Steps to Improve Lyme Related Migraines

In this video article I describe key supplements and prescription medicines to manage Lyme disease migraines.

In addition to these steps,

  • stop coffee and all caffeinated beverages for a few weeks to see if this helps,

  • try acupuncture,
  • try meditation, and/or
  • treat for babesia if it is present in addition to treating Lyme.

To see if you have babesia, read How to Diagnose Babesia.
