I had this before, this stiff painful neck, for about a month in February/March. Now it's back again! It hurts! It's scaring me. I can barely move or hold my own head up. The last time I had it, I went to the ER and they couldn't do anything for me.

Has anyone else ever experienced this?? What should I do?

Hi Megara,

This is a 'common' thing with TBD's. I personally have it all the time, as many of us here on the forum.

The only thing that gives me relief for 1 to 2 weeks is going to a good osteopath, or going for fascia therapy (mine does both). He takes away the tension. It comes back, but at least I get some relief (never disappears completely, but the 'unbearable' feeling goes away).

Sorry, what is TBDs?

When I had this before, I couldn't hold my head up myself and had sharp pains in and behind the eyes. That's happening again...I have sharp pains in/behind my right eye and my neck is very painful and weak and stiff. My hearing seems to be affected also. So I guess this is just a common thing to expect?

sorry... Tick Borne Diseases :-)

I have pains behind my eyes too, stiff and painful neck - weak sometimes, but not all the time.

I don't have problems with my hearing though - I'm sure others will jump in on that.

I hope that you get some relief.

Thanks...every symptom just seems so scary. I hate that any of us have to go through this. I just want to get on abx or something to start the healing process.

As stated, this is a very common lyme symptom.  The best thing to do is to up your magnesium.  Lyme strips us of magnesium, causing muscles to tighten.
