I do have a collar you have mentioned, tried it for days, got a skin rush, so opted to lay down instead, lining with a small towel makes it too tight and suffocating…

I know what you mean, I got an annoying rash within a few days of wearing the collar but the eventual benefits FAR outweighed any teething problems. You need to get some ‘Coolmax’ liners for the Philadelphia collar (you’ll need a couple of pairs, as you have to wash them and the collar every single day, in order to keep your skin in good condition). You’ll see it will be worth it in the end, the progression will slow down and hopefully halt before you start regaining what you’ve lost.

It all takes time my friend but the body is an amazing piece of engineering, perpetually repairing itself – to the best of it’s ability, so if you give it appropriate nutrition and the physical support of the collar it’s got a much better chance.

I wish you all the best.
