...a massage done by a professional. I'm thinking of doing something nice for myself and I would like to take that route. Do anyone have any suggestions for a first-timer on what kind of massage I should ask for? Are some tougher than others? How long should I get the massage for?

And I'm thinking that it's more than just being sad. I think my heart is actually bruised in the real sense of the word. I doubt scientists ever studied this, so it could be true. What do you guys think?

about 4 inches to the elbow. you can stick me with a needle and i do not feel it. you can grab and squeeze it and it will put me in tears as its a horrible pain and bad burning that will last about 2 hrs. after you have squeezed it. i know your all going to say go to the doctor been there done that they dont seem to have a clue. they ruled out corpal tunnel and said maybe could be a pinch nerve. now i know there are test to find out for sure but those were just to expensive. just wondering if anyone has had any thing similar to this happen to them or someone they know. and no i cant pick up anything over about 3lbs with my right hand as i drop it . like the hand goes limp. no swelling no fever.. it is often cold as ice. the only way i can describe the feeling is like a limb asleep for a long time and you touch it but dont really feel real . any info you have i would appreicate. im working on my own studies trying to figure this out.. thanks in advance

could this happen if you were sexually abused as a child? no penitration. now as an adult you barley find out.no previous sexual partners for the infected person.though she is married and he is 100% faithful, also a virgin when they met and married. he has never had signs.

I have this thing where I seem to always be smiling when I'm giving someone bad news. Today I was telling a woman I work with about a group of Amish girls that was shot execution style. And I was smiling the whole time I was telling her this. I hate it. I can't tell someone about a loved one dying or even have a conversation with them about it because I feel like I'm making them feel uncomfortable. The woman told me not to feel about it because it's some kind of mental disorder but she didn't know the name of it. I've checked on the internet and I can't find anything. Does anyone have any idea if this really is a mental disorder and is there any way of taking care of it? I want to be able to have a normal conversation with someone. Sometimes it happens just from someone saying, "Hello" to me. I feel like an idiot when that happens. It's like I'm surprised that someone wants to talk to me or something.

I've been on Effexor for over 2yrs now. Over the past 2 months I have been tapering off it. While that has gone well non-depression wise, the side effects have not.

My main complaint is the 'electric shock/dizzy pusles' I get, which after quite a bit of net research I have found is rather common.I am now in my last week of going off and these shock things have only been getting worse. So much so that i just feel like rolling around on the floor and screaming for them to stop. I talked to the Dr. about it but it's kinda one of those 'wait it out' things apparently.

My question is, does anyone know of anything that can help this 'electric shock' reaction go away or lessen? While there seems to be alot of info on the fact that this can take place, I can't find much about how to make it go away.

Thanks alot. Have a good day.

ps. The only think I have heard is taking Omega 3 could help. Does anyone have experience with that?
