Morning,
I have had really bad headaches the past few days. I have pressure too, but I am just referring to the headache part.
My eyes are also burning. Is this from Lyme or abx? I do have an opthamologist appt in July. Just wondering if any of you have experienced this?

Hey Dans,
What meds are you on?
Did you recently start any new ones?
Do you have Lyme and/or any co-infections?
Need more information :)

Hi :)
Yes, I was just diagnosed last week with Lymes. Dr thinks I have bartonella too. I can't remember if he tested me for that. I can look. I was taking doxy for two months. The dr just put me on Zithromax last week (7 days ago) my eyes have been burning and I have headaches for a while, but they are much worse. Could this be a herx?

My headache and my sore red eyes were just symptoms of having lyme.
With treatment they finally went away.
Here is a good explanation of herxing.

Dans,
It might help you to journal your symptoms. When they happen (time of day), what you ate that day, what is the weather and the time of the month...full moom...new moon. Some even have certain days that symptoms arise. It can be an eye
opener!
For me the moon and time of day (headaches are always worse in the evening and with low pressure fronts moving through (the fronts can also affect arthritis in a lot of people.) I would not have known this without journaling. Just a thought! :)

I agree that this is likely a herx since you just added in another abx 7 days ago. Increase what you are doing for detoxing daily and it should ease things up for you.

I also have constant headaches and red, burning eyes.
