After receiving my vaccine I got your normal symptoms.  A few days later the headache came back and never went away. I didn?t think much of it until a couple of weeks later whenever it began to affect my vision. So I went to go get my eyes checked and got new glasses and new lenses. That still didn?t work. It continued to do the same thing and the headache wouldn?t go away so then I went to get my lenses changed because I thought maybe it was the lenses but it was not the lenses. My PCP then sent me for an MRI and I had a CT but those were clear. About a week and a half later I was having a really sharp pain in my head that I had never had before so I went and asked again and told him that this pain was just not normal because I?ve never had it before.

I?m only 38!
