You have been a tremendous help! Thank you so much!
I put my iPad on top of 2 throw pillows so that it is at eye level. I am a retired special education teacher.
I have had neck issues from being pushed around by students to running for 40 years. Over the past 5 years I have been swimming using a snorkel so I never had to move my neck but I haven't been to the pool or barely our of my home except to go to drs. At first I wentvto dermatologist because my scalped burned. Then I saw about 6 more specialists ENT, Neurologist, Dentist, Oral surgeon, Orthopedics, etc. Finally I went to Mayo and they admitted me for 3 days for testing and came up with C1 C2 inflammation but that was in July. I may ask for updated testing. I really appreciate your insights. I have felt alone,and very depressed!

Can you please explain the scalp burning sensation? I obviously know what you are talking about from a subjective standpoint. Can you explain your symptoms? Those were some of my first.

Odd coincidence, but I was an early childhood special educator for 15 years - mostly itinerant but I had a classroom too.
I earned a terminal degree and then turned to college teaching. I’ve done that for 18 years and I’m retiring in May.
I started with orthopedics with a doc who insisted neck and head pain was related to my cervical spine.
I went to neurology to rule out a serious brain issue.
I went to pain management after all else was failing and I’m now trying anything I can.
Mayo did not accept me at Rochester or Jacksonville.
I understand your feeling of being alone. Pain can be so isolating.
