Summary
Someone who had COVID-19 in September 2021 developed a continuous migraine from 14 April 2022, and suspected long COVID was making it worse. Prednisone, which had previously broken their migraine cycles, failed. They attended a headache clinic and started the Stanton Migraine Protocol, a ketogenic diet with electrolyte balance; they mentioned it recommends thiamine B1 and magnesium, had only just started it and did not know whether it would help.

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.
