Re: Any relief for the headaches???

[Guest guest]

detox and bartonella treatment will decrease the headaches. We all had those --

the icepick in the head feeling -- and it has subsided for all of us with

treatment. But in the meantime I have found that drinking the lemon juice in

water detoxes fast. It's not a direct thing for the migraines but it does help

all symptoms. Know that as you are in treatment you will notice it going away.

So sorry you are having to deal with this. Green tea and licorice root tea may

also help.

Subject: [ ] Any relief for the headaches???

Hi - I too am new to the list. My daughter (8) was diagnosed and tested

positive for lyme, and bart in October 2010. We think she has had lyme for 3

years. We lived on a property that was covered in ticks in the Okanagan area of

BC, and have since moved to town. We are also seeking treatment in the States

from a LLND and are very frustrated at how the Canadian Medical system refuses

to acknowledge long term treatment of Lyme disease!.... My daughter has just

recently begun suffering with intense headaches of migraine proportion and as is

typical with lyme, none of the over the counter meds offer any relief. Has

anyone had any luck with anything else??? We have tried an essential oil blend

called " peppermint halo " in the forehead and temples. It provides a nice

distracting burning sensation but that is about it if the headache is really

bad. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have gotten migraines too all my life and have tried every remedy.

I don't know if mine were from the Lymes or not but I discovered 2

things that helped me. As I got older I realized that I hold fluid in

my inner ear or my upper sinuses, not in my nose, and it helps my

migraines to take a decongestant. I know that sounds crazy but all

the migraine drugs in the world do nothing for me including Rx's. So

you could always try it, Mucinex DM or Guaifenesin will loosen up

pressure in all the sinuses so the pain drugs can work better.

Otherwise, the only thing that ever gave me relief was valium (muscle

relaxer/ antidepressant).

Good luck,

Suzanne

Petadolex!  I suffered years with migraines and my naturopath gave me Petadolex

and after taking this supplement for 60 days I rarely get headaches anymore. 

It has a herb in it called butterbur and it really helps.  I also had relief

from OTC migraine medicine (acetominophen/aspirin/caffeine combo) but not

always, but when it worked it was a relief and worth the try.  You can read

about Petadolex on www.petadolex.com

My daughter had the headaches and her neurologist (who never did manage to

diagnose the Lyme, but did suggest that 'whatever she had' was giving her some

variation on migraines) suggested giving her vit. B2 (riboflavin) 200 mg a day.

It did seem to help though the stuff is awful tasting -- had to grind it up and

put it in very strong tasting chocolate pudding and even then it was not that

appealing. I've tried it for my own migraines and if I take it every day it does

help to prevent them.

My daughter's headaches used to be constant (you couldn't touch her anywhere on

her head or on her upper body) and she also experienced a lot of internal head

pressure. Now she mostly seems to experience smaller focal headaches that come

and go -- and seem to happen when treatment is working for her, so some sort of

herx thing now maybe.
