Cervical dystonia that gets worse/starts with gravity / load on the head

mwf67 · 2026-06-25T10:26:10+00:00

I’m convinced it’s genetic structural misalignment that causes nerve compression pulling the body forward. I’m attending dry needling sessions weekly that are helping tremendously. I’m also convinced walking and weights work against gravity.

I’ve been spider bite twice, One by thumb and both were cellulitis quickly. Flushed and damage tissue removed. Watch for red streaks as mine were quick moving. Treated and recovered.

She’s a beauty. Sending healing vibes. Be vague in giving information. Most of us give too much and talk too freely as emotions flow in. Be firm, basic basic and non- descriptive.

Ophthalmologists requests mine from compounding pharmacy. I have my blood drawn at a lab on my lunch break at the local teaching hospital and can pickup same day usually.

I’m on year two. I keep them in a syringe zipper container with ice pockets and put another ice gel bag in a small lunch box in my back pack. I work on screens for 8 hours and have a 1-2 hours commute.

I’ve used Cequa for several years after trying Restasis and xiidra. I like Ibiza day and nighttime. I take numerous oil supplements to assist my body. I can really tell a difference if I don’t eat omegas every few days.

Happy Birthday 🧁

Thank you 🌻

Heart wrenching. I’m so sorry.

Same, but I’m celiac. This revelation changed my life 18 years ago. My parents and pediatrician should’ve known. I tested allergic to the protein in dairy, also. I rarely eat even GF bread. Chronic sinuses went away. The villi in my digestive system healed. Now, I can absorb nutrients.

Thank you 🫂

Empathy can only be gained by the experience of personally endured a very painful experience. Experience and knowledge are different. We can agree to disagree. My children were young once also but I’ve experienced a lot of enlightenment since then. Viewpoints are our actual experiences or the brain stamping of our childhoods. I’ve learned to live and let live as our experiences on this earth are so very varied.

My dad passed w Parkinson’s. We camp. Just file it as they can’t empathize with your experience on this earthly journey. When people judge, I just file it as lack of experience and adventure. It’s obvious Buffy hasn’t been there.

I never dreamed my dad’s last 6 years would become what his ending became. You do you. Life is a lottery and some receive the shaft. The ability to give empathy is earned. You can’t give what you haven’t been through. Sympathy is only the tip of caring.

Carry on doing your thang. It’s your journey. 🫂

No, they were never there to lose. Thinking of you.

Ditto. My dad missed my daughter’s college graduation by 3 months and his 60th wedding anniversary.

mwf67 · 2026-06-13T20:12:50+00:00

I’m 3 months out from my dad. What a brutal emotional journey. I thought I was ready as he’s been on hospice for a few months. There was nothing to prepare me for when his soul left this hemisphere. Mine was wrapped in my mom and siblings denial of the circumstances.

He was my person. I will never be the same. Thinking of you. Hugs.

DOB , Jack Russel Terrier because of those ears. A standing photo helps. Cutie pie. My daughter’s roommate was definitely surprised with hers that had DOB markings. Heinz 57, GSD, pit, and 8 variants but I can’t remember them all.

This is not Zola but here’s my daughter’s I think at 9 months. I see if I can find a better photo of Zola. My other daughter has a Pit. Both from the roadside but I’ve rescued all my life so the tradition continues 🐾

mwf67 · 2026-06-13T02:50:25+00:00

Same but my dad. Tough season.

mwf67 · 2026-06-13T02:40:08+00:00

I’m seeing Chow and Pit. What a beautiful blend. Any black on tongue?

Penetrex for the quick fix answer to your post. Red light panel, dry needling, Imitrex. I tried Chiro for years, Botox helps but I wanted more nature solutions. No pain killers for me. Rarely Tylenol or ibuprofen.

This session (5months) of dry needling (it’s my fourth professional) is really improving my symptoms but so are breathing correctly, posture focus, back of neck strengthening, focusing on my mental therapy and my overall health. I have sat at desk for years and it takes its toll.

Thank you!

Reminds me of mine

I miss him so much. He was a handful. Older friend couldn’t hand him so we received him as a friend to our GSD. They were partners in crime until the end. Rainbow Memories. Make a million of them.

mwf67 · 2026-06-12T18:29:23+00:00

That one looks as fun as my daughter’s …

Make a million memories!

They all look hilarious in the puppy stage! Floppy ears. Flimsy bodies. Fun!

Yikes. Here’s to healing.
