Lyme symptoms?

[mowin]

Woke up in the middle of the night with a massive headache. Tried to sit up but got so dizzy I had to lay back down.  Finally got up, and was ok dizziness wize, but bad headache and stiff neck.  Feeling ok now except for mid level headache. Did have a couple tick bites a month ago, but they were not engorged, or had the bullseye rash. 

Called doc and have appointment today at 1:30.

Good idea.  Lyme's symptoms are varied and not easy to pinpoint.  Getting tested is a good idea.  There are a lot of bugs going around right now.  Better to get a negative Lyme's test and be told that you just have a sinus infection than to wait too long.

I woke up to a massive, massive headache that made me throw up, terrible stiff neck and was in so much pain I couldn’t function. 
Trip to er and I had meningitis. In hospital for about a week. Almost 11yrs ago now.

Massive headache combined with stiff neck is a reason to go to the ER immediately.  If it is caused by something serious, the time to getting quick diagnosis and treatment is critical to positive outcome.

 Glad you're feeling better. 

No sweats, no nausea so far. Headache is little better.  Stiff neck and achy.

Well, doc took blood and EKG was fine. Ordered a head CT scan for tomorrow morning. Not sure what he's gonna find in there, lol. He's leaning towards vertigo, but put me on doxy for precaution.  I'll have results of the blood work tomorrow.

Hope all turns out well and can get back to normal quickly!

My sister in law had very similar symptoms Friday.  She was diagnosed with crystals in her inner ear.  She got a scrip and will need to do pt to get her balance back.  Everything is benign, just need to treat it to get back to normal.  She could hardly move on Friday, then had to wait 12 hours in the ER to be diagnosed and treated.

My mom wasn’t feeling well one time a few yrs back. Couldn’t stand up, didn’t feel well. Went to hospital and was diagnosed with vertigo. I’ll never forget, doc comes in and grabs her head. Makes/helps her do all sorts of head turning and twists for a few minutes. 
He then says, can u sit up, she popped up and felt completely fine. It was so strange.

I believe this is what my doc is thinking. CT scan should confirm.
