what's this pain on top of my head?

so sorry you are experiencing this sweetpea!! I had lightening flashes of pain in my head that lasted a second - I believed those to be nerve related. Does your scalp actually feel sore? How often does it happen?

Is it different spots on the head or all over the top?

When I get it, its like someone is trying to pull all the skin on my scalp, starting at my ears. Everything is tender to the touch. I don't remember if I had lightening flashes. But it was usually later in the day and I would also get numbness in my face.

But the lightening flashes sound like muscle spasms. I was taking a muscle relaxant and that had a major effect on both. Do you get these lightening flashes anywhere else? I also got them between my shoulder blade and spine. It was like getting stabbed and always made me gasp they were so strong.

I would take to your doc about maybe trying a muscle relaxant. Of course, my diagnosis was Fibromyalgia and that is one of the treatments.

Hope this helps,
Kim

Oddly, when I started IV Rocephin (which crosses the blood-brain barrier) I felt stabbing pains in my head, different areas, maybe twice a day for a couple days then they stopped. Chalked it up to the abx killing the bacteria and not being able to detox the neurotoxins fast enough. LDN seemed to help with all these weird stabbing body pains.

I had a different sensation of burning/prickly in a whole area - most of my scalp but favoring one side a little, which would extend down to the top of my ear. If the wind gently brushed against my hair I would feel pain. After some research, I decided this was likely shingles (I had chicken pox as a kid) and stopped when I increased my antiviral.

Sorry you are having these ridiculous symptoms sweetpea--and everyone else... it just never ends, does it.

I don't know... maybe someone has some ideas on this... but yes, the Rx is hard on the liver.

I have been trying to get off these antivirals for a long time. They were my main issue when I first started seeing my LLMD and I tested high levels/titers/reactivated for 4-5 different viruses when I first saw her. And we had to try a couple of different antivirals before I had relief. Only when this got under control and my fungal load and GI calmed down would she start on the lyme, bart and babesia --took about 4 months to get started.

That was 2 yrs ago, since then I've tried going off the antiviral and eventually, the viral load overwhelms me and interferes w/ treatment. So I go back on the antiviral. She recommended a natural antiviral from Beyond Balance called IMN-V-II. I accidentally overdosed with, say, 10 drops and I crashed HARD. I was bed-ridden for weeks. Needless to say, I haven't tried it since but my goal is to get off the Rx and do the tincture.

I don't know what it's going to take to get the viral load under control but I need to figure it out. My liver & kidney functions are checked on a weekly basis now that I stared a 2nd abx (I was being checked bi-wkly) and as long as I continue my detox cocktail (milk thistle seed, burdock root, parsley, bur bur and pinella) and other detox regimen my labs remain good knock on wood.
