Advice

Is there a biological dentist you can see? Root canals are bad and harbor infection. Biological dentists don’t usually do root canals for this reason, as they endanger your health. Lyme can hide out in root canals and dental cavitation sites where teeth were pulled, especially if they are pulled by a regular dentist. Biological dentists use different methods to avoid these problems. I would get help from a biological dentist first. Then treat Lyme, as needed.

You can find a biological dentist and learn about dental issues from IAOMT.

I'll delete the other post for you.

Yes, Lamps, this sounds like an issue with your root canal. Like WBF said, root canal treatment is not done by most (all?) biological or holistic dentists. It can create a complication called a cavitation (which would not have shown up on your MRI). Cavitations are detected with a 3D conebeam scan. Root canals leave a dead tooth and its connective tissues (the ligament that attaches it to your jaw, for example) in place. Bodies aren't supposed to contain this dead tissue and may try to expel it, leading to pain, neurological inflammation, nerve irritation, and infection. This happens regardless of Lyme status, but people with a history of Lyme tend to have more reactive nerves. Additionally, you could be having a reaction to one of the metals or other materials used in the crown or in packing the root.

I had a root canal years ago, that went poorly and wore down my system over time until I had it extracted. No cavitation was found on my 3D cone beam scan, and all the other testing I'd had on the area for years (to find the source of ongoing pain - sometimes severe - and bleeding) came up clear. But I knew it had to go. When I found a great holistic dentist to extract it, there was a big pocket of infection stuck on the side of the root, like a little balloon of evil. ;) I felt a little lighter immediately.

No one wants to lose a tooth, and I can't fathom being able to afford implants, and the word "denture" freaks people out, but a root canal - especially one that is causing such extreme symptoms! - isn't good for the body. I hope you find a good way to resolve this soon!

Just looking for some advice, had toot canal and then developed a headache. Went to neurologists and they did MRI scans found nothing sinister. Had heat in my neck and up my back. Sent bloods to Germany and they came back positive for lyme and co-infections met lyme doctor who put me on antibiotics. After 3 months didn't really feel much better, told lyme doctor who said cut off antibiotics and got back to neurologist, it must be chronic migraine. Don't know what to do now, fining life a struggle.

Don't know if I have lyme or some other thing wrong.
Any advice would be much appreciated

Lamps I read your old posts. You are positive for Lyme and co-infections and likely need more treatment than just 3 months of antibiotics. Yes, you have Lyme. I would find a better LLMD or herbalist who treats Lyme, and get the tooth taken care of by a biological dentist, but you need to keep treating the Lyme and co-infections AND detox too.

I would not go back to the neurologist (I saw 4, they all misdiagnosed me), because they will just put you on steroids or horrible migraine meds which will not help you and will make you sicker. DO NOT let them give you a spinal tap. You don't need more MRIs either.

Try detox first to help the headache and pain. Are you taking magnesium daily? If not, then start. Try magnesium lotion too.
Take Epsom Salt baths. Clean up your diet: quit wheat and dairy at least. Drink lemon water daily. Try Burbur Pinella. Try L-Ornithine.

Maybe the root canal set off the migraine, but your tests. as others have mentioned, show Lyme is in the picture and should be investigated. Migraine can also simply come from Lyme and co-infections, but right after a root canal puts focus there and then consider Lyme.

thanks everybody for the advice, its very helpful
