Chronic headache after Covid vaccine

DW has had a headache all day, every day since she got her first Covid shot over a year ago.  Has anyone else heard of this?

    Yes, I have read through some of the literature on this. A Google search will reveal a number of scholarly articles and PubMed citations. The one thing I noted was the advice to have these chronic headaches clinically evaluated. Any symptom, like severe headache, that becomes chronic, certainly warrants talking to her doctor - a neurologist if she has one. Chronic pain of any kind is hard on a PWD, especially if she's not able to get relief with typical over-the-counter meds.
