Hello all…
Woke up this morning and have struggled with holding my head up for any length of time. It’s just uncomfortable, I don’t look like a newborn or anything. I developed a headache at the base of my head late in the evening. Really tired today, but didn’t sleep.
Anyone else experience this? My husband is looking at me like I’m nuts!
Thanks!
Leslie
I get bad neck pain followed by a headache, and it's right at the base of my skull. For me, it's not so much that I can't hold my head up, and I don't have weakness with it... it just hurts so much it feels like I need to lay down and give my neck a break. Lol.
Usually Ibuprofen will back off the headache. If not, or if the neck pain continues, I'll take a muscle relaxant at bedtime.

Hi Leslie - yes, for the past few weeks, off and on, I have found that sometimes when I lift my head up off the pillow, it feels really heavy and I have difficulty holding it up. I will see my doctor soon and ask her what might be going on. I will let you know what she thinks. I am also prone to Migraines, which I developed about 5 months after I was diagnosed with Fibro 20 years ago. Laurie
