So, flat neck (also called military neck) is a condition where the neck loses its normal curve and becomes straight. This can be caused by bad posture, stress, wrong sleeping positions, sitting in front of the computer with neck flexed, or an accident. Symptoms are muscle weakness, numbness, dizziness, headaches etc.

My wife has flat neck but it is hereditary. Because it is a natural condition for her it causes little discomfort unless looking up for an extended period of time.

Can it not be aided by a chiropractor?

 

The top of my neck was transposed an inch towards my right shoulder. Needed 6 months to fix...

 

Feel for you Oz

It can be, I guess. I’m fine, honestly. I need exercises and medicine. Waiting for MRI and next appointment.

I think I hit the sweet spot of 37,5 mg of Z and 5 mg of propranolol. Will up the dose on Z when necessary.

It's actually informative. He talks about the links between heart and GI symptoms which I have. I've always thought my symptoms were linked to the vagus nerve, as well.

The vagus nerve controls both the heart and the stomach. Can't effect ones activity without effecting the other.

FishingHat - I don't know what to believe to be honest.

IUN - I know, right?!?
Jokes aside, I feel better now. I hope I won't wake up with palpitations.

Update: After a ppi, Z, propranolol, acetylcysteine and "anti-flu" medicine, I think I can breathe properly.

Therefore I bid farewell to my kidneys and liver.

Update: Went up to 50 mg this morning (10 am), and I had mild nausea, brain fog, shakiness and nothing else. Now I have palpitations while standing. Otherwise, I'm better, interestingly.

Thanks, I will try to. Is it possible to see any withdrawal symptoms from C?

Yes, this website is full of people who have had or are having withdrawal symptoms.

I know, I went cold turkey and after 3-4 days of zaps, shakiness and muscle rigidity, I have nothing besides Z’s side effects. I meant to ask if I was off the hook. Sorry for being unclear.

Well, you have seen my ongoing post - that is what a steady-ish drop and then cold turkey from 10mg can do to someone after only 3 months on the damn C :)

I would say that if you can go 30 days without any withdrawal symptoms then you were safe. If it took the 50 mg of Zoloft to achieve that you were very lucky. That is a low dose.

I'm going through medical hell today. Every time I say that I can't take Zoloft, my psychiatrist retaliates. It is possible this is not good for me?
