I’m so sorry they’re experiencing this. I had the same thing happen to me with the booster and also the 2nd vaccine, along with some other old covid symptoms. The headaches eventually went away but it took at least 3 weeks for me. They’re excruciating and I really feel bad for your child. Not fun. Did you ask a Dr for advice? Maybe some medication would help? I hate to say it but nothing helped mine and I spent a lot of time in bed. I’m seriously considering not getting anymore vaccines or boosters due to my hyper immune response I get that lasts 3 months. Good luck and I hope something helps.

Yes we have seen many doctors, none of the medicine that neurologists gave her helped. It is almost 3 months now. We have had many diagnostic tests that didn't show anything. We now found an integrative Dr. who checked her cytokines and the ones that are high have to do with vascular inflammation at the cellular level and they are treating it with same protocol as long covid but no relief yet. They advised her to never get a cover booster again due to the adverse effect, it could be very dangerous. Your Dr. can provide a note stating so. I am hoping that it will go away. Thank you for your response.

How awful for her. It’s devastating being powerless and in pain, especially since she was trying to do the best thing for her health by getting a booster. It sounds like you’re in an area where she can get good medical care but I’m sorry nothing is working. I did the same, going to my neurologist (I get migraines a lot) and nothing helped. I even had a brain MRI it was so bad. It finally went away but since I contracted covid, in February 2020, the headaches have been worse. Thank you, I’m definitely going to get a letter from my Dr to excuse me from another booster if need be. I’m really scared of getting covid again so it’s pretty anxiety producing. I caught covid at the beginning of the epidemic (2/20) and absolutely no one knew what was wrong with me. There were no tests yet and I had never been so sick in my life. I really hope she gets better soon because I know how debilitating headaches can be, especially these. Good luck 🙏🏻

Yes thank you, that is the protocol she is now on.

Ever since my 2nd Covid booster shot (Pfizer) in April of 2022 I've had a chronic, unyielding daily headache and general malaise and lack of well-being. Numerous MRIs and Neurology doctor visits has shed no light on the problem. Only pain killers were suggested. I tried the suggested Topamax, but the pain got worse, and it affected my eyes. I want a solution, not a pain killer. Anyone experience this type of thing after your Covid booster shot? I'm approaching 2 years with this debilitating, all day long, daily pain.
