Hi there .... I am 54 with 7 grandies and i totally hear you. I had a spur grow from C6 into my spinal cord and they had to remove it. Bone on Bone in so many places, total hip replacement and a cage in my neck. The only thing i find helps is Palexia Slow release morning and night... and i have fast release on stand by for those days we over do it or travelling etc. Fibromyalgia study shows Neck Trauma can cause your total nervous system to overload... think of it like this if someone else is cold I am freezing.... If someone else is tired I am completley exhausted..... every sensory touch, light, sound, goes crazy. Neuro Autoimmune they say comes from when i had Shingles, i also have lupus so given they all cross over I just throw my hands up in the air and never over do my days and have had to learn to say NO more often ... Wishing you all the best and take care
