You know, I am sitting here barely able to stand the pain in my neck and I am almost in tears. I really am having a hard time today. I wish the pain would subside quickly. I can barely turn my neck to the right and it feels like someone is squeezing and twisting the inside of my neck so hard, I just want to take the pressure off. I am writing this because at least it takes my mind off the pain a little bit. I know you guys truly understand. I'm not sure how long the pain will last. It is from stress and worry. Thanks for listening and I will talk to you a little bit later.

So sorry about the neck pain. That is the worst kind sometimes. Do you have one of those U shaped pillows to go around your neck? I find them very helpful because they provide some support and it lets the muscles relax.

I'm so sorry you're in so much pain. I know exactly how you feel. I felt like I had something really heavy around my neck. Do you have some muscle relaxers? I take a Soma and rub some eucalyptus oil on my neck or stand in the shower with water, as hot as I can stand it, pointed right to my neck. I hope you find some relief. xoxoxo

Seems like we can never rid ourselves of the pain totally. Only mask it for a while......

Taralynn, honey, I'm so sorry. I haven't had it from fibro lately, but do know what it feels like. I wish I could be there to rub it away! Muscle relaxer's? Do you have anything? Definitely a heating pad tho!

I also hold all my stress in my neck. I have had whiplash twice & my neck is all kinds of screwed up. Have you ever been in a car accident?

I am so sorry to hear that you are not doing well. :( I truly do understand. However, I know that it doesn't make it any easier for you to deal with the pain. Please feel free to vent, cry, scream, whatever you need to do to help yourself through this difficult time. Maybe try alternating hot and cold compresses. Or a long hot bath or shower. I hope you get to feeling well soon. I would hate for you to be hurting during the holidays. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Let us know how you are doing.

Love
Tink

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
