Does anyone else have occasional throbbing pain in the back of the head. It's almost like it's putting pressure on brain and my whole necks starts to hurt

The heat is a factor. Try not to be too hot. Stay in a cool room, but too cold. Use ice packs on your head. You can buy the blue gel kind at CVS or Walgreens and put them in the freezer.

Yes, I get those aweful pains and end up having to relax, meditate and take a couple of extra strength Tylenol. Sometimes it doesn't work and I end up taking percocet and a nap.
