A member asked:
Could my sore/stiff neck and waking up with peeling blue lips for a month with headache be meningitis ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not bacterial.: The fact that you have had this stiff neck for 1 month, makes bacterial meningitis unlikely. You likely have torticollis (stiff neck) from poor sleep mechanics. This can cause headache due to muscle spasms. Blue lips suggests circumoral cyanosis. You should see a medical provider ASAP. The combination of blue lips and headache could mean that you are not getting enough oxygen.
