I don't know else how to explain what my head feels like now. This has come and gone with me since being sick, but the Mepron really did a number on me and I believe I'm still dealing with the tail end of the Herx, or at least I hope.
My head starts killing me while I'm sleeping and it wakes me up each morning, so I have to get up, no if ands or buts about it.
Once I'm up, I just go to my office chair and sit. The change in blood flow makes my head feel like I just banged my head. It's not so much the pain, and that is there too, but it's like I jarred my brain feeling. Like I banged my head on a table or something and it's that feeling you get when you would bang your head, but in normal people it goes away after a few seconds. I don't know else how to describe it.
Just curious if anyone else feels this or can relate. It seems if I get up and walk around it eases up, but because I get so out of breath from simple walking, I find myself back in the chair.
I know much of this is Autonomic Dysfunction and blood flow issues.
Will address with LLMD today.

What you describe is what my son has described since he first got sick... I wish I could wave a magic wand and make it all go away!

I have been treated for lyme for 4 years. The headache that you described was one of my first symptoms along with a stiff neck. It is horrible. It took me a long time to get rid of it but it still comes back. I have to take 2 excedrins to get out of bed and then I tie an ice brick,that we use in coolers, to the back of my neck and it seems to subside some. I eventually had to get a pain killer. These are things that I did. Talk to your LLMD. I wish you the best with this symptom. It sucks!
