Wow, it took me all day to figure out "post new topic" didn't say the same thing as the button next to it....lol
And I once was an Admin who did IT work for their company all day long.
Anyways,I have had Lyme Symptoms since 2011, about a year ago I was treated for Parasites and Mites using Invermectin.
I had been heading down the autoimmune allopathic route due to swelling raynauds phenomenon and breathing problems.
I was finally diagnosed in November of 2014 with CLD thanks to me finding a picture of what I thought was a spider bite that I'd sent to my Mom to show the bite.
I'd completely forgotten about this photo,but it showed a classic bullseye once viewed from a different mindset.
It's been a horrible struggle,ostracized from my family for not having proof I'm sick. I guess the 40 lb unexplained weight loss,muscle loss, asthma,allergies and gi problems aren't proof enough. My husband left ...well made me leave ...with our daughter who also has Lyme I'm pretty sure is gestational. The rest is similar to everyone else, lost house, car, can't work, can't afford LLMD and couldn't get there if I could. Anyways, Around Valentine's Day this year I was hit in the forehead with a small rock on accident, actually I ducked in to one.
It caused a cut on the right side of my forehead about an inch and a half above my eyebrow.
I experienced no loss of consciousness and no amnesia of the event. Felt fine the next day and then the concussion symptoms began.
Nine Days later I went to the ER and received an XRAY and CT which both came back negative.
Considering this was close to two weeks in from the hit, I wasn't my usual Post Lyme Suspicious Patient and took it as the truth.
He sent me home with Two weeks worth of Antibiotics incase there was any infection from the cut.
I began taking my Lyme protocol again but at a lesser strength because of the abx.
I have yet to get to a LLD for a whole posts worth of reasons...but have a somewhat decent protocol down for myself after two years of hard research and trial and error.
About four days later I woke up feeling 90% better after a colloidal silver dose. That night my Daughter was admitted to Nemours for a three day asthma attack.
Long story short I was left an hour away from home with none of my medicine...none. For five days.
I began the treatment again asap. But about four days into the treatment I woke up with the worst Herx I've ever had in my life.
Flu like, skin rash, joints stiff and in pain, nausea, but a whole set of Neuro symptoms I have never experienced before...like aboves mistake.
I mean I definitely have Neuro Lyme,but it seemed to go downhill quickly after the concussion.
I went back to the doctor, was sent again for img tests,and was told I was fine.
It's been 11 days or so since then.
I am feeling better today even though I'm tired, and having joint pain I am not shocked about it due to the stress overload of my life this week.
My family thinks it's the concussion, and doesn't understand the Bb infection and what it does.
I am at a loss as to why the symptoms are different and more intense localized only to my brain and skull.
About a week ago I noticed my skull changes shape based on stress and exertion levels for the last week. I obviously have tried my hardest to avoid stress and over exertion upon this awesome new symptom.
I never have any other physical symptoms besides a sense of sinus pressure that fluctuates, the rest is all cognitive and sensory.
I have been reading about Die Off and am wondering if its possible this is a parasitic die off of some sort?
Or a Lyme Symptom flare because of the trauma? Or simply a more intense Herxheimer from the abx homeopathic Vitamin Herb Combo?
Any input or advice would be so appreciate d as I still consider myself a way new Lymie. I haven't had The Neuro Lyme symptoms but for a year or so. Prior to that my Bb was RA for Halloween every day of the year. Thanks in advanced ~B Posts: 4 | From Central Florida | Registered: Mar 2015

Amoxicillin 500 mg three Times a day, but I knew there might be a problem from the Lyme. So instead I did two a day until they were gone. One AM one PM.
My Protocol contains Vit. C 1000mg twice a day, Garlic 100mg a day, Homeopathic Candida, Adrenal, and Body Pure Nos. Twice a day Burdock 475mg twice a day, vitamin D 5000, A-LYp-Acid 600 mg and mixture of Cayenne,Cinnamon, wormwood and Astragulus I buy in bulk and put in capsules myself. (I measure it to be the same each time), probiotics, and a multi vitamin. I also take activated Charcoal every other day. And drink tons of lemon water. I take a one week break of everything but the Vit C, Multi Vitamin, and Probiotics, but during this time I take a Renew Life Cleanse and do a Low Enema.
I've been on this protocol since November for the most part and had no issues other than the expected herx. Which had actually started to go away prior to the head injury.

Rest lying in a dark room is really the best way to recover from a concussion. Very hard to do I know. Reintroduce activity in slow increments. Avoid anything that makes you feel worse.
I too had a concussion on top of Lyme. My LLMD said it would take longer to recover because I was already dealing with the Lyme. It was about six months ago, and I did recover pretty well from the concussion - still dealing with other stuff of course.
Even now though, there are still a few things that trigger the concussiony feeling in my head, including very bright or flashing lights.

I've dealt w concussion! Best to stay away from anything that increases circulation until symptoms are gone. Can have micro tears! Fish oils, hemp, chia seeds, arnica orally, salmon, blueberries help. Rest alot!! The shape changing sounds like the cranial plates are unstable. Gently massage the sutures between pariatals!
