Exactly! Thats what a lot of people miss, the whole lower trap/upper trap relationship is about balance, at least thats what I think. So the shrugs definitely wont help everybody!

This is why TOS is so frusterating. It has different ways of manifesting in different people, so my TOS is different from your TOS. I wish there was a magic surgery that solved everyones problems and it was universal for all of us.
