Omgooossshh! So, I didn't know how to feel about these tier labels in this community. But I was dead set against being any of the first 2.... Now I can relax a little with the majority of us Accidental Clickers!! Happy Clicking!!

Over the last four years my life has been pretty stressful, and honestly, I’m grateful I went down the carnivore path — I don’t think I’d even be thinking like this if I was still eating the way I used to. But here’s a weird one I’ve never been able to explain: Out of nowhere, I started having an involuntary “neck snap” reaction as I was falling asleep. It only happened when I laid on my right side. If I flipped to my left side, it would stop. Some nights it felt so aggressive it was genuinely unnerving — like my neck was trying to twist or snap on its own, and it could be painful. I brought it up to a doctor. No explanation. I brought it up to my chiropractor (who’s also a neurologist). No explanation. He gave me a few exercises to try, but nothing really changed. For years, bedtime became a nightly roulette: either my legs would light up, or my neck would act up. Not exactly relaxing. During all of this, I kept my diet very low-inflammatory — basically strict carnivore / animal-based. I’m not doing “lion diet” (just meat + salt), but I’ve been pretty strict. The only real exception is tiny amounts of maple syrup here and there. One thing I have changed over the last year is I’ve increased my collagen/gelatin intake a lot. I’ve been using beef gelatin regularly (sometimes making a higher-protein “treat” with cottage cheese, cream cheese, and a very small amount of maple syrup—just enough to take the edge off). Not daily, but consistently enough that it’s become a meaningful part of my routine. Now here’s the update that surprised me: Last night was the first night in about four years where my neck didn’t do the snapping thing at all. No flinching. No sudden jerks. No needing to force myself onto my left side. I still don’t know what caused it. My best guess has been posture and repetition: for almost a decade, I sat in a position where my right side faced the store window, and I was constantly turning my head to the right. Since I’ve been away from that pattern for the last seven months, things have slowly calmed down — and now, apparently, improved.
