You know those cardboard tubes that come inside wrapping paper? The light/thin ones, not the heavy ones. Have you ever been bonked on the head with one? It's a light thud, doesn't hurt. That's what I felt on the top of my head today. All of a sudden, I felt dizzy, my hands were sweaty, and I had big anxiety. I felt weak and like I might tip over. I also had a slight, dull headache after. What the heck? I still feel dizzy (which is usual) about 4 hours later.

Previous to incident I had: A couple sips of Bulletproof coffee (coffee, butter, MCT oil - I have those pretty often - although not together), a sugar-free/wheat-free scone - I had not eaten in 4 hours.

My theories:

  • Blood pressure drop
  • Barometric pressure (it started raining about an hour later)
  • Meniere's (ENT says I have it, I think it's a result of Lyme)
  • Neck out of alignment


My scary fears:

  • Anuerysm
  • Stroke
  • Circulation or nervous system malfunction


Someone please tell me this is just the Lyme and not to worry. Has anyone had this? This is the second time this has happened. Last time it was about a month ago and I ended up having a massive panic attack after. Obviously, I have anxiety, but I just can't tell the difference between Lyme and these odd episodes. about a week ago my blood pressure went high due to Byron White herbs. I was on 1 drop per day, but I was herxing really bad and my LLMD has me on a break.

Kristenb, my nurse said there are no actual pain receptors in the brain..however i get scalp pain ,neck headaches etc

when i first took bactrim i had a reaction on day 3 ,it felt like someone inserted a piece if paper in my brain and the hemispheres couldnt communicate...then the chest pain, muscle wasting etc . I thought i broke my brain liver and or heart and while all may be true in part here i sit typing words of assurance.we are resiliant being capable of great healing...

now im not the sugarcoat type.lets say it eas a blood clot ,it may have not been a crucial part of the brain (we only use 10%) or lets say its amyloid plaque formation to wall off the spirocheteal infection in the recesses of your cranium ...you still remember your name and where you live? (Alzheimers take a very long time to forget the faces and name of those whom you love ..)

I m not one to scold you on coffee use impaired liver or vasodialation but you do need to find a way to effectively treat this super infection..have you researched bee venom therapy?

BlueLyme, thanks for not sugar-coating, but I can't even search for blood clots right now. I felt a little extra stupid after, but now it's just the usual brain fog. I didn't know you can have blood clots in non-crucial parts of the brain. I also didn't know about the amyloid plaque formation. Anything head related is freaky.

I've done a little research on bee venom. Not much. Still new to all this.

I think it is 'just' lyme...but if you are truly worried about it being an aneurysm or a stroke - then you need to go to the ER...at the very least call your Dr.'s office tomorrow.


Is there someone with you that can check for signs of stroke?

FAST - Facial drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulties, time to call (time is of the essence)

or another acronym:

STR (for stroke)
S = smile (can you smile - look in a mirror)
T = talk - can you speak a simple sentence
R = Raise both arms..can you do that

I don't know the warning signs of an aneurysm.

Quick search on aneurysm:

sudden, extremely severe headache.
Nausea and vomiting.
Stiff neck.
Blurred or double vision.
Sensitivity to light.
Seizure.
A drooping eyelid.
Loss of consciousness.

They use a meat tenderizer called cathflo if you have a bad clot ...but even a mri may not pixbit up ..but you can see the damage done by lyme ...they call it hypoperfusion-lack of blood flow ...

one lady i met couldn't do math or remember her curriculum she teaches now and has her own buisness thanks to the bees ...5 years of abx barely helped

KristenBee, when I first got lyme I had horrible head pain in the back of my head behind my ears. I guess most people would call it a headache, but I have had headaches and migraines since I was a teen and this was so different that I just called it head pain.

But there were a couple of months where I got, what I called, lightening strikes in my brain. They were there like a flash and gone. Extremely scary and painful while they lasted. Also over so very quickly. They made me freeze mid step and wait.....

I had no idea what I was waiting for. I just thought maybe it was a stroke or whatever and I was a goner.

These happened about 5 or 6 times and then they were gone. I guess treatment took care of them. And, I have no idea what they were. Were they just part of lyme traveling? Was it herbs crossing the blood brain barrier and attacking?

When they were gone all I could do was be so thankful. They were so frightening and they would come when I was just talking to friend. No stress, no physical exertion, no rhyme or reason.

I just always said, "another rubbish lyme symptom"

PeteZa, I've definitely had those lightening strikes on the head. They're what really had me rushing to figure out what was wrong with me. I had a few on vacation and went to the ER. Really scared the heck out of me. I'm really thankful for these boards. We all seem to have a lot of the same symptoms and it helps to know other people are having them - I guess there's safety in numbers ;)
