I have gotten really sick twice since having ME. Both times housebound for two years but gradually getting to my baseline of 4-5 hours activity out of house. Both times felt like I had meningitis- stiff neck, stiff back and just all over inflammation and sickness. Was wondering if anyone else experienced/experience numbness in back muscles? Both times when this sick my husband will rub my back but it doesn’t feel good because I can’t feel my back muscles. When I feel better I can feel them...crazy illness
