Saw my radiation oncologist and a neurologist. It's Lhermitte's Syndrome, a rare, temporary condition involving radiation damage to the nerve sheathing around the spinal column that extends into the neck. Really good study on it here:

BTW, davidcpa, I've reduced my running to about 15 miles a week. Ran a 5K on Thanksgiving and went too hard; was worn out for about three weeks. Got lectured by doc. Have to make some concessions to the beating I took.

Randy, Stage 3 tonsil SCC, node involvement, HPV-positive. 7 sessions of Taxol-Carboplatin, 35 rads finished 9/8/10. Post-TX PET and CT 12/1 showed "no metabolic evidence of residual or recurrent disease." Yay!
