I am assuming you mean myofacial release therapist? I personally like that type of body work in certain parts of my body. It is hard to find and costly, but If I could I would get it for upper back and neck. Apparently some people cannot tollerate it and others it can make things worse. One person made it worse, but mostly it helped me.

Oh and yes I tested positive for celiac disease like you did.

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.
