Since march of last year. Every waking moment, I have had a pain at the base of my skull where it meets my spine.

It is constant. I can't escape if and nothing I've done has helped.

I would do anything for just an hour of relief. I've heated it. Iced it. Massaged it.

Nothing. Just pain.

I also have this dull pain/pressure at the back of my head.

That and the brain fog, my head truly is the worst part on my body. It sucks.

Any thoughts or words of wisdom?

I'm reeling today... A year of inescapable pain is difficult.

Thanks everyone,

Louis

I had the exact same thing- does your pain ever grow into headaches? Mine would develop into crushing migraines.

I will tell you what has helped me immensely-

I saw a chiropractor that specializes in Atlas Orthogonal (sp?) adjustments. I was reluactant to see ANOTHER chiro, but this actually worked. Your atlas is a tiny bone that connects your head to your spine. If this gets rotated, it can cause tons of pain.

I have been to many chiros, and they never helped my migraines. I was very skeptical.

But, with Atlas adjustments you do a lot of xrays to measure your exact head rotation, and they do not adjust you by snapping or cracking anything. I didn't think it was going to do anything, but I couldn't believe the results.

Maybe google atlas orthogonal adjustments?

Actually, 2 months ago I was in the ER a couple times, and now while I do still have neck pain and headaches, it is SO much better..

Also, I got a special pillow from the healthy back store. Silly huh? I was a stomach sleeper but they told me that was the worst for your neck. When you sleep on your stomach, and put your head on a pillow, it is really bad for you.

I would wake up with burning, searing pain in my neck. But, since getting a new pillow (which took a bit to get used to) and getting the atlas adjustments I am feeling much better.

also, since properly treating the lyme I am getting much better also.

I hope this helps. I don't know where you are, but if you are in the DC area I would be happy to pass along the name of my chiro.

Happy healing thoughts to you.

Hello friend! Long time no hear from.

I was hoping that meant you were well.

Watch the Youtube link.

PM me after you watch it.

Do you have sore feet (bottoms, especially in the morning), lower back pain, deep muscle pain, rage, stomach issues, or streaks that look like stretch marks or varicose veins that weren't there before?

These are all Bart symptoms. I would look into that. There are great naturals and Rx that will deal with it.

Let me know.
