Re: Re: Massaged myself- To

[Guest guest]

, what a horrible experience you had girl. That is awful. Do you think it

had something to do with the massage?

Yeah, I believe that the toxins do run through you after a massage.

Thanks sweetie.

love,

Debra, I had a deep tissue massage at 12:30 yesterday, on the way

home stopped at a bagel shop to get a sandwich. For whatever reason,

I did not eat anything before I left for the massage nor did I eat

after the stop at the bagel shop. But I did make another stop where

I got a bag of the jellie bellies -- had a craving for jelly beans

and that was the closest thing they had. Small bag, really was an

individual size. Then after being home for a bit, I made a small

peanut butter sandwich. Well, some time after eating that sandwich,

I was running to the bathroom about every 10 minutes (2nd time I

wasn't quite fast enough!) I finally shut the computer down and went

upstairs to lay down as I could get to bathroom more quickly. Also

checked everywhere I could thing to look for some med to stop it but

could only find stool softener. Called dh at work and asked that he

bring me some home. This started between 3 and 4 and I was still

going to the bath room as late as 10pm -- can't tell you how much I

took of the Immodium. Even called cousin who had had a colonoscopy

earlier in the week and said she could try my method, but I still

don't know what triggered it. seldom does any work around my

stomach/lower adomin and I did feel much better when I got home and

no bad effects to day, except that I am going back upstairs as I am

still feeling as if I could start going again!

But there have been times when I have had a massage and do feel worse

afterwords --- be sure you drink a lot of water to flush the toxins

out.

> Just wanted to share something. I have a thing I bought for 20

bucks that is called a Shiatsu vest massager. You put it on and it

has built in massage things in it. I also lay on it sometimes and

position for my lower back too. It says you can do that. Anyway, I

used it last night, then I took this other massager I have that is by

homedics and it is really a powerful massager. I put the handheld

massager up on my knot areas in my upper back. It gave me a deep

massage ... especially after I used the vest.

> This morning I was hurting beyond belief. I think it is true that

deep massage releases toxins. I guess I should drink a bunch of

water today. My whole body is feeling even worse kind of like the

toxins have been let loose.
