- My experience with COVID and inflammation/headaches - Part 4
After 100+ days I finally got some relief and want to share with my friends and fellow COVID-19 sufferers that are looking for answers
I forgot to mention the cardiac issue that continues. My heart rate will still spike out of nowhere and that wipes me out immediately like I’ve just run hills prints ... but a cardiologist cleared me saying nothing is wrong and I could live with this forever as long as the headaches are gone!
I just went through the headache phase of covid. I only had approximately 14 days of this kind of head pain. I thought I could ride it out. It was only after I began taking an antibiotic and steroid that it went away after 36 or so hours. I too, received the gift a life perspective shift of gratitude. I told my Father in heaven that wanted the pain to go away but that I would wait on Him to show me what I must learn. And HE MOST CERTAINLY DID.❤
What was did He tell you to do? What was the remedy?
Hello. Good u got better. What exactly drug did u take.
Did your headaches then stop completely?
@@susanadozal yes. I fell asleep and woke up with my sheets and pillow completely soaked in sweat with my headache gone
@@neemo2740 I learned to wait on Him and trust Him in all things
Thank you so much for sharing your story. Having Covid also reminded me that health and family are number one priorities in my life. I have been suffering from these frontal lobe constant achy headaches since Covid and can’t find relief. I already see a neurologist for another issue but thank you for suggesting seeing someone who specializes in “headaches” that totally makes sense. I hope all is going well with you and your family. Take care
How are you
I watched this to get some ideas for my best friend who is having headaches after COVID and I'm glad you found something that works. I'll give her these ideas of what worked for you. Maybe she can get her headaches under control as well.
I always find it strange when I hear people say they would take their child's pain and be in pain forever because in order to be the best parent you can be you have to be in good shape yourself. This is why on flights the flight attendant always says if anything happens put the oxygen mask on yourself first before your child. You don't have to lay yourself down as a sacrifice to prove your love to them. It's not an "either or" predicament. You're more than just a vessel, but worthy of comfort and happiness in your own right. You deserve to be pain free as much as your child does.
I think COVID has taught many people what's really important in this lifetime and it has many more to teach before the fog lifts. I'm glad you're better and that you are happy and loved. Know that you are worth it always.
Videos like this give me hope. For 16 years I’ve had chronic migraines, last 3 years they’ve been in control. Then I got Covid, and prayed for my head. I’m still dealing with the migraine. But it’s improving. Your tears are SO real. They are SO shared and felt, with everyone who’s going through migraines and migraines with Covid. It REALLY speaks for how precious life is, and how fast it can change.
in tears waking up to this video, thank you so much. as my 3rd appointment to a new nurologist is being made , I've had this traumatic migraine for 5 months now, im 23 years old. never have been through anything like this. following up with appointments and in tears 7 days a week. having trouble walking , vision , losing my hearing.
not sure exactly how I can reach different neurologist with out having to go myself or even wait for a new day. I've been out of work for months now and am extremely scared of all symptoms that have been following with this .
thank you so much, thank you
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Am going through the same exact symptoms 😢
Have your migraine improved?
Same here...! Did you have any vision issues with migraine? I developed light sensitivity, and also aura and streaks around bright lights.
@@dawnleygrant2537 Same here...! Did you have any vision issues with migraine? I developed light sensitivity, and also aura and streaks around bright lights.
Six months in since covid, I still have migraines/headaches. My GP put me on steroid nasal sprays and antihistamine tablets in the first 4 months and that did nothing for me. I also saw an ENT specialist and he confirmed that my sinuses are in great condition. My pain is not constant, but definitely there at least 3-4 times a week, especially in the mornings. Hopefully there's a solution to this horrible disease. I'm starting acupuncture next week as I've heard that helps with headaches but now looking to see a neurologist as a back up! Oh thank you Amber for sharing this, it's made me want to book an appointment with a neurologist instead of just relying on acupuncture. I'm 27, super healthy and fit and have never experienced any health issues so hearing your story about life shifting resonates with me. Sending everyone love x
Hey Amber, how are you feeling these days? Have the headache completely gone for you?
hey syamin and also Amber question for you....has your guys headache gone away or still there? I have had head pressure for 9 months now...it's not a headache though it feels like my nerves on side of head and temple area are pressured. Amber did the nerve block completely take away the pain now or how's that's treatment going...please let me know all that has helped you thanks!
@@OmarGonzalez-qj6lv Hey Omar, no it has not completely gone. It's a bit better... for sure. I've started acupuncture, hoping that helps with my nervous system to help heal the post viral infection. Feel free to follow me on instagram @mimsoysauce, would be good to see how you progress as the feeling you're describing is similar to mine.
Accupancture is great, but be careful with nosal spray steroids. They can give you headaches and migrenes. I learned the hard way. All the best
Are u ok?
Who would've known that Botox would be the answer to your migraines?! I've learned that anti-histamines help with the heart & heading pounding. I, too, see life differently now, knowing how precious it is, how quickly it can be taken away in an instant. Thank you for your video and being so real.
God bless! So glad you and your son are well!
I am going thru Covid headaches now and I feel horrible! Can’t read, can’t watch tv and having body shakes. This makes me look forward to feeling better. God is good and heals us! I am grateful for each day God gives me to wake! Take care and enjoy your family.
Botox here I come lol
Thank you 🙏
Just to update you on my progress, the Botox works wonders but has been wearing off at the 7-8 week mark so I just did an occipital nerve block yesterday. I plan to make a follow up video this weekend
@@amberostasik8459 ok thank you for sharing
❤ thank you sooo much for your videos! IM SUFFERING VERY BADLY. IT HURTS SO BAD! ive never heard of this and here i am living it.
I took 3 shots of complex B plus dexamethasone is what made me 70 % better. I was taking every form of aspirin to help me cause it was hurting so bad but they didn’t do much
they say take 5 shots of complex b would be better but I didn’t want to push it more
2 years of nerve pain back of head, brainstem, numbness in face, brain fog, splitting headaches.
Nurologist told me to take a hike... Told me to see a pain doctor.
Thank you for sharing this info! I have a friend still suffering from severe headaches after recovering from Covid-19.
I hope your friend recovers soon
Glad you and your son are well. Thank u for sharing. Been struggling 3 weeks now with headache since Covid. It’s true we have nothing if we don’t have our health. God bless all of you!
Are you still dealing with headaches?
How many weeks, days, or months after diagnosis did you start the headaches?
Try the low histamine diet. Also for everyone suffering long covid especially if you had a mild case and didn’t go to a hospital have an executive checkup coz you’ll never know if your organs have been badly affected by the virus.
I am about 150 days post covid now and the headaches were 2-3 a week and now a constant headache. NOTHING is working so I am thankful you posted this.
Finding a headache specialist is the answer. It didn’t stop there but my Dr has helped me find the right combo of medications for me. Good luck
I feel ur pain hunn, I been feeling the same way for the past 2 weeks this migraine feels different from the other ones. I pray to God it goes away because is I’m going insane. Idk what to do . As it is I take migraine medication but is not working for me.
God bless you ur son n family. My prayers for u . Take care n I’m happy you were finally able to control the pain. I hope to God this goes away .
Hopefully you get some relief soon!
Did you find any relief? I tried sumitriptan and it didn’t work for me. I’m on amitrypline and it took some of the pain away but I’m still not feeling 100% I started getting migraines after Covid and my neurologist is trying different medications on me.
@@amberostasik8459 thank you hunn, thanked God it’s controlled now. How are you feeling?
@@briancortez4701 I’m very sorry to hear that, I started Botox for migraines right now. Talk to ur neurologist maybe u can get them . I really understand how u feel Brian. I’m so sorry I really pray to God u get well soon. My prayers wish I n everyone the best. God bless
@@ChellyCupCake41 thank you for your kind words. I was having a really bad migraine and felt like throwing up for no reason all day for the past week but now I feel a lot better. I’m not gonna give up and I’m going to bring up the Botox again! Thank you for sharing and god bless
Anyone has headache with blocked nose?
I'm so glad you're feeling better. Praise God he has healed you. ❤❤
My cousin recently contracted Covid 19 from her husband and is suffering from debilitating headaches. I saw online that she shouldn't take tylenol as it may make it worse...can you suggest anything she san do to help? She is waking up in the middle of the night screaming. I'm in Toronto and it breaks my heart to see my cousin suffer so much.
Unfortunately she is Srilanka where the whole country is going through a rough time with no room in the hospitals. Can you get the botox before you recover from Covid...not sure if they even have it in Sri Lanka. Any advice would be appreciated...thank you and God bless you.
Biological warfare
Came upon your video. So glad I did. Stay safe & healthy. God bless.
You found your purpose in Life after all the suffering.
May God continue to bless you and your family! Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Sending you lots of love🤗
I’ve been having the headache for 2 years now. Recently had my 4th round of botox and still suffering.
😭 I am going through the same thing but with my elderly mother and myself battling Covid-19’s at the same time. Not sure how to began to address this
I am on day 72 post covid. Still a constant headache. Sonetimes its so bad i could call an ambulance. Today i got immitrex. I took my first pill. If no relief im going to a neurologist.
Did you feel better after?
Thank you so much
I took magnesium picolinate (2 capsules of 260 mg). Some people say himalaia salt is also doing the trick.
I am feeling very painful after COVID facing insomnia fear anxiety depression chest pain please reply what solution 🙏
hello amber, just wanted to follow-up, i am at 2.5 years with long covid now and i still have head aches and head pressure as well as heart palpitations. By any chance did your headeaches fully go away along with the cardiac stuff or are you still dealing with those symptoms?
Hi thanks for this. It’s a bit of a mystery. May I ask was the Botox primarily in the shoulder (trapezius). I have a theory that covid causes chronic myalgia (muscles tightness) in the muscles. How how you going? Thanks 🙏🏼
God bless you
Hi , thanks for sharing this , so helpful to think I am not alone, had Covid in December, didnt suffer badly , recovered well in Jan/Feb , then it seems to be just when I think I am getting over it , start some minor exercise and then bang , a few hours later , intense headache lasts for days, just want to move on with my life , but cant, have Neurologist appointment next month, I hope he can help swiftly.
I hope you get answers soon! Seeing my neurologist for the first time was a huge turning point
@@amberostasik8459 Hi , update after seeing a Neurologist , he thinks my issue is most likely to be Migraine related rather than covid , although covid may have triggered the migraine switch on , but stress is more likely, anyway we are planning a head MRI to rule out anything more sinister , and then the migraine treatment begins , he reckons he should be able to cure me in around 9 months, I will update you on my progress.
@@neilbarford2456 hey there can i ask what migraine treatment you got given, i have the same issue as you
@@alextellio1230 Hi Alex , the treatment given was 2 x100mg of Riboflavin (B2) per day increasing to 2 x200mg per day after 2 weeks , for 2 months, however this caused stomach issues for me so i was unable to increase the dose , so still suffering and going back to see the doc again so, i think he will suggest Amtripyline next but i am not keen , good luck , i think we are here for a while yet , probably just 'time' will fix this rather than medication.
@@neilbarford2456 have things got better for you?
Yes, I'm going through this stupid headache issue now!!! My husband's only lasted one day.. why is mine hanging on?!? So frustrating! Glad you found help
Hopefully one day I can to recover from all everything Covid left I wish Thursday to come so so much
Im at the end of covid and i have been getting BAD migraines 😩 no medicine helps. The only thing that helps is an ice pack on my neck and taking a nap 😩 some days i didnt get one but some days i do.
Im hoping they dont linger for so long. Im barely testing negative today.
Thank you for sharing. Definitely gonna bring this up to my doctor at my next appointment if headaches are still an issue.
I took complex B with dexamethasone in Intermuscular jab honestly it did wonders I was taking aspirin like m&ms with out help dexamethasone is a esteroide with vitamins b helps I promise cause I was going crazy with weakness and brain fog
Hello I’m having weakness and brain fog headaches too ! Where did you get it or which one?? Please help
I get headaches every day...
Non stop.
Some severe some moderate but always here.
I tested positive with the Omicron,13 days after I retested and was negative one week after that test ,these headaches come😭,with fluctuating slight fever,it's scary
Big hug...God bless you and your family.
It's like the nerds we picked on 30 years ago, finally got their revenge on the Jocks. LOL. they finally figured out a way to kill us all.
How long did it take for headache to go away?
Praise The Lord on your boy. It really SUCKS to go through things and then have a tragic event. Trust me i know.
I'm definitely going to be seeking a neurologist soon if these post-covid headaches won't go away.. I am absolutely miserable.. thank you so much!
Did anything help?
Have they gone away ?
I'm so glad I found this. I'm in tears right now. I'm not alone. Everyday is terrible. I saw a neurologist. All scans and bloodwork just came back fine. I knew it would. I have to have a follow up with her now. Have anxiety because my sleep test came back bad. I also knew that would because my sinuses have been bad forever. Worried that she will blame the headaches on that even though I've had the sinus trouble for years and daily headaches since the covid. I heard a lot of people say to recommend botox . Sounds like they want to put you on all the pills first before they try botox? Should I say okay to the pills first, if that is what is suggested? My friend is a doctor who does botox. I could pay for it out of pocket, I don't care. But isn't the "cosmetic" way they do botox and the neurological way they do botox different? Anyway...I really appreciate you sharing. I just feel better knowing that I'm not crazy.
Yes it is different. Insurance will pay for it but you will most likely have to “fail” on other medications first. If you find a doctor that is knowledgeable about treating headaches they will be able to guide you and give you the relief that you need
So it was the botox? I have mini headaches now 17 mos later after having a mild case but neurological issues after 1st dose vaccine.
Hello please tell me what did you use to get rid of headache of long covid l can't understand the video because l d'ont understand english much l'm suffering from such bad hedeaches
Can you provide us with what medication or supplements we need to take? We can't all afford going to neurologists 10 times before getting some broad answer and barely any solutions
Thank you for sharing!
5 months for me and my hmo has let me down. I live in hell. I am so happy forcyou and I have hope.
I tested negative for COVID a little late
but I had all the symptoms and my doctor said that I could’ve had it and I’ve been getting the lingering effects which is migraines and chills. Throughout this period I’ve realized how important family is and how much I am loved and cared for and I am grateful. I may complain about the migraines lmao but I’m sure and hopefully that it will pass eventually. Thank you for sharing this 🥲❤️
Hopeful*
Can we get a update brother
You're truly lovely, thank you. Xo!
Hydrocodone is not prescribed anymore. Hasn't been for years
I am so happy for you❤
What kind of triptan did you take exactly? What is a roll pack? I have trouble finding details. Thank you. I appreciate your response
You didn't happen to see Dr. Butchee at Mercy? She does my Botox shots. I can't wait to see her next week. Between the second and third week after my first injections my pain started to go away. Botox has been a true blessing.
No. I see Dr Jaclyn Duvall in Tulsa but it’s been a life saver for me too. I still get headaches and the Botox wears off for me around 9-10 weeks but nothing like they use to be and I have lots of options to treat them now.
I love her! I originally started with her but, she went to the Mayo Clinic if I remember right for an internship. She came back but at a different place. Botox has been a life changer 👍🏻
@@heathersumner4497 ha what a small world!! Shes with Utica park clinic now in Tulsa. Our only headache specialist in Ok. I LOVE her. Botox has saved me too. It wears off early for me so I depend on a lot of other things but I’d be in trouble without Botox
I’m really glad you are ok now. I have headaches for 4 months now and it is not go away. My headaches started after the first Pfizer vaccine and I don’t know what is it but my headaches is like after covid headaches. Can you tell me the name of your neurologist?
I live in canada and the doctors here are really bad and they don’t give appointments for months.
I’m really disappoint and like you said I don’t know how to live my life like that anymore!
I really appreciate if you help me.
Thank you!
Same to me, GP are not helping
Any relief? Same situation
Same 2.5 years later and still have it. Anything work for you?
I am not presently having headaches but I did have a mild case of Covid. I have experienced non Covid headaches before. How do I tell the difference? My headaches don’t sound like yours. Heavy duty! I find Advil is effective. Good luck with your headache pain.
4 years.
❤
Questions did the botox injection help clear up other symptoms ? I've been suffering from post covid since March 2020. Thanks
Lol
Hey I had Covid last month and I still have headaches. Do you still have them after the Botox shots?
I do. They aren’t as frequent. I had them daily for 110 days. Now I have about 8 a month and I have medications that almost always treat it right away.
I’m 7 months out now
What medications you on?
@@j-live7708 several: amitriptyline as a preventative and to treat migraines I take relpax, naproxen, ubrelvy and then I have a nausea med for the really bad ones
1month ofter covid I have 1 side headche, 1 week later I have exertional how to get rid off pls hep me out
@@mahim4480 are you still suffering or were you able to find relief?
Any update? I still have these headaches I’m over it! I
Mine have improved - check out my most recent video. Definitely not 100% gone but I’m exercising again and living my life almost like normal
Did you get the vaccine?
@@j-live7708 no. I still have antibodies
This is so helpful. I am sufferi8ng post Covid headache, trying everything Imatrex, prenisone, codeine but it is constant. Whewre do they do the botox injection? In the neck or head?
How did you realize it was in fact a post Covid headache?
I’m in a very similar position right now 😢 and no one seems to know of or has a clue what can be done.
I had a ct but no mri Help!
I’ll check out your other vids to see if answers are there.. I’m actually trying ubrelvy now.
Who is the Dr. You Used.
Thank you for sharing! Do you have an update? I’m a year and a half in and am currently off of work.
So you took Naproxen and something called rollpax ? I can't find it. I too am suffering from horrible headaches and don't want to live like this the rest of my life. My attention span is not very good with the headaches. You then starting taking Botox with a neurosurgeon and that is what has really helped.
Hey! Did you end up resolving your headaches at all?
Game changer that Botox i hope im get my insurance to do the same Take care You are an inspiration Thank You again
So what remedy do you recommend .. Botox injections???
I got covid. And it's only my 14 day today.. And I have this headache.. I can't sleep right now it's really uncomfortable 😭
God bless you beautiful 🙏🏽
Praise God ❤
How can I treat side headache and little sneezing
I'm covid recovered patient. 3 month completed past one week having headache is it normal? Can I take vaccine my while having headache
Which medicine did you take?
I take lots. Lots of vitamins and specifically for the headaches: amitriptyline, magnesium oxide and I have lots of options when I get a headache: relpax, naproxen, ubrelvy and a nausea med. I’m also doing Botox every 12 weeks and occipital nerve blocks
My God those Covid headaches are brutal. Only The steroid and antibiotics helped. I’ve never had a headache so brutal that no over the counter medicine will get rid of it
You give me hope. So the bottom line is that Botox did it for you? Will you continue to take them?
I had to go the ED yesterday because the pain was unbearable, I already have an appointment with Neurology. I hope you can answer my questions bc I haven't given up hope that I will be myself again when these headaches go away. Contrary to you, I didn't experience migraines before COVID-19 just the regular stress and PMS headaches but never like what I'm going through right now. Blessings to your kido!
It did help tremendously. Unfortunately it wears off in 5-6 weeks so I just recently did a nerve block. Don’t give up hope. A neurologist will help you manage the pain.
@@amberostasik8459 what ype of nerve block did it help ?
Why do people waffle on ehen they claim to have a remedy for something??
Just tell us the solutuin first and then if we want to listen to your story then we will.... im dun after 10 minutes!!!
TL;DW; Botox from neurologist specializing in headaches treatments
Im having these headaches i cant even go out i did the nervblock it didnt work and ikd if botox will work or not :(((
So sorry. I hope you get some relief. Mine are better but definitely not 100%
@@amberostasik8459 i hope you get totally well too:)
4 month after covid my headache not go what to do plzz tell me some advice
Same problem did you get better now ??
Omg you tried so many meds. I have very mild covid lost smell n taste and very severe nasal congestion and ong the headache is unbearable. But im a lil confused from you video. What helped your pain?? Was it the botox
Cant hear you
Norco give you headaches 🙄
Get straight to the point!
What are you talking about? You're greatly exagerating, you had a bad headache this isn't a Frick Show... There are thousands of people out there who are suffering of headaches for years.
Video too full of BS.
I'm outta here.
