hmmm, I have just been trying that test on myself and I can't get any reflex reaction out of my thumb on either hand - I'm worrying now, didn't think there was anything much wrong with my neck...
I am curious about the mouth numbness you mention in the first post, as far as i know the facial nerves go no where near the spine, is there something else going on ?
And best of luck with your problems, sounds like you are going through hell. - what age are you ?
