Title: La Caja del Muerte Post by georgej on Nov 19th, 2006, 8:10pm I believe I have discovered the Box of Death. I'm not in cycle right now--not a hint, not a shadow. Bopping along without a care. So today, I went to the home improvement store, where they were demo-ing something new (which I cannot or will not afford)--a portable sauna--only this one doesn't use heated air, but instead has a bunch of fixtures inside that blast you with infrared light from all directions. I like saunas, so I figured I'd see what this one was like. Okay--this thing looks like a cedar box that a Buick might come in if you stood it upright, or like a very posh outhouse would look if outhouses had glass doors. I climbed into this thing, sat down, and fired it up. Just to get a sense of it really, since I didn't care to be barbecued while fully clothed in a public place. All the heat rays start beaming away--and you know what? It felt pretty darn nice. I shifted a little bit to get the CH side of my head and neck under a light beam, because that area always needs a little more attention, anyway. I'm sure you know what I mean. All that radiant heat started soaking into the CH side and.....hmmm....yes....that's what I'm talkin' about....yes..... But then I started to feel a little--odd. My neck tightened up on the CH side, the sensation began to spread into my temple, and I started to get a very familiar and unwelcome feeling. I was starting to shadow. I got out of the infrared sauna as fast as I could, immediately bought a red bull from the checkout counter, and slammed it--felt better almost immediately. I truly don't think I'm going back into cycle. It doesn't "feel" like it. But what it tells me is that even though the CH may be in remission, it still exists on some subclinical level, and the wrong sort of thing brings it to the surface again. I'm pretty sure that an infrared sauna is the wrong sort of thing. I doubt I'll ever be persuaded to climb into one again. Best, George |

Title: Re: La Caja del Muerte Post by BB on Nov 20th, 2006, 2:46am Interesting George, wonder whether it is the heat or the infrared light that triggered you off? [smiley=huh.gif] Annette |

It is an interesting question, Annette, but I'd hate to draw any tentative conclusions from a single incident. I don't know about heat--it's never presented a problem when I'm out of cycle, and I do like to use regular saunas. I won't use them in cycle, though, because it's a problem then. I think what really struck me was the almost immediate reaction--I wasn't in there for longer than a couple of minutes. It was weird. Best, George |

Title: Re: La Caja del Muerte Post by Tata on Nov 21st, 2006, 7:20am Dear George- Just out of curiosity, are you anywhere near a cycle? Just coming out of one or nearing a "normal" time for one to start? Glad they had the Red Bull--it's no fun getting hit in public, especially unprepared. Take care. |

Hi Tata, I'm passing through what used to be the timeframe when my fall cycle would hit. I used to get hit twice a year, spring and fall, but the cycles are farther apart now, and I don't. This is the usual time, though. on 11/21/06 at 09:02:50, chewy wrote:
LMAO! Ding! By then, I may not be in any shape to ask for extra butter. Best, George |
