Weird headaches

Gosh!! That sounds awful. Lyme, bartonella, and babesia all cause headaches of various kinds. Most likely it's due to the abx treatment. I'd report this to the doctor ASAP and see what he wants you to do.

Pain so bad you're vomiting is TOO MUCH pain.

Aerose91 - Do you get dizzy at all when you move your eyes and/or is there stomach upset with it?

Aerose,

I used to have headaches with eye pain that would get much worse if I moved my eye, leaned over, or laid down. I had headaches like that for decades. Always did everything I could to get rid of it before bedtime, as laying down always made it horribly worse. Don't remember nausea or vomiting with it. I had sinus pressure and congestion with it back then and always thought they were sinus headaches.

about 4 years ago, my headaches changed. I had more of a pressure in the front across my eyebrows and would tend to rub the affected eye. I think it was usually my right eye.

I also started getting neck stiffness, with or without the headaches. Didn't remember having stiff neck before then.

about a year after my headaches changed, I told my doctor because my old OTC regimen wasn't working anymore. He thought they might be migraines and gave me a sample of Relpax and a script for Imitrex. He told me they would only work if it was a migraine. Next time I had a headache, I took the sample and it worked. I take the generic Imitrex now - Sumatriptan. It's still working. If you have more than so many headaches a month, you have to use a different type of drug.

Talk to the doctor. There should be something that will help you.

I get similar headaches, although mine aren't as intense as yours. But they start at the base of my skull and shoot pain up and over my head and into my eyes. It feels like a knife is stabbing me in the eye. I don't take pain meds, so I'm not sure if they would help, but of all my "crunchy" remedies, the thing that works on them is one of those ****su neck massagers. I position it directly over the spot at the base of my skull and let it work 1 - 3 cycles, and the pain will subside greatly.

I don't know if mine are from Lyme either, but I didn't have them until getting sick. Because mine are always in the same place (left side), my naturopath seems to think they're on my gallbladder meridian (and I do have gallbladder issues).

mikeee- no sales pitches on this site ok?

I'm going to bring it up to Dr M when i talk to him, for sure. I assume it has something to do with this illness because i never had anything like this before falling ill. I never had migranes either so i guess i have to be open to that possibility
