Try using a cold pack on the back of the neck. 20 minutes tops, with a protecting cloth between your skin and the pack. I use a gel pack from 3M...which I purchased on Amazon. Seems drug stores don't have them much anymore. I did this twice a day.

That is what I did when I was having my nasty drug reaction.
It seemed to cool the whole spinal cord and reduced the full body effects I was having. (bradykinin release).

I also had lower body problems, so I sat on a cold pack twice a day too. It was a pretty awful experience, but once I stopped that drug (lisinopril) it started to abate, after a week or so.
