New Symptoms

Soooo I have had some new-ish symptoms lately, but they haven't started to really worry me until today.
It is probably nothing.
Or it could be a simple infection or flu that will just take its course.
But... because of how I woke up today, my upcoming appt with my GP to go over bloodwork results is also going to include asking her about the symptoms. It's the first time in a while that I have felt like something was off/wrong.

First of all, my migraines have been occurring almost daily. I definitely have a bad headache each day and for the last 2 months, they have evolves into migraines. Bad ones. Nearly every day. So much so that I had to go on an additional medication to help me handle them.

Then I had this weird day a couple weeks ago where I thought I just overdid it and pulled something, but ever since then I have had difficulty moving my head from side to side without shooting pains down into my shoulder blades. I had overdone it the night before, so it could just be simple exertion.

I have been feeling much worse lately overall - nauseous and weak and shaky and a low appetite. Plus my tolerance for heat is suuuuuper low.

This morning I woke up with an extremely sore and stiff neck. I didn't sleep funny - I slept the same way I always do. And yet I can barely move my neck today it's so sore.
I also have been feeling extra ill and hot overnight, and with all of these new symptoms, I decided to check my temperature. Not bad. It's a little bit high for MY normal but not fever range. (Not that it really matters since because of my HAE my body doesn't usually present with a fever even for the worst infections).

I don't know.
I am probably worrying myself over nothing.
I will go and get bloodwork today and maybe it will show something out of the ordinary. Or maybe I just caught a bit of the flu by being out at Stampede that one day.
Time will tell.
