    I had the same problem.. Your sleep is probably shit. I'd just lock in on the sleep & use a massage gun.
    Add in daily hot baths & you are golden.

    (also when i stopped the coffees & adding salt to everything that stopped weird spasms in my shoulders/chest)

      Anyone ever delt with this or can drop some primal knowledge on me of how to ease it up? I figured that I should be spamming lube formula's. Does anyone know anything else I could do?

      @RuskinPrimal Yes bro I can tell you everything about it. Essentially it’s bc you are chest breathing which is a compensation strategy of the body for a weak diaphragm. Your ribcage should expand like a balloon 360 degrees but instead you just lift the whole thing up with your traps, SCM muscle and other muscles in the neck. There’s no quick fix bc everything is connected in the body. Scm pulls your head forward which breaks good tongue posture. Chest muscles are tight and weak core make put the diaphragm in a position which had so much resistance the body chose chest breathing and diaphragm weakened overtime. Thank sitting in chair all day and modern shoes mostly😛

        @Jay don't drink coffee and have barely had any salt. Hot bath did help yesterday though. My sleep has been poor the last couple nights

            @RuskinPrimal Yeah man ppl will call anything a detox or think everything is related to food but there are many harmful factors in this unnatural world.
            To keep it simple fix posture from head to toe and start doing some breathing exercises to access your diaphragm and strengthen it overtime. It lowers your cortisol as well 😄

                @Elliott87 Just because something's a detox, doesn't mean we can't give advice to mitigate the symptoms.

                I mean just typing "it's a detox bro" & being on your way is a cop out & an NPC answer on primal forums.

                    @Elliott87 It’s NOT a religious belief because I can FEEL when my body is aligned and breathing though my diaphragm then I can FEEL my neck and traps relax. I guess for @ruskinprimal it is a religious belief until he works on it and can also FEEL it. You’re gonna have to take my word for it but I have no reason to lie about this I only wanna help people with my experience in this.

                      @RuskinPrimal Well you can search on youtube for “diaphragm breathing exercises” to get an idea. Having your knees bent while laying on your back helps access the diaphragm easier. The goal is to build a mind muscle connection so that you can conciously choose to breathe through the diaphragm. Gather mental cues on those videos. If you can’t have your neck and lower back flat on the ground (probably not bc you have tension) laty towels under them so these muscles can relax. Push your lowerback into the ground on inhale and keep shoulders relaxed. I exhale into balloons as well to train exhalation muscles.
                      When you do this regularly you will notice your diaphragm gets stronger and you’re baseline breathing will be deeper more relaxed bc it shifts more to the diaphragm which is how you’re supposed to breathe and away from chest breathing which is naturally only for fight or flight moments. You will sleep more deeply. It is also equally important to align your posture bc it is literally impossible to access your diaphragm if your core is weak, anterior pelvic tilt, rounded shoulders, forward head, duck feet etc.
                      Golden mental cue for me is “lengthen esophagus” for inhale which works bc the diaphragm has one hole which is for the esophagus.

                      I get it’s all religious belief for you at the moment and probably not appealing to do allat but I experienced nice benefits so do with it what you want.

                        After reading some more on aajonus.net, I'm suspicious that this may actually be a bacterial meningitis detox

                              @RuskinPrimal I think that’s it’s pretty far fetched. Muscle issue so most likely muscle cause.

                                @Liverlover I have all the syptoms of it. My iridology also confirms I have a black spot of mercury built up in my right neck and traps. It's becoming less black as I'm gaining more mobility and I'm detoxing a lot of bullshit through my nose and mouth. I was a singer for 7 years growing up so I'm pretty comfortable breathing from my diaphragm, I really don't think it's that
