hello zookester...I have been diagnosed with hypersensitivity of the central nervous system, I am not happy with this diagnosis you can read my bio and tell me if you had an of my experiences...as for the POOL..i have taught aqua fitness for many years and now I totally depend on it to keep me moving...if the days the water is cooler I take a shower with the water as warm as I can stand that day and even use a heating pad on my legs that are affected the most...try this I find it soothing!

I really want to continue this therapy but, I also don't want to increase meds in order to combat the after affects. The first pool session was just on Wednesday and I hadn't really gotten pain under control before trying again today and now WHAM I am struggling to keep composure. This makes me so sad.. anyone else out there that has experienced this or found something that made it doable?
Thanks in advance,
Tessa
