Does anyone ever get this? I seem to be getting headaches and sometimes just head pain (it's somehow different) in the same spot of my head quite often. Is this common with lyme? It worries me as my constant chest/shoulder/neck pain is located all on one side of my body, the same side I'm getting these headaches. I'm concerned it might be something serious.

I can only say that my headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, arm weakness was all on my left side. I think this is common, head pain too pretty much in the same spot. Those symptoms have subsided with treatment hope yours do too.

I've known a few people who also notice that their pain tends to gravitate toward one side or the other - for a while I had symptoms predominantly on my left side - now luckily my right side is sharing some of the wealth!

Could the pain all be connected? Like if it's a problem in your neck, it might radiate to your chest and shoulder, and then up to your head. Just a thought. Unfortunately headaches are so common with so many things it's hard to tell what's what. That said I'm going to go nurse my killer sinus headache - I feel your pain! Be well!

I used to get massive migraines in my left eyeball

I found that it was related to my sinuses and as I got the Lyme under better control my sinuses got better. I also have found that if I eat sugar, I feed what ever is growing in there and the pain comes back.

The sauna treatments have been the biggest help in resolving most of my pain.

I get weird headaches every few weeks and sometimes really sensitive spots on my scalp. And I always have very bad neck tension. My neck always cracks when I turn it. I get tension headaches too like you would get from stress.

My DD10 has what she describes as a "pick-like" headache which coincides with bartonella flares. It is always in the same spot, on the right side of her head, half way between her ear and the top of her head. The pain lasts for a couple of seconds and then goes away. Before treatment for bart she had them frequently, maybe 15-20 times a day. Now she is down to once every couple of days.

Thanks for your responses. Rowingmom, I have to thank you again for your help and advice. I've begun treatment, and am hoping to return to a normal state of health within time. Thanks again!

The one-sided pain I get (right hand side) appears to be linked to my nerve pathways. I always got bad headaches on one main spot, and then numbness and/or pain through my cheek, jaw, shoulder, arm and leg on the same side. I also had what seemed like distinctly different types of pain at different times, but always in the same locations.

On the plus side, this has reduced massively through antibiotic treatment to the point  I am now only getting pain just before my period or when I am unwell or particularly tired. So - it will get better over time...
