head massage for Heavy shadows
Mar 26^th, 2009 at 9:39pm

Hi guys,

i believe we as a community should share every detail about treatments that work for us even if you think they may sound silly or absurd or may have already been documented. Who would have thought that 'water' would have such amazing results. I am now into my 6th week of my cycle and my CH's are definitely reducing in severity (kip 3). I'm able get rid of heavy shadows within 10 mins by using a small head massaging gadget called a 'Passionator'. It's basically a wooden handle with 8 plastic prongs that slide over the head. I know you may think because i am near the end of my cycle that my CH's may be only lasting 10 mins anyway, but i can assure you that i have left a couple untreated and the little demons lasted a good 2 hours and as you know kip 3 is still very uncomfortable. Basically by using the passionater you are trying to create as much sensation, tingling and shivers around the head and neck area as possible.Then by using my hands i manually massage these sensations into my head and temple area. For best results let someone else use the passionater on you therefore creating more sensation and it may have better results for people with shorter hair. I have used this method at the start and the end of my cycles with great results. It has helped me save on my oxygen as i only get a small cd tank that doesn't last very long at 15 lpm.

Give it a lash you have nothing to loose...! Wink

Sometimes, though, I just bang it on the counter. and no, Linda, that doesn't mean I got laid last night........

Banging your head on the counter was my second tip for anything over a kip 4.......!

I'm a bit of a thumb jammer myself. Just looking at the photograph of you and B and see the way your elbow is positioned i would do the same on any hard object. i ended up getting Cubital tunnel syndrome, its something to do with a trapped nerve in your elbow. i got it from pressing so hard when i was trying to pull my left eyeball out of the socket just to give it a wee rest....!

I do the press massage at the base of the skull on the same side as the attack. Helps with the low level shadow hits. And I can't even look at a pic like that one of you two in the "CH Pose" without getting a twinge!!! Ouch! Joe
