Did the Covid Vaccine Give Me Covid Brain?
The vaccine seems to have permanently impacted my brain, is this typical?
I used to never get headaches. I’ve gone basically the entirety of my 42 years on planet Earth without this affliction that affects so many others on a routine basis, and for that I have been lucky. Yes, occasionally I’ve had a headache brought on by the obvious causes: lack of caffeine, hangovers, over-exertion during hot summer days. And when I was younger, I would sometimes get migraines due to my horrible vision.
But these were all fairly rare occurrences, and easily diagnosed and treated. Until recently. Now, I am suffering through headaches on a daily basis. My brain and my perception feels fogged, in a perpetual state of wooziness, and on the cusp of a migraine building behind my eyes. I have trouble thinking clearly, recalling information, and focusing on my surroundings. I actually feel mildly drunk.
Even writing this down is a struggle for me, because while words used to come fluidly to my mind, now I am having to really concentrate to find the phrases I am looking for. I’m eating ibuprofen and acetaminophen like candy, and it barely puts a dent in it. What changed, you ask? I got the Covid vaccine.
