So... while I was waiting for my RX's at wal-mar (the T is out still), they had set up one of those massage thingies in a computer chair. So... I sat down in it and it was like heaven for my aching back.
I sat in it for a good 45mins and then I gave it up for someone else to try, but no one else did.
I told hubby I wanted that for Christmas instead of the heated mattress pad, since he will not rub my back long enough to make it feel better or loosen up tense muscles.
It cost .88. It is called HoMedics Therapist Select Shiatsu Plus Massaging Cushion. I just wished it came with heat, but for more you can just looked it up online and they have it with heat!
It was freaking cool and felt sooo GOOD! I want one.
I know exactly which one you're talking about! I had to pick up some prescriptions at CVS today, and they had the same one on a chair next to the pharmacy counter. I wanted to try it sooooo bad, but I was certain I wouldn't be able to get back up once I sat down.
The doc started me on 40 mg. of Prednisone, 800 mg. Ibuprofen, 10/325 mg. of Percocet and 1500 mg. of Robaxin today. Took my first dose of everything around 3:00 pm, fell asleep for a couple of hours, woke up, and I can already feel the difference. I'm actually SITTING! With my back being out, I haven't been able to sit since Sunday! Awwwwww....relief!
I love those. Homedics is a company based right across the street from where I work.I am happy to hear you are getting relief finally, Gale. Here's to sitting up for many more hours to come, and being "pain-free".
Cool... Link! Now just sneak over there one night and debow a couple of them shiatsu massagers and send me one.
Hmmmmmmm I am trying to picture this. Hmmmmmmmmm well i am not getting this picture very well. Give the boat lady a few drinks and skip the cat suit.
I have one and it's heated. My little sister gave it to me last year for Christmas. She also bought me a neck massage/heat thingy. They are wonderful! I use it all the time. Love it, love it, love it.!
I Hope you get one for Christmas, Joonie.
CinDee...just so you know, you were dx'd on my birthday.When's your b-day Linncn? Mine is Sept. 19th, great b-day present, huh?Sept 5...yeah nice one [QUOTE=milly]So this massage deal you really liked it? I will have to check it out. Hope you feel better Brisen. I feel better i infused my self with a bag of popcorn. I never eat popcorn hate the seeds. I maybe eat once a day most the time but i had the total pred munchies. I always eat more if i have a cold or flu. I mean it has been years scince i ate popcorn but i wanted something salty. Hope you all feel better soon. My sinuses started flooding so i have been spoiling myself to cheer me up. Took a hot epson salt bath and ate popcorn and watched TV. My poor ears they are sending out sos signals they are drowning and need help!!!! So glad you are getting the things you need Joonie!!! I mean from the RD. I bet Santa will be really nice to you also!!! [/QUOTE]

ready dry. It just soaks into your muscles and makes you feel good. I
just put about 2 cups in ,run under hot water to desolve good. Some
people have an RA way and talk about fizzing. I do not know any of that
stuff. For me when i am all sweaty i think it keeps me smelling
fresher. It is great for soaking out splinters and infections also.
