tell me you have long term impacts that effect your quality of life?

Shut the front door.

Yep, First time I had covid they lasted about 3 weeks. Im pretty sure I had it a second time but never got tested and it was the same thing with headaches. They seemed to start every afternoon and last until I went to bed and tylenol did nothing to relieve it.

Weak sauce. That ain’t helping a headache. You clearly went to urgent care as that is their go to for headaches.

Excederin should work much better.

sounds like a sinus infection and not migraine. get antibiotic. ibuprofen won't help much.

Yep! Migraines every afternoon until bedtime. For the first 2 weeks it was daily, but for the following month and a half they were less frequent until they went away all together. Excedrin was the only thing that helped. Advil wouldn't touch it.

I had a non-stop headache for 21 days. Nothing I took helped in any way.
