I'm a 54 year old woman who has worked at a computer fo 20 years. I have gone to the gym 4-5x week for nearly 30 years, lifted weights, done cardio. I have been a semi-vegetarian for 18 years (fish only). I'm 6'0 tall, 165#. 2 1/2 years ago, I tragically lost a son. 6 months ago I abrumptly started having neck pain, stiffness, inability to turn my head, numbness on the right side. I recently had an MRI that indicated severe cervical spondylosis. I'm really in shock about this and what I am going through. I do have an appointment in 2 weeks with doc to evaluate me.

I chanced upon this board this A.M. I would appreciate your input as to the relationship between grief, emotional stress and my condition. Did it cause it or exacerbate it? Is it reverseable in any way? Can any dietary changes help?

Thanks for your feedback.
