Summary
It was long COVID; from February 2022 an H1/H2 antihistamine protocol seemed to help. They were later diagnosed with hemicrania continua and indomethacin helped somewhat. In 2024 tests showed their immune system was depleted, immunoglobulins were out of whack and they had no vaccine antibody immunity, so they were re-vaccinated, and a newly started calcium channel blocker made them feel 'like a new person'.
