I'm a layperson

I have suffered with SPD all my life, but have only recently found out that there's a name for it, and that the Wilbarger Brushing Protocol is used to treat it. I'm 63 years old, and married. As you can imagine, my intense discomfort at being lightly touched is very disturbing to my spouse - and to me! If I knew that I could still be helped at my age, I would seek out treatment.
One point of interest: It took about 35 years of marriage for me to discover one important point: There is a TREMENDOUS difference in the way it feels when I'm touched lightly by fingertips as opposed to the flat part of the hand and fingers. The latter is bearable and sometimes even "nice". But, watch out for that trailing thumb!!
PLEASE let me know if you think I can still be helped.
