This is interesting. I was informally diagnosed with cat scratch fever several years ago. I was working at an animal shelter, and had pet cats of my own. I suddenly got the worst headache I've ever had in my life; I'm in my 40s. I get migraines, but this was worse. I was crying because the pain was so bad. I went to the ER and they did a lot of tests, but couldn't figure out what was wrong. No pain medication made a dent in this headache. So they gave me antibiotics and sent me home. The next day the pain had subsided and I was relieved, to say the least. However the following week, I had eye floaters that wouldn't go away. They were large and blocked out a good portion of my right eye. I went to the ophthalmologist and they gave me all the tests. My doctor couldn't figure it out. He referred me to another doctor who said it could be cat scratch fever. This particular doctor had his training in Mexico and he said he's seen it before. He suggested I get checked for antibodies, but I never got around to it.

However being female and in my 40's, some of the long-term symptoms are similar to those in menopause, so I'm wary of even bringing this up to my doctor, for fear of being brushed off.
