I get that. It's very frustrating. I get a lot of headaches & a lot of other pains. It has been many years, I think I am getting better at coping with it. The only thing that sometimes helps is to have extra sleep, like an afternoon nap on weekends etc. & allow my body to recover, sometimes I do neck & shoulder & upper back stretching to ease pain, but when it's that intense I have to rest. Any exercise helps, I think it realigns the body acids whatever they're called, but especially stretching muscle groups for me helps.

I hope yours is temporary like some people say they get. I had to accept there is no cure & try to make the most of my life despite being in pain for the majority of it. That took years. That's OK I guess, I still have a lot of years to go yet.....

Best wishes,
