It is good that you are sleeping. That heals in itself. I also want to encourage you on your weight loss effort. I sure had the same problem, no joke. Before all the neck issue, and joint issues I was 192 and I am 5'1" . Well that didn't fly at a long over due exam and I flunked every test he gave me. so......here I am 8 years later and normal. Can be done, and when you do, it is a freedom that I can't explain. I wish you all the best. I also like men opening doors for me and smiling. This never happened when I was really heavy. xxxginnie
