Does anyone have headaches that seem to change location? Start in the front of the head behind the forehead and the move back toward the center of the head under the scalp. Also, how would you describe this as a press, ache pain?

What has helped to make it better?

ThanX

Hi JT,
Just so that you know, I'm going to delete the other thread that you started just like this one. No need to have two threads going about the same thing for the same person.

These infections - and all three that you mentioned - cause all kinds of headaches that can change around daily, and for some each hour sometimes. I've had that happen and you don't know which part of your head to hold on to next! shakehead Remember, a hallmark symptom of Lyme is that symptoms change around (migrating pains).

I've experienced anything from incredible pressure, to stabs, or a feeling like ice cold steel is inside my head. It's definitely an odd thing for others, but not for those of us with these infections.

Have you tried aspirin, Ibuprofen, Tylenol, or Naproxen (Advil)? If those don't help, try heat or ice on your neck, or a neck rub. Sometimes our neck muscles get so tight that they cause headaches, as in tension headaches. It's not like we don't have our fair share of tension and then some!

Hi JT3131 - Im probably different than most, but all of my headaches were very consistent, very specific and I so narrowed them down to two types: the meningitis type headache where my neck grows stiff, hot and almost feels like a migraine. These meningitis-type headaches have not reoccurred since I began my very first Lyme ABX treatments (and Herxes), so I feel they were more related to untreated, full blown Lyme.

And the "other" general type of headache I get now where my head, mostly my frontal lobe is taking a pounding. Sometimes this is accompanied by light sensitivity, which might also be ABX related.

For me, this second type of headache is almost always due to dehydration or toxic buildup (or both), so Ive learned learned to treat this using coffee enemas and drinking lots of water. Definitely give this a try the next time your headaches return. For me, the relief was fast and remarkable.
