Yeah, I know, I've been posting a lot of questions, but my symptoms freak me out so much I guess I just need reassurance that someone else out there has them too!
I frequently get a build up of pressure in my head, and when I jerk my head (which I've started going on purpose) I feel a "pop" similar to the pop you get when you crack your knuckles and the pressure goes away for a few seconds.
Does anyone else get this?

I used to get that the same year I got bitten by ticks. It eventually went away, but it was really odd. I didn't get sick until much later though.
I would say it is just part of the whole Lyme thing.
Maybe it could even be due to swelling of the brain from Lyme, but I don't think it's anything you need to worry about....if you are getting proper treatment it will get better eventually.
Good luck.

This is somewhat common and has been mentioned in several articles as one of the first signs to some lyme patients that something is wrong.
I hope you are getting the care you need with a LLMD. Try not to move your neck suddenly or strain your neck in other ways.
Magnesium and B-6 might help but be sure to mention this to your doctor, too.
