Hi all,

I wanted to know if any of you feel the following symptoms:

- jaw pain
- jaw pressure
- blurred vision
- very dull headache
- the dull headache feels like your head is in thick goo or something...it's hard to describe

I have the joint pain in my knees, one finger, my neck is stiff and hurts, sometimes in my hips. I can deal with all of the joint pain...I just can't deal with the foggy head and the above symptoms. Sometimes I feel like my jaw hurts so much I'm going to faint. I just want it to go away. If any of you have had any of this and can tell me that I'll get better over time, I'd love to hear from you!

Lyme since Oct of 2003 = 9 months...on abx for 42 days.

Thanks,
Melissa

Yes, I had similar symptoms and long term abx reduced them, considerably. I still have my neurological symptoms.

Yes - I feel like I'm trying to think through fields of cotton i.e. brain fog - and yes generally I have a headache at that time.

I've been on abx for almost 4 months, and finally getting better. It will subside with treatment.

You may want to look at adding supplements to your regime, if you're not doing that already. Check Dr. B's guidelines for what and amounts. I think that has helped me, I started them just a few weeks ago.
