Oh jeezo peezo. This is a new symptom that came up yesterday and is appearing to get worse. I have developed what i would consider edema or possibly fluid filled lump on my forehead. Painful to the touch and causing a horrible 2 day headache. I look like im about so sprout a horn. Its about 2 inches in diameter, not an equal circle. Is this Lyme related? Something i should show immediate concern over?

i feel like it something new every week, every month...shoot, sometimes daily.

Hi lpaiges23 -

It IS something new all the time. It's the infections getting stirred up or the antimicrobials hitting some new pocket of infection - crazy fun house.

I'm not sure about what you're describing - never heard of swelling like that w/out a big knock to the noggin to cause it.

Hopefully someone else will come along to offer suggestions.

When I first started abx treatment both lower extremities blew up like ballons and my forehead and eye areas also became edematous. It lasted awhile. Still have no idea what caused this.
