I know my 2 down days are coming, but i'm on a roll. The better I get the better I see what remains to be done. I'm working on my 'personal psychology' if you will. Having had for over 12 years, a declining life, I'm on a rocket ride recovery. This latest NCR has improved me in physical ways which will allow the psychological healing that was kinda stunted.
** Constant anxiety - felt like it was physically generated. Always in the background has laid down to almost nothing. I can almost completely relax for the first time in over a decade.
** Physical pressure on my skull, areas of discomfort are now much quieter.
** Skull and neck are still hyper-mobile, but my skull feels more rounded in the rear and there's no doubt that the physical pain is improved.
** Cognitive function: Hard to explain how it feels to get your mind back, but that's how the 3rd day of 4 treatments left me feeling. Though there is still work to be done, it felt like i am back, all of a sudden. Like I've crossed a real threshhold into my former self. It's mostly the freedom to think freely instead of having to fend of pressure on every thought. How do you describe that.
*** Still have that - Wile E. Coyote 'anvil on the head' noise, like the stars spinning after the Anvil falls on his head :) , though the level is less than for much of my ordeal. Back of my skull still feels whacked, like it was hit with a 2x4, yet this too was worse before this latest NCR.
*** Still have hypermobility of cranial bones and neck, but I've learned to deal with this pretty well to keep things lined up.
It's been a month since the last series, i had a single treatment last week. Not sure what the single treatment did, but I have been recovering psychologically and congnitively so fast, the only question is how far can I go? I still have some work to do, but wow, it's getting to be fun.
I expect to be better than I was before because I now have what I learned.
This really rocks, y'all.

Wow Harvey, I read this and i have tears in my eyes, i understand every word that you have written. This really is a God send isn't it. I am interested in the psychological side of things that you have described, i have been thinking about this a lot recently. Like you say for you it has been over 12 years of hell, physical and mental and 8 years of hell for me too. Don't get me wrong the 10th of July cant come quick enough and i have every faith that my health will be improved by Dr Howell. I am wondering how i will feel emotionally, the psychological side of it. I am hopeful but a little apprehensive at the same time, as you can appreciate my mental well being is very fragile and has been affected in such a big way, i find it hard to explain. The depression and anxiety i suffer on a daily basis is horrible and sometimes i feel more trapped by that, than by the pain or maybe it is a vicious circle??
When you had your very first series had you been in contact with the Dr before you turned up to see him, like did he know all your details, what your problems were or did you discuss it all on the day you went for treatment? just wondering if i should contact Dr Howells sister re this question.
Thank you for your support recently, i have sort of come out of a very dark place suffering from very bad depression and anxiety and the pain !!. I have had 3 good days so am thankful for that.
I loved the fact that you finished your update with the words it is getting to be fun, that sounds great and would love to be saying those words in the next year or so.
Take care, God bless and Rock on !!

Lou I just noticed this mesage. I must tell you that my level of anxiety has decreased amazingly since my last NCR. I hoped it would, i knew it could - and have been very much rewarded so far. It still hits me, but before it was ambient, like the air around us, always there... now it's not like that any more.
