Greetings,

I'd like to hear from those who get massages regularly. I am getting a Neuromuscular/Deep Tissue massage today, which includes lymphatic drainage. I was wondering, will this make me herx badly? I have had massages that make me dizzy and such, but never this level of therapy. And I do know to drink plently of water.

tbohl,

I had the massage today and it was awesome! The original was postponed. The therapist knew about Lyme and it was great. She worked toxins out of my neck muscles and began to work on my shoulder/arm (which has been stiff and painful). I am very excited about working all this "stuff" out of my system.

I have been drinking lots of water and white tea. I got a little light headed and had a bit of a headache afterwards, but not too bad. When I got home I took at detox bath. It was so relaxing. I am not going to lie, it hurt a bit, but it hurt so good. I could tell she was not damaging anything, but working out the kinks and toxins.

Hope it goes well for you too. Don't be nervous. I am excited about the next appointment.

I've always wanted to try a lymphatic massage! I'll have to look more thoroughly for a place in my area.

I do self-lymphatic massages. Here is a link to learn how :)

Good luck with everything and please keep us posted!

Hi Blue! Nice to see a familiar name! How are you? I am currently having a major flare or relapse or whatever, after a looonnnng stretch of "relatively" good health.

I had my second massage yesterday. She did some of the stuff in the video that you posted. )That was interesting, btw) But the therapist is well trained and familiar with Lyme and the toxins in the muscles. She is working out all kinds of stuff in my neck, lower back and feet! she is breaking up the knots that have toxins in them. I am drinking plenty after the massage. especially white/green tea. This morning a lot of toxins left, if you know what I mean. I think between the massage, tea and the magnesium I am taking things are moving along. I feel like I am doing something other than antibiotics and detox baths to get this stuff out!! I am now a believer in deep tissue massage with lymphatic drainage.

I have to say that after my first rife treatment (from which I herxed like hell) I went to for a lymphatic massage the following morning - and the results were amazing. I felt sooo much better - I almost didn't have Lyme for the whole day!!! She hadn't done a massage on a Lyme paitient before but sharpish found where the problems were (for me neck, wrists and knees), it was 'uncomfortable' but certainly not painful.

The second rife treatment I had I couldn't get an appt for a massage afterwards and didn't shake the herx for days.

Third treatment, another massage, same great effect.

I spoke to my LLMD who's now trying to get someone to offer them at the clinic for those who go there for rife treatment.

I am off to see the video link you posted as unfortunately there's no one near me who does them. But maybe I can put my husband to good use after all.... ;)

Hope yours went well tbohl

I love the deep tissue massage. I felt great as well. The second one was 90 min and I felt a bit toxic a afterwards, but I felt like it was accomplishing what needed to happen. I drank a lot and the next morning I felt like I a lot of toxins left.
