Yes tilting my head to look up really is not good for me. Balance goes and I generally feel sick so I try not to do that, no more curtain hanging for me LOL and I think that wall papering will soon become a thing of the past because when I have to look up it also causes co-ordination issues and I seem to soon lack concentration. I recently tried to take up swimming after not doing any for over 50 years. Started on breast stroke was a nightmare because I was lifting my head back against my neck to try to swim. Backstroke seemed ok but there is always the problem of knocking into people - Front crawl might also be a good option - if I use a good breathing technique and I can keep my head linear to my body so not causing much stress to my neck. I am finding swimming quite invigorating so I hope I can keep it up.It is not looking down for me, it's up or twisting or quick movement of my neck.
I was awful last Sunday very similar to having hypos, though it wasn't cos I couldn't eat, had no appetite. Felt really meh!
Still three weeks to see my physiotherapist.
Because of everything else, my early mornings are the worst, I have to take a quick walk to get my body going, the essential tremor doesn't make things any easier.
Sneezing, yawning and shivering are lethal!
I found a copy of the physio exercises that helped me. Neck_ROM_exercises_done_2019.pdf (uhd.nhs.uk)
