i am still suffering from this headache.
the pain above my eyebrows is so bad that if you press on my forehead, i just groan. underneath the eye is not bad nor is above my teeth. seems to be eyebrow to top of skull and at temples where it swells.
i woke up this morning with extremely bloodshot eyes. eventually cleared up tho.
man, this headache is bad. or is it a sinus? i've tried everything over the counter for sinus adn absolutely nothing works.
any ideas? yep, done poti pot, salt water, etc.,

Does anything like Advil or Alleve bring temporary relief? I've had constant debilitating type headaches daily for last 3 months. A lot of lightheadedness along with it. I and the LLMD attribute it all to Bartonella. But Advill lessons the pain temporarilly.

well the excedrin migraine has lessened the pain somewhat. like from a 10 to about ah oh 4.
i'm ready to try the biaxin again. i mean this headache is one badass....
my bp does not go up with it. course i've been exercising and that keeps it down. and of course the tingling in the arms and legs. oh joy...
but i do wake up in the middle of the night with this headache.
and i do have to say it's mostly the right side of my face.
wierd huh? or just lyme...

Tingling arms and legs, right side of face, terrible eye and forehead pain, excrutiating... Sounds exactly like bartonella to me. I take Lortab with Ibuprofen to cope through them, but make sure you are treating it!!! It's a lot better to have those headaches because of herxing, rather than it just doing damage.

I say bartonella.. when I took A-Bart, that was my herx! Lowering the dose made it go away.

I used Colloidal silver for a sinus infection and got a nasty headache and much worse symptoms. For sinus issues, I find that the NeilMed Sinus Rinse really helps.
However, I have a headache (or eye ache) similar to what you describe -- really aches behind my eyes and in the eye muscles. And my eyelids are droopy (the latter being a symptom of the autoimmune disease Myasthenia Gravis). [Mine is mostly on the left side.] I'm not sure what Lyme co infection is responsible for this, but I'm convinced it's related and not just a sinus infection.

My eye droopiness also got a lot worse on Rifampin. I usually associate my left-sided symptoms with Lyme and most of my right-sided symptoms with Bart, but... Who knows! Because the entire left side of my face dropped and grimaced while on Rifampin (which primarily treats bart, though my LLMD says it also treats the cyst form of Lyme). Headaches behind the eye and especially pain upon moving the eyes are very bart-specific symptoms.
