Hello Philster371 and welcome to NeuroTalk
I already like your wife
I have never heard of L'Hermittes being caused by poor posture/inadequate neck suppport...interesting.
I have L'Hermittes and have had it as a constant companion for 25 years. Mine is MS related. Although there can be other causes for L'Hermittes, when it is related to MS it is caused by Lesions on the cervical spine...I have numerous c-spine lesions.
When bending my head down I get vibrations/buzzing from mid-spine down, this can last seconds but I can repeat it everytime I bend my head.
If you are concerned about MS please feel free to ask questions and we will do our best to answer them.
