I do them more easily now, and monitor my seated posture more closely.

I've had quite a bit of Myofascial Triggerpoint Therapy; eventually the therapist taught us to do it at home, we bought the workbook, and now we use it whenever applicable.

Thanks for the link on UCS; I'll look into that further, though there's no question of my cervical spine being the main issue in my case. Osteoarthritis is known to cause Degenerative Disc Disease.

This was an interesting article I found that talks about a link between Fibro and Cervical Trauma. It's intriguing as they discuss the link between neurological central pain and the C5-6 area. They also go into talking about cortisol and other levels that chronic pain taxes.

They were able to take that pain away by microcurrent therapy. I am wondering if that was similiar to calamare. Talk of people on the forums about TCDS working well is hopefull, which I may infact give a try next week.

Retraining the brain or at least tell the brain to block or dull pain through electrical stiulation maybe the future on how pain doctors treat pain. I guess only time will tell.
