Kristin,
I am so sorry---I can not imagine living with the pain of a headache for so long. I am interested to hear the results of your MRI.
I could not find any information linking the swine flu to persistent headaches. As you probably experienced, the swine flu symptoms in humans are similar to a "regular" seasonal flu, and can be along the spectrum of mild to severe. However, the symptoms last for about a week. Long-term conditions from swine flu have occurred related to respiratory conditions or ear infections (for individuals with no pre-existing health conditions).
The only thought I have is to call CDC hotline at 1-800-CDC-INFO (available 24/7), to see if any individuals have reported persistent or re-occurring headaches with swine flu as the "event".
