Hi Dr D… does having it only on one side count? It is the left side for me, and sometimes that muscle (or muscles?) will absolutely lock up on me… and man is it painful!!

Hi Gail, Boy, that sounds painful. OK, I think this is worth a try for you, or I wouldn’t suggest it, OK? Can you get a soft cervical collar at your drug store and wear it for an evening while you sleep and let me know how you feel the next day? Not just how your neck feels, but how your overall symptoms are? Do you have POTS, BTW, Sweetie? Thanks so much! 🙂 Gentle hug, Diana

“Dr. Diana will always hold a very special place in my heart for her selfless devotion to helping everyone, not just the Ehlers-Danlos community. I hate to think what my life would be without her insight and guidance.”
