The dizziness is better and only lasted 2 days. The throbbing neck and teeth are better and only sort of come on just before dinner.

I've started lysine again, because I think this is a shingles pain activation. (I had my original shingles, down my right neck and arm). The lysine is helping the most. I am wearing 1/3 patch of Lidoderm on my right neck at night.

This is not a flu, or cold, but perhaps some Epstein Barr reactivation or the Herpes Zoster I think. (or some odd sinusitis).

Tues and Weds last week were awful, but each day now I am a bit better. I am doing the ice packs at bit less each day. And last night I tried a 1/2 flexeril and that helps it appears. Sure seems like irritated nerves to me!

It is so cold here... we are on the 4th installment of below zero temps...not common for us at all.

A friend of my husband lives across the state, and says her family has this stiff neck and headache pain, etc also. They think it is a virus too. Both kids and adults have it, the same time as me. Hubby does not have it (yet).

Thank you for asking!
