Does anyone deal with this symptom and have any suggestion for relief? And which would you say is the cause?..lyme,babs,bart. I already take tumeric and NSAIDS when needed for inflammation and they seem to help a little. But I dont want to take NSAIDs if its not an inflammation issue.
Its gotten pretty bad since i bumped up to a full dose of zithromax. The pressure causes me to become slightly anxious, confused, and dizzy..neck snap cracks n pops worse .
I know minocycline can increase pressure but i've been on that for months. I don't want to take baby doses of zith but I dont want to cause brain damage either
I treated lyme only for about 11 months with mino/biaxin/doxy and got up to 95% and somedays 100...only lingering symptoms were stiff neck on one side and some neuro issues (fluorescent lights bother me).
I tested neg for coinfections (i know testing is unreliable) but my LLMD thinks I have bartonella because a majority of my sx that stick out are neuro . Started zith and going to add rifampin after a few more weeks.

Babesia can also cause a number of neuro symptoms, although I can't say for certain because I was positive for Babesia and Bartonella and have neuro symptoms. But when I take artemisinin for Babesia I get the kind of pressure and neuro symptoms you describe so Babesia and Babesia die-off can definitely cause those symptoms.

Hi Matt!
Have you considered systemic enzyme therapy? Systemic enzymes are "over the counter," and some LLMD's do advise their patients to take them.
This treatment reduces inflammation. The biggest sign that I got of their effectiveness was that within two weeks of starting Wobenzym, my daily headaches decreased significantly.
I no longer wake up every day with a splitting headache.
