I am sorry you had such a hard time with your neck. You were right to go to the ER, as that IS a major symptom of an impending heart attack. The pinched nerve was bad enough. I was just brushing my hair one morning when the same happened to me. Excruciating pain and unable to use it. I was subsequently not able to use it for 4 months, carrying a useless arm around at shoulder height, and pain killers barely worked. I had been scheduled for surgery, but had to wait on the public system. This ended up being a good thing, as after 4 months, the pain went, and my mobility came back, just as quickly as it started. You have NO reason to feel embarrassed. Tell Curtis to get a grip, and stop laughing at you, you were right to do what you did, and that pain is no laughing matter, I KNOW! Men are shocking patients, but really he was so terribly insensitive. He wants to hope that one day you don’t die, while he is laughing at you, for being very scared of unusual pain, and dangerous symptoms. But of course we all know that a “cold” is far worse than anything, right?? (sarcasm intended lol)

Anyway, thanks for this lovely recipe. 😉
