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!

Toxic mold was suppressing our immune systems, causing extreme pain, brain fog and magnifying symptoms. Four days after moving out, the healing began. Posts: 2007 | From NY/VT Border | Registered: Aug 2010

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!
