Yeah, I know how crazy that sounds. Had all these probs since treated for strep weeks ago (see "Veteran Lymies, Help). Haven't been on abx for years.

First Forehead for days, then above and behind ears, now parietal region and base of skull (occipital area)

Or else the lyme has finally really gone to my head and I am insane imagining this.

Thank you for any reply you might have.

Amber,
Anything is possible. There is a bad cold going around, involving head and chest congestion. Yes there was head swelling so bad the skull bones hurt, and there was wheezing and crackling.

But, you have other symptoms that are beyond a cold.
Perhaps the swelling is lymph congestion from die off from abx.

But then you have edema and blood in urine, too.

Thirst: drinking enough? Some salt in water? Also, a symptom of kidney problems.

That would be enough for me to get on the phone the first thing this morning, to talk to medical experts.

Please call them now!

I definitely have this symptom. I know what you mean about the bone behind your ear hurting.

Adoxa has really helped me with these symptoms.

Definitively. I had only the top of my head with swelling and light pain if touched. Farah's essential oils worked (and work) wonderful.
