My most disabling symptom is pressure at the top of the neck, base and top of the skull. It affects my vision, balance and is worsened by anxiety, or any slight stress. i feel I will black out any second.I'm most comfortable lying on my side.

I'd like to understand whether dying bacteria worsen this with abx use. It seems worse both on Rocephin and Amoxicillin.

My daughter's main symptom is a headache. We have been told that when she is herxing, it will get worse.

She describes her head as hurting "all over". Her LLMD suggested we try Diamox because a lot of times the headaches are caused by pressure. I think she said it helped about half of her patients.

The Diamox did not seem to make a difference for my daughter, but I think it is worth a try for you. We were told to give it to her for a week to see if it worked.

Diamox is supposed to be good for headaches. I hope it works for you!

Yes, abx will make it FEEL worse, but at least you are GETTING BETTER by taking them! The only way OUT is THROUGH!
