Hi Kent,
My husband is very supportive, but he get's overwelmed at times. And like you, it's hard to think about other things or even look forward to the littlest things in life that give the slightest pleasure when your are always in pain or feel weak and unable.
My neck has really controlled my life for three years now. I have tried to focus on what I have overcome, but it gets hard at times. Lean on us here and we'll keep you company.
