I have been having a bad time with mood issues going into my second month of Tindamax. I have been having anxiety, depression, anger, panic feelings, stuff like that. But what is new is this itchy feeling in my brain! I've had it on and off since yesterday. I know it sounds crazy but my brain feels itchy or irritated. It's not painful but it is not pleasant. Has anyone else had this? If so did you tell your doctor? What did the doctor say?
thanks for any feedback

Hi Catwoman,
I am sorry to hear you have been having a bad time, those emotions are hard to deal with.
I have had the sensation of itching or crawling, like a bug was crawling on the back of my head scalp feeling? I don't know if that is the same as what you are describing? I don't think I talked to my doctor about it.
I sure hope it goes away for you, and I hope you will start having some good days.

not sure if this is what you are expierenceing, but the back of my head itches at times really bad...it's a creepy crawly feeling..but specific to that area....really bad at night...
there are lymph nodes in the back of the head (where the neck meet the skull- those two bumps) mine actually swelled up, were super tender and really itched badly!!!!!!
it sucked- it lasted for a couple weeks....the swelling is gone-- the itching is better but still here...
I told my Lyme doc and he didn't seemed to shocked, said yes, that's very common with Lyme...
so that's all I know...
I m sorry your going through a rough time with the mood...I have been too...it's really hard..the thing that gets me through it is
knowing that I'm healing and this too will pass....being outside in the fresh air really helps me, also some inspirational books...just rented Wayne Dyers book "60 days to enlightenment"....IT's GREAT!
Much love, Fawne

Thank you guys for answering. Yes the mood/anxiety issues are unpleasant for sure. Pretty miserable actually. I cried for pretty much three days straight. Yesterday was better though so that gives me hope. Thanks for your encouragement.
The itchy feeling is actually more in the top-front area of my head. It comes and goes; I had it again last night. It's not at the back of my head at all. It's pretty strange!

my doctor said my depression/rage/"itchy brain" are side-effects of tindamax and pulled me off it.

Hi,
I wanted to add my experience:
I have feelings of my brain being inflamed, and also I was able to detect, because I could feel it as a "blank" spot /comparable to bad sectors on a hard drive, where the lesion was on my left frontal lobe. When I meditate, I can also sense where the second lesion is, but perhaps this is slightly less impressive, because I know where it is after the fact of the MRI.
I was told a number of times you can't "feel" in your brain. This belief is ignorant. I'm certain that in future, this theory will be de-bunked, just as historically so much other science, medical theories, and "truths" have.
We know so little, but believe we know so much. This is one thing, when you take into account all the facets, the experience of Lyme disease, has taught me.
With best wishes to all,
CBL xx

I'm convinced I can feel the bugs reproducing:
And though I don't own a mobile phone, I did measure the fields in this home - and when they go higher, so do all of my symptoms - including the itching.
