Anyone here with back of the head headaches. I've had these for months on end with many other symptoms. A mri and xrays showed slight herniation and bulging of neck or do think its lyme related.meds dont really help with the headaches.

i am having these too. started on december 10th and not a day has gone by without a headache.
i've got bulging discs thoughout my neck and lower back.
symptoms are: pain in neck, jaw, in front of ear. often sharp stabbing pains over eyes. nausea. no temperature. back of head always hurts. have temple pain.
not to mention extreme head pressure. feels like my head is going to burst. dizziness
i'm scared half to death it might be something else but my doctor so far just says chronic tension and migraines.
My experience has been that Lyme (or one of its coinfections) exploits the body where it is weak. For instance, I get flares in my lower back in places that have previously incurred sports injuries, and these flare-ups happen for no apparent reason.
I've had hernia operations on both sides. I get pain at the areas of incision and internally where the mylar screens were installed.
I had neuroma surgery in my feet and those areas hurt as well as there is scar tissue there.
From talking to other Lyme sufferers, many have concurred with the same experience, having pain in areas that have been previously compromised one way or another.
So, your injured necks are probably being exploited.
When I get a Lyme herx, usually it's an ache on the side of the neck, down through the muscles, but not along the spine for me. It's more off to the side.
I get these neck herxes after using the Doug coil for Lyme or after taking liposomal vitamin C.
Randibear, the Lyme complex throws all kinds of hormones out-of-whack and for women, low estrogen can cause migraines. Some women start experiencing migraines at the beginning of their monthly cycles during menopause because the estrogen levels dip during that time when prior to menopause their hormones were more in balance.
