Scalp nerve pain

Anyone get scalp nerve pain (stabbing, burning, pin pricks)? If so what helps?? It is the absolute worse!!!

Lovedeeply - I posted in the other thread about Tinidazole for nerve pain.
Are you confusing it with something else?

Tinidazole is an antibiotic.

I had the for years-Ivermectin and albendazole really helped but my cure was cleaning out jaw infection.

I have this awful pain as well.
It is the lower part of the head, near the neck, but not the neck. I don't know how to explain excatly, I hope you understood.
When I touch this area, it is very sensitive, it hurts and I can feel enlarged glands/nodes directly on the head.
Do you know some herbal remedies for this pain?

I am getting this real bad too. I am having a hard time putting my head on the pillow cause it's painful and burning. I am bartonella positive.

I have that same scalp thing near the base - all those symptoms on/off as described, but then again one of my kids has the exact same symptoms on/off , too, But, she does not have lyme disease. We found out that what she has is a compressed nerve and that her Atlas is off, so now she sees a regular osteopath to align it all.

Hi luna--
a lot of great info already provided in responses here. I'll add a few of my thought that are pretty different - if they don't apply to your situation please ignore!

I used to experience crazy sharp, stabbing, burning, prickly pains in my scalp that often favored one side but not always... and sometimes down the neck/ear area. They would appear all of a sudden and last for days and then disappear. I wouldn't ever have a rash or anything visible but if a light breeze softly brushed through my hair, I would be in excruciating pain.

When I first started seeing my LLMD she tested me for high viral titers and sure enough, I was positive for 4 or 5 different viral loads, including CMV, Epstein Barr, and a couple forms of the herpes virus (responsible for cold sores)--one that is commonly associated with tick-borne illnesses is HHV (human herpes virus) 6 and 8.

I told the LLMD about the scalp pain and she felt it sounded like shingles, which I agreed with. I had chicken pox as a kid - shingles (also known as zoster or herpes zoster) is caused by the same virus responsible for chicken pox: the varicella zoster virus. Even if you had chicken pox in the past, you can still contract shingles. Once I started on antivirals, I stopped experiencing the scalp pain.

Many lymees have viral loads that haven't been discovered yet so they aren't being treated to reduce the viral load. For me, my viral load can dominate even the lyme, bart and babesia symptoms and can make other treatment ineffective unless I keep my viral load in check. So I'm curious if you and your LLMD have investigated for viruses. Hope this helps.
