Good Morning Lisa,
It came on as increased food cravings, increased fatigue, nausea, auras (light flashing or prism - color separation), numbness hands and arms (dropped cellphone and tablet a few times), light sensitivity, dizzy, wake up sweating, brain ice pick stabbing and throbbing.
Lasted 10 days.
Relief - stay inside, rest throughout day, triptan, Vyepti Infusion have to wait 3 months for next (had two migraine infusion but they didn't last more than 3 days).

My new normal since 2020, headaches 24x7, poor sleeping (wake up every 1 to 2 hours), fatigue, loss of taste and smell (which is weird when I get the phantom smells - something burning), brain on fire - burning sensation after reading for 30 to 45 minutes or concentrating, throbbing headaches, thirsty, brain fog, tremors internal and hands, depression, dizzy, light headed, motion sensitivity, nausea, eye stutter (and dropped frames when seeing object in motion). I have had tinnitus since 1978 and allergies 1980 - two sinus surgeries 1998 and 2025.

Try to put symptoms in back of mind so I can get anything done, even if it's only one or two things a day.

To clarify on food and loss of taste.
Everything taste like plain oatmeal. Which is making it easier on grocery shopping. I now shop for texture - crunchy, crisp, etc. Apples; Fresh Vegetable Carrots, Green Peppers, Romaine Lettuce; Nuts. I don't dwelling on what I can't do, what can I do (that took four years).
I found out eating a salad recently, what I thought was a green pepper, was a large jalapeno pepper. All I could tell it was crunchy, until my tongue and lips started to burn. I had a good laugh out of that.
