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,
• limit or eliminate emotional toxins and stress that tends to trigger migraines,
• 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.
