    Is this normal?

    Are these symptoms normal? I am really tired most of the time, without doing anything. That is probably the worst of my complaints, the rest I can deal with. But my head feels unusually heavy and the back of my neck burns (like a massive sunburn that won't go away) and the burning spreads...
