Friday Oct 10th
had it yesterday too. I thought I was doing well but loose track of time. It is back. Not bad yet. On the fence to brain chemistry changing to the how can I kill myself because this is how life has been since 2001.
So far, not ther eyet. So asking for prayers that I will not get there and instead the pressure/inflamation/pain will go away.
Typin gthis with yeyes closed.
Thought I was doing better and able to do a bit more since going to the chir but not sure if that is true.
Then chiro changed me to one treatment a wek instead of two.
I have 3 more appt then will need to stop as that is it for what medicare will allow.
I was suprised they allowed the chiro at all and even more surprised it did seem to help.

I have had migraines for years. I finally was prescribed a med to help that did help.
I would be able to take it and get to work.
Then, this head stuff started and the stuff for the migraines did nothing.
This stuff also changes the chemistry in the brain to thoughts of how to throw in the towel and I think I have lived with the stuff daily since 2001 and it is time to stop living with it.
That is the part that scares me the most.

the brain started with the pressure again. It was so nice to wake without it.
Then, it seems just trying to do a few things around the apartment and it starts up again.
Going to get some ice and take a couple of excedrin....it is not letting up. Hoping the ice and excedrin help.
Laying here has not helped. Did very little this am. Maybe 10 min on my feet. And took picutres which was too much on the brain

I did not take the excedrin last night. I should have I think. Woke at 4 am with the really bad symptoms: ...don't want to think about them but should so I can tell doc as I forget about them when they are gone.
Took 2 excedrin at 4 am. It is almost 9 am now. Doing better. I have the depends on but things are settling down. Hoping that if I just lay low and get hydratee and maybe applesauce in me I'll slowly recover. Wondering if it has something to do with elimination system. I had difficulty peeing yesterday and felt like I neede dto pee last night but couldnt' go. before bed time.
I had just drank 2 glases of the lemon drink too so should have be able to go pee.
This morning it was the loose stools thing again but I think tha thappenes because of the pain in the brain and almost vomitting but didn't thankfully...had to really work at calming the body down and breathing
laid on the couch without clothes on and had the door open to help cool the body off...it was seating and
Need to get up and get ice packs when able.

Be sure to write some of this down so you can tell the doctor when you see her.
Hope your day improves?

Have you tried taking apple cider vinegar? I've not had what you've been describing, but my Lyme manifested itself in a new way a few months ago-- a headache somewhere around an 8 on a scale of 1-10. It lasted for hours... it was apple cider vinegar that finally kicked it for me, and I've been taking it ever since to try to keep them at bay. It's worked, thankfully, so far... I've only had one more of those headaches... I take two tablespoons in water between each meal, and if I'm feeling really agitated or depressed, I take a bit more. It seems to counter the poisons in my brain and clear it somewhat...
I hope your day takes a turn for the better!
