Welcome to NeuroTalk.

I would suggest, that you try putting some ice packs on the spine at the level where you have these painful attacks and symptoms.
Ice can slow down inflammation, and autoimmune issues have an inflammatory component. Use ice packs for 20 minutes duration 3 times a day with a thin cloth between the skin and pack. Avoid HEAT, hot tubs or hot long showers, heating pads on your back where the ganglia are. Heat will activate pain and make it worse. Heat will fuel more inflammation.

Also antioxidants may help. Grapeseed extract in doses of 200mg a day, or curcumin enhanced absorption type, are both powerful antioxidants which calm inflammation.

Omega-3 fish oils, also help with nerve damage and repair.

As Glenn states, viral problems often calm down. But that takes time.
