| Severe Neck Pain Symptom |
|
Question:
Does anyone suffer severe back of the neck pain??
I am in constant pain with this problem.
Answer:
I have currently started this symptom back in Sept. It comes
and goes with me. Seems that one theroy is that the HHV6 Virus lives in
the lymph node glands in the back of the neck. I take Symmetrel for it and
gennerally in a few days it passes. But all the time it is very active I
have trouble even turning over in bed.
Any stress at all increases it and
I pray that it passes and gennerally it does. Also this is unusual to help
the pain but a heat pad placed one the side of the neck gennerally help the
neck pain go away. I switch sides with it and it helps the neck pain pass
quicker.
The severe pain I get in the back of my neck is
at the base of my skull. I only get this pain in
the worst of my relapses. I think this pain I get
is some sort of inflamation of the brain stem.
Although my diagnosis is not actually CFS, the list has been
unbelievably helpful to me, both in the sense community and in the
amount I have learned.
My actual diagnosis is chronic Lyme disease which was misdiagnosed as
CFS/FM for many years. I am, therefore, always concerned that others
might be misdiagnosed ,because Lyme tests are notoriously inaccurate.
Neck pain is a common symptom of Lyme disease. For m e it was an early
symptom
that finally went away . My neck was so stiff that I wondered if I had
menningitis.
