Does anyone else get significantly worse symptoms around night time? For me, I feel way more tingling behind my face, neck cracking, and a foreign body poking feeling in my throat around bed time. It has been making sleep miserable

I have a constant feeling of brain fog and head pressure 24/7 which makes reading anything very difficult. My reading comprehension is terrible and I have to read things over and over again to understand it. I have this constant foreign body poking sensation in my head and behind my right eye and I get a lot of neck cracking. I seriously do not know what to do. I want to go to grad school and do a PHD but I’m feeling like that is no longer possible.

I’ve started PT again but don’t feel any better

I’m worried that my life dreams are over

“We present the case of a 51-year-old woman with a history of rheumatoid arthritis and chronic neck pain, migraines, vertigo, and autonomic dysfunction who underwent a series of regenerative injection treatments alongside postural and chiropractic therapy. Symptomatic and structural improvement was achieved, suggesting a possible role for regenerative therapies in the treatment of CCI”

I have symptoms of head pressure, pressure behind my eye, brain fog, feeling like something stuck in my throat, foreign body sensations in back of throat or behind face and eye. Some of these symptoms line up with eagle syndrome however I have been diagnosed with CCI.

Doctor centeno has some videos where he talks about how the trouble with the eagle syndrome diagnosis is that often times people have elongated styloids but are asymptomatic. Additionally he says that the styloidectomy could make CCI worse so he always reccomend treating the CCI first. However PICL is not covered by insurance is incredibly expensive and doesn’t have medical research to support it.

Has anyone had any experiences looking into eagle syndrome along with CCI and their treatment options?

I’m still trying conservative treatments for my CCI and I’m wondering if anyone has had some success with any good AO or NUCCA chiropractors in NJ?

I have version 1.61170.0 of Skyrim installed and when I boot up skse loader it asks me to purchase the anniversary upgrade. If I purchase this upgrade will it break my mods?

I’m a recently diagnosed 22 year old man with cranio cervical instability. I’ve never worked a real job before as I prioritized sports and school growing up. Now that I graduated with a degree in political science and minor in economics im looking to find something that makes me feel like a productive person. I’ve been incredibly depressed sitting around with my symptoms and spiraling and I want to do something. I don’t care about how much money I’m making at this point cause my parents sustain me, I just want a job that I can do that won’t be too difficult or overly stressful while I’m trying to manage and recover from CCI.

Does anybody have any recommendations for the type of work to look for when you’re facing constantly disruptive issues like brain fog and head pressure? I’m also extremely anxious about work in general and I have unmedicated ADHD. I’m afraid of making mistakes and being stupid but I can’t sit around forever.

I don’t know how to keep trying anymore. Everything feels impossible. I’m so tired of doctors, I’m so tired of doing anything, I don’t want to see my friends anymore and hear about all their new jobs and everything. I’m tried of pretending I’m okay. I’ve only been able to just distract myself with video games everyday and I stopped doing it today and all I did was cry instead. This condition has made me a complete shell of who I was and has exacerbated my depression.

I don’t look forward to anything cause I know my symptoms will always be there. I don’t have any hope in recovery anymore.

I’m on fallout 4 survival mode and I have a semi automatic rifleman build. So far I’ve been using the Kiloton radium rifle at medium range and overseers guardian at long range, however I also have both the problem solver and an instigating hand made rifle. I’m not sure if I should use one of the hand made rifles in my arsena. Also altho I have a decent amount of caps I find it annoying to have to buy 7.62 ammo

Which load out do you think is best here?

I’ve always had feelings of inadequacy but CCI has really emboldened this notion in my head. Because of the constant head pressure I feel, it can be difficult to concentrate and I get a subjective feeling of brain fogginess. I constantly worry about cognitive decline, I used to feel smart and I would spend time debating people about a variety of topics and learning. Now I worry that I have declined and that I have trouble processing information or remembering things.

If I watch a movie and don’t pick up on some detail that someone else does it causes me a great deal of distress, or if I forget anything at all or if I read a passage and think that I’m not able to recall what I read. I don’t know if it’s just a general adhd focus thing that I’m now hypervigilante about or if CCI is gradually making me stupid, but it has been causing me a tremendous amount of anxiety for over a year.

I have a good nurse friend and I want to share an article with her to get her thoughts on the condition and I’m wondering if anyone knows any good literature about it.

I’ve been playing fallout 4 survival mode and I’m really enjoying it, however the difficulty drops quite dramatically if you know what you’re doing past like level 20.

So I’ve been thinking of some restrictions that might keep the challenge up for longer while still allowing you to get a more powerful and progress. Here are some things that I’m thinking let me know if you think certain things would be too brutal or if I’m allowing some stuff that’s too OP.

Endurance has to be capped at 1

No power armor

No ballistic weave

No scrounger

No sneak perk (you have to rely on the covert ops magazines and the sneak bobble head for boosts)

No idiot savant

Main weapon damage perks (Rifleman, Commando, Gunslinger, Big Leagues, and Iron Fist) are unavailable until level 30. At level 30, you may invest one perk point into any one of these perks. At level 50, you may invest one additional perk point into any of these perks. No weapon damage perk may ever exceed Rank 2. This allows for limited specialization in the late game to help offset enemy health scaling while ensuring that most of your damage comes from weapon upgrades, critical hits, Bloody Mess, Ninja, and perks and magazines.

No rng legendary weapons. (No explosive shotgun and never ending fatman)

No lone wanderer

No strong back

No blitz rank 2

You can’t have a doctor or decontamination arches at your settlement.

No industrial water purifiers (the ones that produce like 40)

No refreshing beverage

Does anyone know where I can talk to people who have underwent the PICL procedure? I would really just like to hear about people’s experience with it and if they got better or not. I understand it will probably be a mixed bag but I’d still like to hear from people?

I officially got diagnosed with CCI today, I’m looking to try more PT or other more conservative treatment for a while before I decide to go for the PICL procedure. I’m still on the fence about it because of the cost and my symptoms are manageable even if very disorienting and frustrating.

I’m just curious if anyone knows any good places to look for CCI conscious PT or even chiropractic care.

I’m also in the North Jersey area

Been so depressed for two years. Managed to graduate college somehow despite the symptoms but now I don’t know what to do. Been privileged enough to not have to hold down a steady job so far but now that I’m graduated I feel so aimless. I’m left with nothing but these symptoms. I don’t think im able to actually learn new skills and I’m afraid to do anything because I feel like my CCI symptoms will make me fail at any job.

I’m not looking for medical advice I just want to know how to still believe in yourself and take risks when you feel terrible each day

I’m a 22 year old male who has been suffering from weird neurological and neck issues which seem to align with CCI however I seriously just don’t know what to think or believe. I don’t know whether or not going to Centeno is a good idea. Or if I should try to a nucca chiropractor. You hear conflicting things all the time and I just don’t know the path forward. I don’t even know what PT exercises to do.

My neck is consonantly cracking and I experience, brain fog, dizziness, mild neck spasms, and a poking and tingly feeling in back of my throat a lot. I don’t experience pain tho oddly but a lot of my other symptoms align with CCI and it makes me feel so lost.

I just don’t know how to move forward or what direction to go on for treatment and I feel like my life is being robbed away from me.
