Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 I'm adding more. I just got off a mold site. It says that people with compromised immune systems would be more at risk along with those with chronic sinusitus etc. Would we be considered to have a compromised immune system? I know we have an over active immune system. Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question. It didn't list anything about a stiff neck though. I've got someone hired to come in and take out our sky lights and check flashing on our pipes for the bathroom fans. I think I should go back on vaction where I felt great until the work can be done. Spring doesn't look to be coming anytime soon. Temps here in wis are still in the single digits at night. We can't do the roof work until the temps go up. Thanks for listening to me. Tami in Wis stiff neck HI, Just wondering if I should be concerned about my stiff neck. 3 weeks ago I had a stiff neck for a week. Now I've had a stiff neck for 10 days. No fever, just usual tiredness, headaches etc. I also feel like I'm getting something because I've been sneezing and my sinuses have been draining and gagging me in the A.m. Could mold in the house or in the house plant dirt actually cause this symptom? Tami in Wis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Tami, I too have a stiff neck lately with draining, gagging, and stuffy nose now. I keep using my sinus wash and hoping it will just go away as I am maxed out on meds. I have had the " flu " feeling for over a month though it could be from the fibro or css, I don't know yet. Let me know what you find that helps. Trudy. > HI, > Just wondering if I should be concerned about my stiff neck. 3 weeks ago I had a stiff neck for a week. Now I've had a stiff neck for 10 days.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Trudy, I'm wondering if there's a virus going around that causes this. That would explain your flu like feeling. I'll let you know what happens after the mold removal. I'm also going to see my ent next week. Maybe he'll have a clue.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Tami, I had the flu/respiratory virus that was making the rounds here. It lasted two weeks and the cough lasted three more. I felt good for a few days, now can't shake this feeling. My whole body hurts. It is hard to determine whether it is the flu, fibro, css, or something else. Now they are testing me for lupus too. I am about ready to give up. My body is rebelling big time for some reason. I just keep thinking...everyday above ground is a good day at this point.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 I just posted this to my Lyme group website. I hope it helps somebody:We have all had our stiff necks, eh? What's that about?!?! Not sure I know the true answer for all of us, but here's a little anecdote that might shed some light for some:About a month ago, my 18-year-old son , who has Lyme (and Company!), woke up with his neck stiffer than ever. He was VERY uncomfortable. We tried massage and tumeric and heat, without much improvement. Then I took him to a chiro trained in nutrition and kinesiology. The doc said 's neck ache was related to his thyroid, and that he probably needed iodine!He treated with laser and a gentle kind of adjustment, and I started on a little Dr. Ron's iodine, which is like Iodoral, but withOUT the magnesium stearate. seemed fixed! We happened to be going to our LLND soon after, so we told her the story. She shook her head in doubt. But then she tested , and agreed: he needs iodine. So much so, in fact, that she recommended twice the dose I had just started giving him!So I started thinking, is it possible that many of our stiff neck problems have been about iodine deficiency or other thyroid problems? Are you taking iodine? How's your thyroid? B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
