I know this is stupid but since I've started being treated for Lyme, I haven't taken any over the counter meds at all. I think I was nervous about any interactions. Plus, I feel like I'm taking so much that anything else is unnecessary and would put more stress on my body and liver.

So my question is, Is Tylenol okay with antibiotics?

Just a run down of everything I'm on,I generally take all this in one day.

Serrapeptase, Lymph Tone II, Amoxicillin, Nystatin, Plaquenil, multivitamin, Green Dragon Botanicals LD Protocol, Magnesium Citrate, vitamin D (50,000 IUs), Probiotics.

The past week or so I've started getting headaches again. I can't tell if t hey are tension or sinus
headaches, or even a migraine. They pretty much come and go all day. But I just woke up with one and and I'm just tired of them at this point.

open to any other suggestions. But I'm hoping a couple of Tylenol will save the day.

I'd be inclined to go with something like Boswellia.

Tylenol is really hard on the liver and we all know our livers are already working hard clearing toxins.

Can you take ibuprofen? I would try that instead. And there are no dumb questions if you really don't know!!!

The only dumb question is the question that goes un-asked.

To counter the liver stress from Tylenol if that is the only pain reliever you can take, be sure to also take N-Acetyl-Cysteine.

"Treatment with oral NAC effectively prevented hepatotoxicity, regardless of the initial serum acetaminophen level, if it was started within 8 hours of the ingestion. NAC's treatment effectiveness did not depend on whether it was started 0-4 or 4-8 hours after ingestion." --from emedicine.medscape.com/article/820200-treatment

I haven't taken any ibuprofen or NSAIDs since my symptoms started. Initially I had gastric and stomach issues and one doctor said I could possibly have an ulcer. So when I needed anything I was on Tylenol only. However I did find out that I don't have an ulcer, but gastritis.

Since I've started treatment, I hadn't taken any over the counter meds. My headaches actually went away for a while. Sadly they are back, but I can't figure out the cause, aside from Lyme of course. I thought maybe they were tension or sinus headaches. Could possibly be a migraine. How do you tell the difference?

See if this helps you determine what type of headache you are experiencing: /www.headaches.org/educational_modules/completeguide/differenttypes.html

Is there such a thing as a lyme headache?

Cheetahjade,

Yes. Lyme creates many toxins, some of which can certainly cause headaches...
