You'll more than likely love the massage and how relaxed you'll feel afterwards. They'll find sore muscles that you had no idea were sore - but having the kinks worked out will make you feel tons better. Be sure to drink a lot of water after the massage to help flush out the impurities they release from the muscles.
I do leave my undies on.

Well, the former welfare recipient has her millions now & feels
regardless if it adversely affects children. She knows full well that her books are read by children. Since she has opted to make such a poor decision, I am opting to make a good decision and no longer purchase her books, watch her movies, or buy any products related to her books as she gets a cut on everything. It's one thing to have a personal opinion about homosexuality, but she didn't have to publicly link it to a character in her books.

Have you had your sugar checked?

Not everyone responds to emails, so you shouldn't get too distressed yet. Give it more time girl... like someone said especially around the holidays, even if you did priority mail. If it's just regular old snail mail then it could take a lot longer. The thing about how it is frustrating he hasn't responded, of COURSE it is!!! and it's rude. and I would leave that as a warning to others in the feedback, just that there was no response. Maybe he just knows he sent it and is not worried about it and is "too busy"... you never know.
Oh Eunice. That's really a shame. But I must say as a frequent
sufferer of insomnia myself, also mostly due to pain issues, I would be so eleated to get 5 to 6 hours of continuous sleep. I can't recall the last time that occurred. Why not follow your physician's recommendation regarding increasing the Pamelor, and if about 1 month you are still displeased with your sleep pattern, request a trial of another medication. There are plenty of them out there. Like I mentioned, trazodone is often prescribed as the initial line of therapy, most likely because it is non-addicting. If your PCP is prescribing the sleep aid, I would mention the problem also to your physician who is treating your fibromyalgia. He or she may be more up on what helps insomniac patients who have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. If you want to discuss this further, feel free to post a message asking for my email address, as I have alot of experience and knowledge regarding sleep aids and could give you the ins and out if you so desire. Take care.
To PAMT down below regarding frequent urination sm
I, too, have to pee alot, and I get so tired of it. I think i'm going to the doctor after the kids go back to school. Sometimes I "leak" a little. I'm only 36 and I don't want to have bladder problems! I do love drinking water, and i don't know if it could be from possibly drinking so much water. Sometimes i even feel a little pressure while doing "bedroom activities", and will even have to stop in the middle and go to the bathroom. I normally don't have pain, but the sensation of having to go and sometimes pressure. So no, you aren't alone.

Is she losing weight or having frequent
urination? I know from a friend of mine that these are some symptoms. Also, my friend had blurred vision to the point she was afraid to drive. She went to an ophthalmologist for whom she used to work. He suspected diabetes and checked her sugar. It was over 600 in the office. She has seen been an insulin dependent diabetic. She was losing weight rapidly. You are just being a good daughter. Keep an eye on things for her.
I frequent the faith board
and I just want to say I agree with you 100%. This woman was irresponsible and is a perfect example of what's wrong with this country. ME, ME, ME it's all about ME. No matter that her poor old parents can't even enjoy a retirement because they have once again been forced into parenthood, but now she wants other people to take from the mouths of truly needy children (and animals!) and give to her brood.
Unfortunately, in saying all this, it is true that the children are innocent and will need to be cared for. I have never had children, so I won't pretend to know how this should be done, but obviously this woman has some psychological issues that need to be dealt with.
And kudos to you for starting an animal rescue! I would love to do that one day, but for now I just give strays a home until I can find them a forever home!
Anyone ever have very frequent urination but no other symptoms. What a pain this is. nm

Massage...
My DH got me a gift certificate for Hanukkah for a one hour massage package. I've never had one and I'm kind of nervous about it. What do you do? Do you keep anything on like your undies or are you all out there under the towel?
The appointment is for Friday morning. Also with the message I'm getting a one hour facial and a parafin hand treatment.
Any pointers you guys may have would be very helpful.

Pugmom..the ED checks records and will know that you are not a frequent flyer....sm
And believe me, there are some that are there like every other day.
Something else you might want to do too( I have typed urology both adult and peds for 19 years now and have lots of hints LOL) is to walk as much as possible, drink LOTS of water, and perhaps cranberry juice. The walking is supposed to help the stone get moving, the liquids are to help flush it out once it starts moving. The cranberry juice should help with the start of an infection.
Some people though, never pass their stone(s) and have not one iota of pain and suffering once the initial diagnosis is made.
I am so glad to hear that you are doing better. Myself and others were worried for you. Glad you are back.

I would love to travel to different spas and resorts and try out different types of massages. You know, strictly for the purpose of helping people know which ones are the best and the most relaxing... and of course be paid for doing it!!
:)
book a massage - I had one not that
long ago, and I felt like a new woman, but that only lasted for a couple days :(

It can do wonders. Tell them exactly what your complaints are. Best of luck! 
Massage therapy!

Questions re: Massage machines
Hi,
Looking to buy a massager for my feet mostly, but would like to use on other body parts as well--those MT hands and fingers and elbows and...on and on, and so a versatile massager would be great.
Was considering buying one of those little tripod jobs as a first time test, but they're $10 and it seemed foolish to drop that amount of money when I could get a serious one for 1-1/2 to 2x the price on eBay, etc.
I've been checking eBay, Amazon, Overstock, etc. In general, the customer reviews for Dr. Scholl's is a big, fat NO as regards a variety of that company's models, so I'm not interested and have taken them permanently off my search list.
--Otherwise, anyone have any suggestions on model/brand, etc.? I've seen on line several Pollenex and Sharper Image products that got good reviews and look like they're worth buying.
--Can anyone fill me in on the infrared massagers and what's so wonderful about them?
--Also, I have a sleep disorder; has anyone heard of a massager used near the head and/or neck causing neurologic interference or sleep problems due to the vibrations, electrical pulses?
(Once I saw an acupuncturist who used a machine with pads and electrodes that were applied to my head area--against my better judgement I allowed it. I should have told him noooo freakin' way, but foolishly didn't. My sleep was severely disturbed for several days despite my medication which is extremely effective.
Thanks a bunch.
Be careful of what type of massage too!
I got my husband a massage for a gift once...what a disaster! We knew nothing about them...I thought it would be relaxing. NOT! Apparently it was for something called a "deep tissue massage." What the heck did we know--a massage is a massage. We almost had to call the ambulance to get him off the table because the lady just totally messed up his back, even though on the "getting to know you sheet" I had specifically wrote down that he had degenerative disk disease. So here was this poor grown man, in tears, extreme pain, and completely embarassed that he couldn't move. The massage lady was freaking out saying she had never had anything like that happen to her. The total kicker was no money was ever refunded to us, and we never even got a call at home to check on him. I was just so preoccupied with getting him safely into our pickup truck with minimal embarassment to him and getting him home.
Thinking back, he says he wouldn't have minded the whole ordeal at all if there was a "happy ending" to his massage, but alas, this was a "legit" place

Looking for gift ideas for massage therapist and hairdresser -
I see the massage therapist every week (my treat to myself!) and the hairdresser about every 6 weeks for a cut. I really want them to know how important they are to my well-being, especially my massage therapist. You all have the best ideas. Thank you so much!
