Thank you Cheryl! I wish I was closer but, sadly I'm not. I'll update later on my European thread when I hear back from Dr. Clavel, Dr. Zeegers and get some more tests done. I wish this wasn't taking so much time because I don't feel well at all. Just trying to stay calm and go with the flow. I can't get surgery until I know what is going on with my C6/C7 auto fusion and possibly my immune system. This has certainly been a puzzle. I have a lumbar issue too but, that is secondary to my neck problems at this point.
