Craniocervical instability (CCI)
I'm really starting to think there's something to this.
I mention this OP as you and I have similar symptoms. I'm in no way telling you what to do but I think you should consider the following in light of drastic measures.
I've started working on this area (cervical) with stretching my neck and back but most importantly using a foam cervical wedge to re-curve my neck. I can honestly say I've seen an improvement in both T and H with most improvement in T. I have slept for month straight without masking and during the day there are times where it's there, but in my world, existing at a 1 and only noticeable when I'm not concentrating on something.
Backing this up:
1. In the past, and still today as I awaken my T and H symptoms slowly "turn-on" within an hour of waking. It's like clockwork...a wispy, low-level wind-like tone to a high pitch tea kettle just I pass a business park near my house an hr. later.
2. Since beginning my routine my posture has changed drastically taking pressure off my neck. X-rays show a -3 degree pitch (forward) before rehab and now I'm at a +13. I think 30-something is optimal. I should know this.
3. I'm getting tingling sensations within the muscles near/on the sacrum. One day it was if someone was holding 9 v battery to the area. I hope this is a good thing. I know this area was underdeveloped due to abuse over the years...maybe it healing. I guess this aspect is TBD.
4. In concert, I've recently begun the following treatment
http://www.acacd.com/auriculotherapy.php . Many believe forms of this to be a bunch of B.S., however, what differentiates this from TCM is the use of a specific frequency in the signal. I won't go down the "rabbit hole," but aside from this discussion I believe frequency to be a major aspect of the human condition. I do think this has helped greatly, or should I say my improvement occurred at the same time of treating my brain stem opposed to using other protocols prior. I, as many others held doubts but figured it's worth a try. I won't focus on the T aspect but rather a point called the tranquilizer point/protocol as because of this, I know without question something is going on. Long story short, after treating the tranquilizer point I felt as if I had been drugged with a sedative...no question about it. I'm a hard guy to convince of this stuff, but after the aforementioned I'm now really hesitant in writing-off any sort of treatment. T
I hope this helps and good luck. Have you been watching the U of M study?
