Hello ladies,

I haven't posted in a while. Hope all is well with you all.

Have any of you experienced what feels like a migraine but instead of the head pain and pressure that is typically associated with it I have neck pain with stiffness? It feels sort of like when you sleep crooked and get a crick in your neck. I haven't had a period since February. I also have nausea and a nervous feeling in my legs. My anxiety of course is playing a role in some of this I'm sure. Does anyone else get this?

    Hi!

    I get this sometimes, yes. Migraine symptoms (sensitive to light and sound, nausea or pain in gut, sometimes vertigo) but the pain is where my neck and shoulders meet instead of my head. Sometimes further down my back as well. If it's really bad, I get the pain in all those places.

    I am looking for a neurologist now... the meds the GP prescribed are not as effective as they used to be, or maybe this year has just been bad, or maybe both).
