So I had a sore neck to start with, then headaches and dizziness throughout (with smaller pupils).

Had some fever, still getting hot every now and then. Has continued for a couple of months. Mostly headaches and dizziness now.

3. I haven't really had any sudden jerks but I have felt a panic attack or two.
