Hi everyone,

My main herxing reaction is still migraine, which sometimes once a month and sometimes several, always excruciating and severe, bump me out of daily activities.

So I am wondering if someone here with Lyme has tried botox to block the pain?
Is it similar to steroids ?

Hmm, personally I'd be a bit nervous to try the botox because it is a neurotoxin, and given the toxin issues we already have from these health situations it might be a bit risky.

What kind of things are you doing for detox? have you tried Jernigan's Neuro-Antitox? could be worth looking into. CBD might be another thing to consider if you haven't already.

thank you for reply, I will have a look into it

I personally would never knowingly use something like Botox. It is a NEUROTOXIN. I have a genetic susceptibility to biotoxins. We already have an overload of neurotoxins from Lyme/co, plus our detox organs are overwhelmed and impaired.

There are other ways to treat migraines. Imitrex works on mine.

Just a little update in case if someone who is suffering like myself with migraine herxings would try to find information.

With the help of CBD oil I caught up two last headaches that were intended to grow into migraines...
I still have had headaches but it was much milder and i could still function in my daily life.
