Hello there,

To start off I am 18 years old, female, active and normally very healthy. Yesterday morning I woke up with a 'headache', I say headache because the pain was odd; it would be a circle on the top of my head, to the side of my head, to all over... but unlike a normal headache for me. I continued on with my day and constantly forgot to take the Tylenol I kept telling myself to take. I still went for my nightly run and the 'headache' was on and off.

This morning I woke up and the pain was slightly worse. It was on and off this evening, until I was watching TV and it came back. This time with pain behind my ears on top of the 'headache'. Once again I strugged it off, had my shower and at around midnight the pain had spread. On top of my 'headache' and pain behind the ears, my neck is very sore and my upper back. When I try to tuch my chin to my chest, it tightens and hurts. I tried lying down, but kept feeling uncomfortable and unable to sleep. I watched TV for another hour and walked into my bedroom. Now on top of all the symptoms I listed above, my lower back hurts as well. When I pushed my arms back and moved my shoulder blades together, I felt nauseous. I am now lying in bed, with a on-and-off (it feels like) fever and a consistent nauseous feeling. I finally took two Tylenol's because the pain is very uncomfortable.

I am completely baffled by the pain I am experiencing and I need advice! Has anyone had similar symptons? Do you suggest I see a doctor? Anything would help. I figure I'll be able to tell by tomorrow night if it's serious.

FYI: I do surf the net/play on my computer quite a bit.

Thank you in advance!
