my neck used to be so hot you could melt ice on it, now it's just lukewarm and sometimes, feels even normal.
why the change in the temperature and what makes it feel so hot?

randibear I ponder this same question every day. Is
it cortisol related? Is it nerve related? Is it
lymph related? Is it all of the above. And no one
can tell me. And I don't think anyone is listening
or they could.

Randibear,
I have ALWAYS heard that is the very first sign of becoming a red neck.
And NO I am NOT Jeff Foxworthy.
If only this funny was ha,ha funny!!!
Maybe it makes a better bump for GOOD advice!!

Sounds like inflammation. Heat in tissue is often inflammation and the neck is a site that fosters inflammation for those of us with lyme.
Glad it's better. Herxing = inflammation so if you aren't herxing as much, the inflammation would eventually go down.
Edited to add: You would expect it to go down if it was caused by a herx in the first place.
I think the tissues get inflamed due to die off whether it is natural life cycle of borrelia or a herx but with a herx it can be much more severe.

it's the sides and the back, never the front.

Inflammation for sure. Beware randibear that rheumatoid is common in the upper neck just beneath the skull.
I know from past posts that you are high risk for R.A.
Treatment has helped my neck tremendously.
Just a reminder to all that R.A. is not a separate disease. It is a condition that can be caused by many things of which lyme disease is common.
