Don’t forget Chad (although I find him a believable source)!
Ellie’s “eye pain” migraines still don’t add up to me. Nothing about what she describes fits classic migraine characteristics.
Also just throwing out I’ve seen a lot of Covid patients who’s biggest of only complaint was headache.

Migraines are unfortunately something else I have decades of personal experience with (as a patient). Nothing any of them have ever said has convinced me they are migraines yet, wIth the exception of Chad. It seems his doctor agrees because he was the only one sent in for a brain scan....an MRI
with contrast at that. In my experience that usually means they are pretty concerned. When my first "complex" migraine gave me stroke-like symptoms they didn't even use contrast. It wasn't used until years later when I went to the ER with a potential dissection on my carotid (I only had an aneurysm).
So I am actually concerned about Chad. Simple exercise induced migraines are a thing, and relatively harmless, so hopefully that's all it is. There are endless lifestyle improvements and medications that can address migraines, but unfortunately the poor kid doesn't even have access to a bed and wholesome foods which is the foundation of treating any health issue. I am really curious to hear the outcome of the scan. I assume it is nothing more than the standard "white matter abnormalities consistent with migraines", or they normally would be foreshadowing/milking the $hit out of the results on SM already. We never did hear what happened with that surgery Shari so desperately wanted on her calves. I wonder if the surgeon said no.
Jared could easily have had COVID though, the Franke's were reamed when they so callously spread it all around town with glee, so I can see why the rest wouldn't want to admit to it.
