I've had stiffness and weird pains following flu-like sickness, but this is ridiculous. My neck is absolutely killing me today. Turning my head while driving was downright painful, and I can't seem to get comfortable sitting here this morning at my desk.
Of course, I naturally worry that it's something really serious, but checking WebMD, I don't have any of the other symptoms for meningitis, so I think I'm OK there. It does say neck pain is a common symptom of the flu, which is presumably what I had given the range of symptoms.
I can turn my head about 30 degrees in either direction before it just hurts like a sonuvabitch. Not good.
I'm really tired of being disabled.
Addemdum:
Start loading up on vitamin D. Yeah, D. Vitamin D is appearing in more and more studies as a virus deterrent, and I've actually watched a co-worker avoid sickness numerous times by loading up on it. (His wife and kid have been sick several times this year, and he usually catches it. Since he jumped on the Vit.D bandwagon, he's been healthy.)
I get this really bad, I usually have strep throat and can not move my head at all without serious pain. Without asprin its unbearable.
