Symptom #8: Stiff Neck
Many of us have woken with a stiff neck in the morning. It is usually a result of having laid at an awkward angle, stretching or squeezing the muscles and tendons in the process. A stiff neck will usually last a day, although they can sometimes linger.
A stiff neck can also be a sign that you have a brain infection. The meninges are three layers of protective tissue that help protect the brain and the spinal cord. In cases of an infection, the meninges can become infected, and this can result in a stiff neck, along with some other symptoms.
