pain in the neck

seriously, tonight it's as bad as it's ever been, like majorly annoying and interfering with sleep for maybe the second time i can remember and combined with the screeching ear i find myself stumbling out of bed where i was actually going to sleep before midnight and sitting here trying to find a comfortable position for my head what with the left side of my neck right up to my left ear (and a little around my left eye and left temple) feeling really uncomfortable with occasional hurtful pain and constant screeching and discomfort... could it be the high salt contents of the three cans of soup i had for dinner, i mean, two were chicken soup, or the blood pressure or the too many hours day after day at the desk job or the lack of daily exercise or something else or a combination or...

and how are you? :}
