i wonder if the throbbing in my head when i get too hot, stand up too quickly, eat a big meal, go up stairs or raise my heart rate too far is due to some compression or problem in my neck....

Mark, what do you think? the closest NUCCA specialist will be an hour away...and i hate to get unnecessary xrays...

maybe tonight i'll try sleeping in my back...or maybe tomorrow night. i need to sleep tonight. i do stay off my stomach, but i suspect some of my shoulder/neck tension is due to side sleeping.

thanks for sharing your expertise

Those remaining are fatigue, brain freezes/overstimulation, headaches, sensitivity to light and sound. Insomnia is getting better but still an issue, and appetite is ba-ack! Depression and anxiety are largely under control thanks to Lexapro, exercise, and a very distant light at the end of the tunnel.

Drugs: Lexapro, occasional 2-5mgs ambien. Off amatryptaline. Taking about 453 supplements.

Just started vision therapy, waiting on some blue-tinted prism glasses.
