Summary
They had daily headaches starting around mid-2020, along with light sensitivity, for around three years. They tried over-the-counter painkillers, naproxen with a muscle relaxer and then migraine medication, none of which helped, and their periods took six months to become regular again. By April 2024 they had stopped all medications because none helped; the headaches continued.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
