Just curious - does the nausea and dizziness go away after you've been up awhile?

I checked with my chiropractor today and he said if the atlas vertebra - C1 - is subluxated, that can cause dizziness. If C2 is subluxated, that can cause nausea.
And Lyme patients, in particular, can have spinal problems since Lyme attacks the joints, soft tissues and nerves.
Any chiropractor we see needs to be really good at checking and adjusting the neck. This cannot be done by someone who doesn't know what they're doing.
Believe you me, I've been through a lot of the latter kind, and now ONLY see chiros who are great at upper cervical adjusting.
If it has anything to do with the neck, the relief happens very quickly.

Doc told me viral biotoxins really cause hepatic stress.
I'm not using the right lingo here, but basically, same thing with me. Super nauseated, not able to vomit, almost become faint, then get crazy diarrhea and feel better.
Like a hangover every morning but without the booze as a cause.
Overburdened liver is what I was told was the cause of this for me.

Here's a completely different take on it...just something to consider. I was having this issue. I felt weird in the morning...kind of uncomfortable and a bit anxious due to how my stomach felt.
Then I would get up and have diarrhea. Sometimes I would have to go twice urgently. I used to have what I call normal IBS symptoms since I've been sick with Lyme but this has now gone further.
I can't believe you posted this and are having this problem because I just wrote about this under earthing and grounding subject! I had the diarrhea for about 5 months and then had a colonoscopy and endoscopy about a month ago. They found some irritation but it was mostly normal.
I had asked for biopsies to be done for h pylori and histamine activation syndrome. I think the test was CD117. The results were that I had lymphocytic colitis....which basically just means inflammation that only shows on microscopic examination.
It does not lead to cancer and can be caused by infection, drugs,,,and I can't remember what else. The doc had me take 14 days of peptobismal because it contains bismuth and this is supposed to treat h-pylori (even tho they couldn't find it on the biopsy). Bismuth has also been found to treat gastro Lyme.
Well the pepto didn't do anything till there was three days left of treatment and then I improved. BUT....I had also taken antihistamines those last three days.So....I am not sure what worked. Histamine intolerance can cause your symptoms and mine. Check out the earthing and grounding post for the rest of the story.
I had to have my husband come home from work today because I was so dizzy, nauseous, and chills with shakes. Took a doxy and an antihistamine and temp is now 97 instead of 96 and I feel better. Not sure what did it . Check out histamine intolerance.

Thanks.....I was excited to find this today
Borrelia burgdorferiSpirochetes Induce Mast Cell Activation and Cytokine Release

Next Section INFECTION and IMMUNITY ABSTRACT The Lyme disease spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, is introduced into human hosts via tick bites. Among the cell types present in the skin which may initially contact spirochetes are mast cells. Since spirochetes are known to activate a variety of cell types in vitro, we tested whether B. burgdorferi spirochetes could activate mast cells.
We report here that freshly isolated rat peritoneal mast cells or mouse MC/9 mast cells cultured in vitro with live or freeze-thawed B. burgdorferi spirochetes undergo low but detectable degranulation, as measured by [5-3H] hydroxytryptamine release, and they synthesize and secrete the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α).
In contrast to findings in previous studies, where B. burgdorferi-associated activity was shown to be dependent upon protein lipidation, mast cell TNF-α release was not induced by either lipidated or unlipidated recombinant OspA.
This activity was additionally shown to be protease sensitive and surface expressed. Finally, comparisons of TNF-α-inducing activity in known low-, intermediate-, and high-passage B. burgdorferi B31 isolates demonstrated passage-dependent loss of activity, indicating that the activity is probably plasmid encoded. These findings document the presence in low-passage B. burgdorferi spirochetes of a novel lipidation-independent activity capable of inducing cytokine release from host cells.
