I been fighting Lyme and Co. for four years now. My symptoms finally seem to be improving, except for this non-stop pain and pressure in my teeth, nose, jaw, and temples.
I have tried many different abx, and nothing so far has eased the pain in my face. It was the first symptom I ever had. It has progressively gotten worse, even when my other symptoms are getting better.
Right now I am taking biaxin, plaquenil, and bactrim. They're doing a great job with my joint and muscle pain, but they are not easing any symptoms from the neck up.
Has anyone had any luck with a particular abx or combination of abx that helped decrease face/ head/ tooth pain?
I have also tried a dozen different anti-seizure meds that are supposed to ease nerve pain (neurontin, lyrica, elavil, baclofen), and they haven't helped.
I would appreciate ANY suggestions!! This pain is driving me crazy
Thank you!

Flagyl is excellent in fighting anaerobic bacteria (infection caused by bacteria (called anaerobes) which cannot grow in the presence of oxygen.)
If the infection is in the gum-lines, or in the tooth socket this drug may help you.

Four years! This is my worst symptom and I can't imagine having it for four years. Let me know if anything works for you!
