Yes, that’s what I mean. Sometimes you have to go through a couple of them to find the one that’s right for you. I certainly did. There are some that charge a shit load of money because they’re used to playing a game with the insurance company. I found an awesome guy who charges $60 a visit Not $250 a visit. He is the best. When I was your age acupuncture worked great for me. And the same goes that you must find the right acupuncturist. I had a great guy who I saw regularly for maintenance visits. I was having problems in my wrist and forearm and he had went on vacation And I saw his partner. She was absolutely amazing and I never went back to the guy. The point being you have to try different people, and you have to incorporate it into your way of being. I grew into a lot of repetitive motion disorders as I aged. I wasn’t given the body to do the work I undertook. My art form became very physical in my 30s 40s 50s. I wasn’t prepared for that but me being the pigheaded fool that I am that’s the work that I was passionate about as my body continued to deteriorate. I had to find an incorporate ways to sustain my work. Being pre-menopausal saw another downturn in my bodies ability to do the physical work that I undertook in my 20s by the time I got to my 40s. I never really believed in the fibromyalgia diagnosis and at times I could certainly overcome it. I just keep in my mind What I want to prioritize in my life and I find ways to overcome the crappy physical body that I was given, lol. Things that were important in my life to figure out was that the osteoarthritis was not causing me the inflammation I was incurring, it was the gout arthritis. And I didn’t find that out for 30 years. Also that insulin resistance played a dramatic part in my life in that When your body is not producing what it needs to pain occurs. Now that I am on metformin, my bodies, sending the insulin where it needs to go-– my muscles. All of this comes 30 years too late. In the meantime, I worked with nutrition yoga was great. Acupuncture was great acupressure was great a variety of supplements. I am L carnitine deficient, and I continued to test metabolic things to find out things about my body. I am in much better condition at 68 then I was at 35 all except for the degenerative disc disease it certainly a journey. You can embrace and incorporate it or you can alienate from it and be miserable. Everybody’s got something.
Oh and yes I tested positive for celiac disease like you did.
