Sorry to miss posting yesterday. I have had a slightly sore stiff neck for a couple of days, and yesterday it seized up on me. I have a knot of muscle tissue poking through the skin on the back of my neck, and the pain has been horrific - I swear, it felt like something was broken. I went to the doctor's today and got a prescription for muscle relaxers, and they've helped some, but it still hurts quite a bit, so this is going to be a short one. I'll get you details on the last couple of days when I'm feeling better.
Before I sign off, though, I have to tell you that J has been really good to me today. He's taken care of the dogs, he's brought me meals, shoot he cooked macaroni and cheese (homemade, not boxed) for me for dinner. And - the biggest sign of his concern and caring and general good nature - he scooped the cat litter this morning! He is a prince among men, and I have no idea how I would have gotten through today without him
And now I'm going to go crawl back into bed with my heating pad. I'll be back tomorrow.
Less noise, more me

I had a similar problem last week. Apply a heating pad, and (this will sound stupider than stupid) try using a flatter pillow. I did that for a week, and that + naproxen + heating pad helped loosen the muscles.
I hope this finds you feeling better. J is a prince among men for cleaning the litter!
We have some fab cream over here called Nurofen that helps relieve back pain. It's fantastic. If you have something like that over there it might be worth a try.
That sucks that you have to spend your last few days of vacation layed up like that.
Feel better and I'm glad J is there for you..He seems like a real good egg.
Did he tell you I asked him what er did to you?...heheheehe
oh and I got some shows for you to borrow what I'm done with them...I bought Bones and Supernatural since no one got them for me for x-mas..LOL
Thanks everyone for the great comments. Laughing Muse - I did the flatter pillow thing, and it helped a lot. And the heating pad has been in almost constant use since Wednesday.
Clare - I've been using something we have over here called Icy Hot, and it's helping, too, at least on the sore arm muscles.
Cathy - he really is a prince among men! :)
And Keeper - I'm glad you bought your shows! Sorry you didn't get them for Christmas. And I love your new dragon head! And yes, he told me that you asked what he did to me! Get your mind out of the gutter, Mister! :)
