The cervical collar noticeably helped me yesterday ( thanks mom :). With the relief i recieved from the chiropractor and using the cervical collar i was able to stay relieved. I am concious of my poster but didnt realize how often i tilt my head forward. When you lean your head forward your adding around 16lbs of pressure to your many neck muscles. I bathed in the much needed relief yesterday. It felt like i was in heaven. So relaxed, so clear minded. My thoughts and emotions are extremely different when im in "normal" mode. According to Dr McCarty, the dura which surrounds the brain is putting pressure on the brain, slowing spinal fluid to the brain and affectind the pituitary gland which in turn creates fear, pannic, slow thinking, and overall lack of clarity. Seems exactly what i deal with when the pain crancks up. It was relieving to hold the thought "its just my neck muscles". Ill write about why im not 100% convinced and the other possibilities in the near future. Anyway i went to blow my nose to see how it affected my neck and it shot pain and muscle tension to my neck. Most doctors are not recognizing the connection between the septum, sinuses and the neck. So today i am still doing decent but just a lil worse than yesterday. Tomorrow im going back to the chiropractor. When i went to chiro yesterday there were a couple weird things that happened. 1st he only charged me $50 for an ajustment and xray. Normally places charge around $250. Second i found out the receptionist is the sister of my cousins husband, lol. And lastly the chiropractor had my name written down for people to call to see if they needed an ajustment and out of the blue i show up before the call. Can we say "it was meant to be :)". Still regrouping so i can figure my next move.
