Hi VHDude,

Since you feel you've had symptoms of gluten intolerance, have you tried a gluten-free diet?

The NT Gluten/Celiac forum is here: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum13.html

You can ask for copies of the radiologists' reports on your X-Rays and MRI. You then might better discern which practitioners are telling you a story closest to the truth.

You might look into magnesium for muscle relaxation.
Please see the "search" function here on NT. There are countless posts on magnesium.

hope this helps.

Make yourself at home on any forum here.

Hope to see you around the forums.

Warmly,
DejaVu
