I was curious how other people's headaches present that you associate with lyme. Not sure who mentioned peppermint essential oil, but thanks for that, I decided to flow with beginning to create my own supplements when possible. Bought 2 bunches of peppermint at the local store that features local goods. Cut one bunch up and put it in a super clean mason jar, mooshed it up some more with the end of a wooden spoon, covered it in olive oil. Will let it rest three days, then strain it, put the second batch of peppermint in and do the same thing. When it is done you are supposed to cut it with another oil. Think I'll use coconut oil.

I get a terrible pain at the base of my neck/head. It's awful....feels like someone has a cinch and is pulling the strings - I can feel the pain from my eye sockets all the way through and around my head pulling towards that point. It mostly is spontaneous but sometimes I can feel it coming on. I use magnesium oil spray that I get at Sprouts and many times, after a few applications, the pain ceases to be as bad or goes away all together. I've noticed my headaches mostly occur in the evenings. I don't like to take pain medicine, but have tried several without success....they don't even touch it, so now I just skip it and go straight for the mag oil spray.

Jenny thank you! My headache sort of migrates, with pain behind my eyes and also in my ears. It presents more on the top of the head toward the back, and today, the sides of my head, temples. I noticed it gets more intense when I exercise, and also, when my blood pressure goes up. I am wondering if some of this will clear as I fully recover from the aneurysm repair and what is left due to tick illness. My stiff neck seems to have alleviated a bit.
