Pain in the Neck

Has anyone experienced a stiff neck after 4 EOT,i was thinking it was the way i slept on the couch ,but this was about 2 weeks ago and i still get this stiffness in the back of my neck,its not a headache,at least its not the kind of headace pain ive had before.It also seems to be worse when i lay down and after i just get out of bed,but tru the day its not bad but i still sense it,just hope my spine dont start growing outta my neck...LOL

looks like the EOT sides didnt hit as bad as some others here,BTW i am taking the you know what green stuff and the mushrooms,i didnt take the ginseng because ive read it may cause high BP...ive also started the AVC and ginger root...im also holding off with the VCO for nowjust in case,and switched to olive oil,ive got to get my BP ,its at 140/85...its doable  my doc says if it dont go down after i drop 10 lbs ai may need meds,but its not dangerous just yet

I'm not familiar with machines, but they sure look dangerous.

I've gotten much better. Went to a therapist the other day and she said the pain in my knees were the ligaments just above the knee cap. She treated me (full body) and gave me some simple stretching exercises. She did wonders, the pain is almost gone and I have no problem getting up and down the stairs anymore.I was going sideways before. My body feels overall more agile and balanced.
I'm going for a follow up treatment in 10 days.

This is type of machine i operate,but this one is the new and improved models,its amazing what it can do,if anyone is into brake presses,think thing rocks,its from Germany
Its uses lasers for some of its operations

i knew the pain in the neck title would gain attention LOL ,ive only been waiting 7 days so far for the results,7 more to go,this past week was longer than the 36 weeks of TX and im not kiddn,at least i felt like i was doing something productive by taking the drugs,it kinda keep my mind of things.The interview was ok,but he was advertising for someone who had specfic experience on this certain machine,i do have 20 years experience with only 2 kinds of brake presses and this one is way more advanced tech wise.There were others applying for the job too that proberly had the experience so if i dont get it,its ok.BTW   Are you having any sides?

Ronnie, I'm so rooting for you! It makes me nervous just to think of you still having to wait for the results. Why is it taking so long!

Hope your job interview went well.

Hugs,

Marcia

I don't know anything about having pain in the neck, but i surely know that I can be one at times. ;-)

What would hurt me too would be letting you all down ,i dont want nobody feeling sorry for me if i relapse,but 36 weeks of BOCEPREVIR / RIBA / PEG and my RVR trump card,i have a good chance,what got me a wee bit worried is, one week after TX i noticed a tiny lesion mark near my forehead,looked like a pencil line about 1/4 inch long.I had these marks way before i even knew i had C.Heres something interesting,after i found out i had C(2006).i got really into "liver herbs/foods" and i never had one lesion since then and even tru all 2 TX`s.
BTW it was actually 32 weeks of BOC because of the "lead-in" concept

One time I put the bottle of windex in the refrigerator.....I guess that is about the same thing. :)

I'm just sure you will be fine try to stay calm you have so many of us really pulling for you to make it that it can't possibly be otherwise.  Why you have so many good thoughts going out to you it would be impossible not to get back perfect results for SURE.

I think now it has to be the way i slept one nite watching TV on the sofa.i will gladly trade any EOT problems with a SVR,but,i dont want to have major problems and not get SVR.I think this would be a tough pill to swallowThis waiting for the 4 week PCR is very tense,i cant think straight,im dropping things on the floor and putting things in the wrong places,did you ever put your salt shaker in the freezer,one time my remote control ended up in there but this was before TX,also went for job interview this morning and this ALSO can rack your nerves too.
Once i get the verdict on this friday ,i will feel less anxious(stress)

Yeah but I can't really respond regarding treatment because I have five hernaiations.  I think though you have to be very careful about how you sleep and how many pillows you use....can you buy one of those fancy ones that have that memory cushion type stuff that might help?

I know for me if I sleep too long or lay down watching tv sick or something too long it gets MUCH worse.

Hope it gets better Rock.
