Has anyone had an extremely tender area between the eye and hairline in the temple area? My hair hurts it - this is bizarre!
I have had significant lazy eye in the same eye but no pain. Have had significant pain within the other eye but that's a deep throbbing kind that I'm learning to live with.
I've been on various antibiotics for close to four months now for chronic lyme.
Thanks for all your help - this site has helped me so much through this. God Bless....

Yes, me too. I think I've connected it to a herx sometimes. This week I started some antibiotic eye drops and in 24-48 hours, my eye/cheekbone just under the outside corner of the eye was very tender to the touch and painful.
This has happened to me a number of times. I really think it's a manifestation of a massive die off of Bb in the area, but that's just my opinion. I think it reflects a huge concentration of Bb in that area.
I also get droopy eyelids.

Wondering if temporal arteritis is a possibility, or maybe it just mimics it, like other conditions.
Here's a link to an article. Scroll down to etiology.
I was getting cluster headaches. They were EXTREME pain behind one eye.
It would cause extreme watering of the eye as well.
AlV already mentioned bartonella. I have Bart and am convinced that it was causing this specific type of migraine.
breathing pure O2 snuffs 'em out before they can fully get started...within minutes.
Otherwise, the pain is SO bad, nothing even touches it. No narcotic pain reliever anyway.

Thanks to all of you for your responses. I tested negative for Bartonella, Erlichia and Babesia - just lyme came back postitive.
I think this may be herx too but who really knows at this point.
The roof of my mouth does not hurt at this point, that's about all that doesn't though!
Hope everyone finds some relief soon, feel better and thanks again.

My guess would be it's referred pain from someplace on your skull. Muscle spazms are quite common, usually from Magnesium depletion.
My 'hair hurt' for close to a year. The top of my skull literally felt like someone had bashed it in with a hammer. I couldn't brush my hair, dry it, or quite often wash it.
My LLMD was the only one to figure it out - I had muscle spazms on the back of my skull and shoulders. They literally were like lumps.
Poke around with a knuckle and see if you can find any. I had no idea they were there. If I pressed REALLY hard on one of them, the spazm would hurt but top of skull no longer did. Which is what referred pain is.
If you can, look up 'Trigger Point Injections' or Prolotherapy. Trigger point injections are shots of lidocaine (numbing) injected directly into the spazm. Blissfully numbs the area for a bit, the injection helps bust up the spazm and restore blood flow to the area.
Oh and btw - I wouldn't believe the results of a coinfection test if my life depended on it (and it did). They're worthless.
