Hi Moira
Am sorry to hear that you have been struggling to sleep and are getting some pains in your ears, throat and neck.
Have you contacted your doctor for advice? It may be an idea to get some support and checked out just to see if these are expected side effects and whether there is anything that may help them settle.
It may also be an idea to post in the Head and Neck group as there maybe others who have gone through similar. I see you are already a member of that group.
If it would help to talk things through, please do give the Macmillan Support Line a call. They are there from 8am-8pm everyday.
I hope that things settle soon for you.
Jane
