When I got sick in 2014 I had a lot of neck pain. Strainy muscles, feeling like I couldnt hold my head up. Sometimes it didnt help laying down.
From symptom start in 2014 I «felt» my neck no matter What I did. The only thing that seemed to help was to use a hoodie. So I basically used a hoodie (with the hood up obviously) for 2-3 years until the weird neck sensation vanished. It felt numb ish from my neck and up in the back of my head/scalp. Very difficult to describe. Using the hoodie made it so I didnt «feel» it all the time since I now felt the hoodie instead which was a huge relief.
Interestingly it vanished simultainously with my recovery. After 3.5 years I started working 30-50% until I relapsed hardcore a year later.
Anyone have/had this?
Or know What it could mean? I find it interesting that it vanished at the same time as I recovered.
Maybe relevant:
I now am diagnosed with autoimmune small fiber neuropathy.
I dont know Where to post this. I probably could have posted it in the pain thread also though pain wasn’t the main symptom in my neck. I had neck pain in the beginning and for a few periods during the 3 year period But the numb weird feeling in my neck/head persisted until I recovered.
