Help with Constant Migraine

Is there a solid answer on what causes severe migraines with Lyme? It has been my worst and most frequent symptom since all this started 19 years ago, and it is off the charts right now. It's so bad, I haven't been able to get on the internet for a few days. Even posting this is a struggle.

Excedrin Migraine helps but I cannot use it much because of kidneys. And with the one I've had since yesterday, it won't even touch it.

"Excedrin Migraine contains acetaminophen, aspirin, and therapeutically active caffeine. "

Migraine was my first and worst symptom. I use imitrex to manage migraine attacks. Benadryl can help break the cycle, especially when combined with B2. Magnesium is useful to add to your daily regime. I personally prefer ice packs for my attacks. Peppermint oil for sure! Caffeine plus whatever meds. Beware of medication overuse headaches. The good news is mine have greatly improved with treatment. I’m in remission now and am still generally a migraine prone person but now I mostly just get hormone related ones. They are much easier to manage now too and respond well to imitrex, and sometimes even just go away with coffee and a meal. Huge hugs. Migraine is the most difficult type of pain to handle on a daily basis.

Thanks for all the replies. Still having trouble looking at screen.

RC - caffeine helps me also. I think the mix of that and asprin in Excedrin are what make it better.

saraeli - I will try the peppermint today. Have tried ice packs and even heat. For last few weeks I have not been taking anything for Lye or co-infections and wondering if that is what ids adding to it. Right now working on stomach and using fluconazole.

ChickNorris - What you mention about caffeine overuse and rebounds is a concern. I try to limit it for that and blood pressure. And so glad to see you are in remission after so long!!!

magoo2 - I am going to the dentist to have it checked next week. Have been wearing a nightguard for clinching.

As of late, a lot of symptoms have really gotten worse. Even light fever back most days about 3:00 pm until around 6-7 pm. Just don't know anymore.

RW, I have had worst-of-my-life migraine these past few days also, so bad it made me want to tear my head off of my shoulders and throw it away (not exaggerating). Thanks, Bart! /s

Tylenol on a family member's suggestion? Nope. I told 'em it's Bartonella. I told 'em Tylenol wouldn't touch it. Nope.
They wouldn't listen. Took a Tylenol anyway, just to see what it would do. Extra Strength. 500 milligrams. Tylenol (generic version because it's cheap). It did not help, at all, whatsoever. I knew it wouldn't.

So, knowing that headaches are often caused by dehydration, I then drank some electrolytes and water (Pedialyte and Drip-Drop, both brands)...didn't help that much.

Then I ate a pretty good balanced nutritious meal. Headache started going away, maybe the serotonin from the decent meal started working with the supplements I took earlier...

But the thing that completely knocked it back down from a pain level of 11 (if you familiar with Spinal Tap amplifier levels lol)--down to a 3 or 1, was cannabis. It kills pain and brings the mood up like nothing else. It's seems to me almost perfect medicine for Lyme+ Co's Symptoms (Can you hear me, Dr. M******** of BC, Canada) There's a scene in the movie "Lyme Life" where Lyme-sufferer "Charlie Bragg" played by Timothy Hutton uses cannabis daily...of course this is a well-known medicine to many of us already ; )

I did some cranio-sacral therapy with a tool-handle and it was feeling better, somewhat. It was gone today after my morning medicinal herbal-vape.

Like Dr. M I also believe certain parties have been"criminally-negligent" about CBD (cannibidiol) and Cannabis in general... Just look at Rick Simpson (RSO dissolved his cancerous tumors).

How is the Fluconazole affecting you? Has it had any effects on bowels or GI tract? Any skin breakouts or irritation?
