So my head hurts. I'm not one of those people that gets headaches. I prolly get one like every other month, and they don't last more than a minute usually. I think that's pretty good. But yesterday, and then again today I started to get these 2 painfull oval shaped protrusions on each side of the back of my head. It's like fluid is built up in there. They are hard but you can squish them just a little bit, but it hurts like hell. And it makes my neck sore b/c of the pressure. I don't know what this is. It happened once or twice this summer but only lasted a couple hours. This is weird. If I relax, it stops hurting. Maybe I only get it when my body gets stressed. Or maybe I have brain cancer or something. Isn't this called encephalitis (swelling of the brain)? Any doctors out there, your advice would be much appreciated. Wikipedia is freaking me out making me think it's meningitis, rabies, or west nile virus. I need to stop reading it.
