Thanks @Warrick for clarifying the situation with UK doctors, I didn’t know that about Mr Timothy nor the update on Mr Higgins… Mr Axon is treating patients with IJV compressions privately though & prepared to do a C1 shave also if anyone reads this & can afford it! If you’re going to see a physio, @byebyetwenties , here’s a link to a research paper written by one of our members for physios: [WESTBROOK et al.

If one heel is slightly shorter than other they can see that & tell you.

I am not super convinced by DMX, I haven’t had one myself we don’t have any in the UK or Europe. As far as I am aware the fee neurosurgeons in this field use the upright MRI measurements not DMX.’ I hope that this is helpful…regarding ADHD, it is taking forever to get children diagnosed, but there does seem to be more awareness and help now, I support families with children who have autism & ADHD, and things are improving a little, albeit slowly, & it does seem to vary from region to region! --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/new-user-and-unsure-of-how-to-proceed/18360)._
