Hello Rachel, I have seen this video and thought about it.. I believe "some" but not all , of my pain could be an overloaded nerve system. I feel overwhelmed often. Something is going on with my neck however. It hurts to lay down. I could be 80% pain free while sitting up.. it's when something touches or put pressure on my face or head. But taking better care of myself could very well assist in helping me. I've started doing breathing exercises. ( I watched Wim Hof) at this point, I would drink cat urine if you told me it would fix things. I will keep this on the table for things to consider. Thank you for taking the time to respond and provide this video... I had watched about 4 months ago and forgot about it.

Hey Lisa, @lisa2022. How are you doing?

@lisa2022 I understand feeling overwhelmed. Please remember your self-care during this time and positive distraction. Calming through diaphragmatic breathing (which you're doing ) with mindfulness and meditation can help settle your stress, anxiety and allow yourself intermittent peace. You deserve that! I found that scheduling moments of calmness helped me begin a routine versus just applying when needed.
I feel you on the drinking cat urine thing (as gross as that sounds). Desperate times call for desperate measures. Lol!
Stay the course on holding doctors accountable to trouble shoot what you feel is wrong with your neck. @jenniferhunter has given you great information in that area. It's your body and important to be an active participant in your health care. Good luck!
