Thank you Getting Better it sounds like you've done a lot of work and have met some helpful pratitioners. That's such a big help if you can connect with someone that way, it not only helps but it gives hope, something we all need.

For The first 5 months or so I was very shaky inside , almost vibrating, and the only thing that seemed to calm me was soft music, no lyrics, and over the counter valerian, it just calmed everything down and I could function better.

Imfound,when my neck felt better the "beautiful lights" went away. Stress, fstigue and bright lights seem to set me off. Living a wuiter life is certsinly helpful but I was a type A do it all and more person amd that just isnt me anymore. i miss that but like the slower life too.

Warm wishes for your continued recovery...
