I woke up today barely able to bend over due to sore muscles in my neck and shoulders/ lower back, and thus found it necessary to call around and find a massage appointment. This is NOT easy to do at the last minute on a Sunday, btw. However, I fell on the mercy of a nearby studio with a good rep, and they put me on their waitlist.

Lo and behold, their HEAD THERAPIST, who normally doesn't even work on Sundays, came in especially for my case. He was super funny and relaxed about the whole thing, and best of all, built like a linebacker and not afraid to use that strength to work on my knots. He makes his clients cry (in a good way!) he likes to joke. :lol: He also made suggestions for exercises to strengthen posture and recs for chiropractors in the area.

Needless to say, he got an awesome tip and a huge hug at the end of my session. Plus a recurring client for the studio. All I can say for those of who suffer from sore muscles is that if you can at all fit it into your budget, massage therapy/ chiropractor is so worth it.

I go regularly to both a massage therapist and a chiropractor. They've both really helped with the aches and pains in my neck, shoulder and lower back. The massage is also a wonderful relaxant. :)

I'm a big proponent of chiropractic and massage care, even acupuncture! and would love to go for regular treatments if I had the money to do so! Which I don't, so I ache.

Just started seeing a chiropractor yesterdy. My x-rays showed 42 pinched nerves! No wonder I hurt...

For more affordable options, check to see if there are massage schools in your area. Usually getting a massage at a school about the same price as a pedicure! May not be fancy like a spa, but have almost always had a good treatment.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
