Summary
Osprey 18587 tested positive for COVID-19 on 11 December 2020 and still had a headache 21 days later. They had taken topamax for migraines since March 2020; it worked well for about six months before headaches returned, and a higher dose had not clearly helped during COVID. Topamax caused 5 lbs of weight loss and some fuzzy thinking that they got used to.
