Hello Gerry,
I am , firstly amazed and astonished to read your posts, such intense consideration of and attempts at understanding the seemingly complex array of neurophysiological details about your condition deserve great respect. I commend your efforts. Particularly when viewed from the perspective of a sufferer, rather than as ( I presume) someone with advanced clinical training.
I have stumbled across your posts between patients in my physiotherapy practice, and have so far only skimmed half. I look forward to continuing my enjoyment of your writing when able, I do have some relevant comments to make but will leave that for when I am able to make what I hope to be meaningful contributions to your efforts to understand your neck pain.
Cheers
