Question
I injured my neck a few years ago and a MRI showed herniated disk. I have a
chiropractic pillow and exercise seems to help, but these other things started
up after,, Dropping things, memory issues, lack of focas concentration, being
in a fog, Eye twitching and Speech stumbling with words.. these symptons
occur at a random times.. but certainly know they there. Do you think these
are related to my neck?

Answer
The dropping things, absolutely, especially of the herniation is at the C4,5 or 6 level.  These levels control the hands.  As for the rest, well, you can't totally rule it out, so I will say these things COULD do it.  You should also look into doing some traction of the neck... it'll really help as much or more than the pillow will.
