i do have an abnormal spect scan and sometimes get scared cuz the pressure is sooo much..

the neck pain feels almost cripiling!!

anyone else??

Even though on most days I don't necessarily need to be adjusted, my chiro stretches me out, does traction on my neck, positioning with my head, and gets to certain pressure points which really help with the head pressure, neck, and back pain.

Ask around about a good chiropractor who knows how Lyme affects the body.

It went away for awhile while I was on flagyl and Ledum earlier this year - but since stopping, back with a vengeance. It takes constant maintenance to keep it manageable - I hate it

get a chiropractor that does SUBLAXATIVE treatments and the table being a DROP TABLE. as they push down on you, table drops in those areas so you don't feel all that pressure.

i've been going to one of this special type for 3-5 months now; made great progress.

i don't have head pressure, but severe neck problems from severe falls to my neck/head/shoulder area ... permanent damage.

I used to work for one, a couple of chronic Lyme patients would come in a couple times/week for relief. (Little did I know - I was one at the time!)

My chiro does neck traction, adjustments, electrical stim etc.. at each appt (covered by insurance!!!) I will be adding in cold laser therapy later.

I look forward to these appts- and love how I feel afterwards!

With all of it, for me, there is a definate link to stress and worry. Always makes it worse! Lyme has forced me to simplify my life greatly.
