Hey Judy,
Yes I did get relief almost as soon as I got my new mattress. Not that I haven't re aggravated the area because I have but it calmed down very quickly again and I think it's absolutely to do with my new mattress and the support it offers.

Since then however I had something happen in my left eye called a posterior vitreous detachment. It's a normal process but while detaching it's possible to detach the retina too so I have to be careful to not do anything strenuous until the process is done. I see a retinal specialist on Sept. 17th so I will be in Laguna until then.

Also I found out the reason I've been so exhausted and it's an odd one. I have a genetic trait where I cannot break down and utilize B Vitamin. So I have been getting B12 injections and on Sept. 18th I'll have more in depth studies to see what else I might have deficiencies or problems with ...

Had some other values upon further laboratory investigation that will be monitored as well every 3 months like hemoglobin A1C and thyroid. I do have some cardiac stuff that puts me at "low" risk for arteriosclerosis...

But hey my neck and upper back have been better and my low back has been great (knock on wood)!

What's going on with you and the 2 surgeons? Please update!

Hope your Mom and family are doing well and you too~
