Nothing.. it was just a free advice for 10 mins. They aren't very good in giving DIY suggestions . I'll have to wait till early March to get an appointment with the manual therapist.
I should look into foam rolling. Have heard about it so often and still have no clue how it works and how I can make my own.

I also finally made that phone call to the endocrinologist and made an appointment there too.. late March (another 7 weeks!) They all have tremendous waiting lists.

I've got so many things pointing towards an auto-immune disease according to my friends over at Beyond Low Carb that they finally convinced me that I might have a thyroid problem too. The gut problem with all of the allergies, the B12 deficiency, the early greying of hair, excess hair loss, the brittle/soft nails, scaly skin (not anymore, but used to be), tendency to drop body temperature fast when dropping calories, the very low HR (32 is RR). Also the memory problems and the joint pain. Apparently the symptoms for auto-immune disorders are all very similar.

And the final straw that broke the camel's back: the tingling/numb fingers that would appear after low-carb days and disappear after a high carb day and then finally bother me all day long which has now been diagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome.

I will have to look into the foam rollers myself. I'm sure you're an expert?
