I believe that when all of the people who have PN, for whatever reason that they have PN, well, when they can do something that gives them so much pleasure, so much fun, etc. well, what happens when we get pleasure, our endorphins kick in. These endorphins over-ride any other sensations that we have, and we have a very well received brain moment. And that's why we have those pain free moments. Now if we could bottle these endorphin producing stuff (and not just with pain meds), but if we could find a way to release the tension filled stuff that is filling our brains with stress, and we could channel all this into endorphin producing stuff,

well, somebody could make a million dollars!!!!

I know that I do not like to sit in a massage chair and have the rollers go up and down my spine. I have scoliosis. So I DO NOT SIT IN MASSAGE CHAIRS.

Now Alan, on the other hand, he can sit in a massage chair, and if it's one of those $7000 chairs like the ones that they sell at Brookstone, well, he could sit in that thing 24 hours a day and it's like he's in the Arabian Nights. Happy as a clam. He has No pain, anywhere in his body.

They sell one of these chairs right around the corner from my house. We had never been in there, so I took Alan and she graciously let Alan use it for 10 minutes. Let me tell you, if I won the Lottery tomorrow, this chair would be in my house tomorrow night.

The whole chair has some pillow like stuff going on. It envelops you. You put your feet in the lower part and the rollers go up and down your calves, and the pillow like stuff entraps your legs (I hate this), he goes nuts in happy land over this.

He laid back in the chair and all of a sudden, the sides of the chair start to swell, and knead his shoulders, his neck, his back, (as the rollers are going up and down his spine). You would have thought Alan just won the World Series, the look on his face was priceless.

And when the two pillow like contraptions blew up and almost swallowed his face, well, you should have seen my face. It was like something out of Star Trek. This chair looked like it swallowed Alan. He could have stayed swallowed all day long.

I don't know who invented this massage chair but they must have made millions from the rich people who can afford these things. And you can program the thumping action up your back, up your legs vibrates also, if that's your thing. (believe me, it's not my thing).

He said it almost equaled Dr. Theirl's G5 machine. And that is some comparison.

Now they also sell things for your lower legs. I stopped by one day and said to myself. "lets see what happens". She put my lower legs in his contraption, the sides started to squeeze my feet, I yelled "get me out of here". and I ran out. I do not like to be squeezed. Alan, on the other hand, (and I have no idea why), he loves this stuff, but it has to be a really really hard leg squeeze. Not so much the feet but he likes the leg squeezing part of it. And I can't stand any rollers up and down my spine. When I get a pedicure, I have to tell them "do not turn on the vibrating chair and the massage rollers" They look at me like I have lost my mind.

Oh, and I have mentioned this before, I sampled something that I loved while I was in Kings Plaza Mall one day.

It's some kind of water pressure system, that you lay down and put your face down and you are in some kind of tunnel (with your face out of it). and they put headphones on you and all of a sudden, someone presses a switch and this waterfall of water starts beating down on you and goes up and down your legs and your back, up and down. And you can stop it and let it concentrate on one part of your body. It was the most amazing 7 minutes of my life. You can pay for 10 minutes, 20, whatever you wish. But the massage benefit is amazing. It's like taking a xanax, only you didn't take a pill. You just let the water massage you and your whole body relaxes.

You would think this guy has customers all day long but nooooooo. People are afraid to lie down in this contraption. I have heard them say. "I'll get wet". I even told one person "the water doesn't touch you, you are covered by a pad, you are inside this device, the water is not on you, it just beats down on you". They didn't believe me.

They have no idea what they are missing.

I bet you that Donald Trump has one of these machines in his house, along with one of those massage chairs and a personal masseuse. He never has to have stress. He has MONEY!!! lol
