John I'm sorry if I offended you that was the last thing on my mind. I said that I want to live my life while I have one. I didnt say I want to spread covid 19 to others. I keep my distance wear a mask. I myself dont want to be diagnosed with covid 19. I hope this dispels your worries x

About headache and excruciating neck pain. I suffered many years ago. I also had a pain go through my head a loud bang no one else could hear. I thought I'd had a stroke. Wonder if others have experienced this strange symptom

I’ve had that bang that seems to feel as if your head is going to explode , apparently it is quite common , there is a name for it and it isn’t serious .

Do you sleep curled up is that causing your neck pain and headache ? I hope you find some relief .🤞

its a strange world isn’t it , how some people suffer so much , others go through life with no problems , it’s nice to share things with others who have the same symptoms so you know you’re not the only one .There are always people worse than us so we feel for them , count our blessings .be strong and hugs back to you .🙂

Wanting to get rid of my seizures and epilepsy, which I've had for 47 years. I spoke to my Neurologist recently and he's changing medication once again... 3rd one in 14 months! When will it ever stop? No wonder all our medications react with one another, but if it works it's worth a try!

Sending you all positive vibes!
