Hello!

I have this weird symptom...it feels like someone is constantly pushing on my temples. As if they have their hands wrapped around my head and are squeezing. My temples also twitch all the time.

It doesn't hurt, it's just SO uncomfortable. Ughh.

Do you think this is Lyme or Babesia? It does seem to have gotten worse since I started treating Babesia with herbals.

Or it could have gotten worse because I've been off abx. I don't know...

Thanks!

I get the feeling of my head being squeezed during a herx or flare. My LLND says most head issues are due to babs. I know it's a horrible feeling. Hang in there, this too shall pass....

I get a symptom of something vibrating at a strange frequency inside of my brain. That symptom I know is Lyme. It is like pulsing sensation. That means take more antibiotics and it goes away so for me it is Lyme.

I had it a lot, it's been a while now, but now I have many more migraine attacks - YAY!! eyes

It felt like my head was in a bench vise, with the temples being the place of contact with the bench vise. I'm sorry about my visual descriptions, but that works best for me.

It is indeed very uncomfortable...

jack, what power of microscope are you using? Also, how are you prepping the slide/blood?

I really want to look at my blood, but have no clue how/what to do. Any info you might provide would be appreciated, and I am happy to research, if I could get some clear info and direction with this.

I have an email in to an previous college professor I had at the local college, asking if he'll assist me in my quest for answers/information, hopefully using the lab.

Thanks for any info/direction. Best of all to your health.

I was dx with IIH prior to lyme jackblack....do you take any brain meds for it or did it just go away with the doxy? my LLND may be putting me on it after my new labs come back if they're definitive for lyme and I'm scared because it's supposed to be a huge causative factor for IIH as are the other tetracyclines...!

Elleon, my LLND says that headaches and feelings like that are normal with Lyme..I don't remember exactly which coinfection he said was associated but it should pass..good luck!!!

It is all so strange!! I used to get a feeling i had sunglasses on when i did not! It was pressure across my eyes and bridge of my nose!

Yup, ditto, ditto
Feels sometimes my head is in a vise and things get a little distorted. By next day it is replaced by some other weird symptom. I'm thinking it's either Lyme or Babesia
