Symptom narrative

After J&J vaccine, waited 15 minutes, then went to car (husband had driven). Immediate intense frontal headache. Lasted a few days at high intensity, then eased up a bit, but then came back intensely again. 4/21/2021 my primary doctor sent me to the ER where they did an MRI etc. After that, followed up with neurologist (Dr.), and eventually a neurologist specializing in headaches (Dr.). Tried high dose of non-steroid anti-inflammatory with no response initially. Neurologist tried Nurtec, Prednisone (6/2021) with no response. Headache specialist (9/2021) tried Decadron and Gabapentin. Nothing helped. Quit my job as a commercial lender as a result of months of headache with my last working day 2/2022. Headache went away on its own after about a year.
