hi there,,
ive been on NSD for nearly 3 mos and in the same boat as you w/ you w/ no rom from neck to 'nanny'. ive experiences verrrry subtle relaxing of the muscles but still no rom. its been suggested to me to find a 'manual' physical therapist [pt] one who helps stretch your muscles for you using various techniques. i have fibromyalgia as well so sometimes i wonder if thats the culprit instead. keep stretching though!

imo there are some things in your diet that look questionable depending on where your from and how you prepare these things. you are familiar w/ the iodine but is it the colorless? i remember some folk had trouble w/ that.
the only things that look completely safe on your foods...
fish
chicken
steak
eggs
lettuce
broccoli [raw or short cooked]
onions [raw]

and are the meats packaged in a 'broth' or ingredients other than water?

i cannot eat onions cuz its an 'inulin' containing veg. i cant have ANY amount of vinegar. its worse than eating starch for me.

others w/ more experience and knowledge than me im sure will chime in. good luck :]
