Barb,
i am soooo disappointed. i really thought i had something here. a universal something - gotta have it work for everyone in order for it to be a CAUSE of these blighters.
couplea things. it didn't work for me right away (nor did it work for the other dude back in december the first time). maybe it took some time for my neck to become "workable"?
after 2 or 3 days of rolling my head every hour or so (to keep it loose) i noticed it cracked/poped more readily.
i also think it's in the shoulder/clavicle, too. in fact, my initial successes weren't from rolling my neck, but from working my shoulder (CH side). this is gonna sound a bit silly ... but i put my (CH side) hand on my rump and rotated my shoulder (pushing on the my butt for leverage). the first amazing sensation was that my NOSE began to CLEAR. wierd connection? that's when i thought there was a nerve or muscle connection between this spine area and my CH. After doing the shoulder thing about 5 mins, my nose almost cleared. then the CH left.
all that said ... sometimes even now i can't dump the blasted HA doing this (and don't forget, i've caused myself CH doing this - makes me think there's a right and a wrong here doing the same essential thing). please don't give up on this - i really really believe this is a worthwhile experiment.
keep on, girl ...
