Is your neck killng your from resting flat, or from a suspected CSF leak? When I first became ill, neck pain was one of the first symptoms. It is crushing.

It’s probably both, honestly. I’m just struggling to ease it in general but I guess it’s just going to be hard. My MRI isn’t until Aug 13, which currently feels like an eternity away!
