This doesn't happen often, only if I've had it on most of the day at a high setting. I try to give it a rest for a few hours (out of a 24-hour period) for the sake of not wanting my body to get too used to the buzzing and then maybe grow some sort of tolerance to it.....(I've heard of this happening, but not sure if it happens to a lot of people or if this is mainly folklore...)
Still learnin as we go..... |
Yes Rae now that you say it, maybe its more a 'crawling' feeling it is....its just a bit 'unpleasant' . I had it on very high, (well as high as it would go for now) and it was becoming annoying I was shifting and turning the whole time to try to stop it........
Im now over my surgery 3 weeks and I do find that Ive gotten 'used' to the buzzing in my body. In the first week or so I though I would go mad!!!. Because one of the feelings that I have with my pain, is tingling, burning, throbbing, and when this was tingling/buzzing I though OH NO!!!! how am I going to survive. But then I checked out some of the settings etc and Ive now become more accustomed to it. In fact today, I was sitting out in the garden with my husband and the sun was shining(a rarity here in Ireland in Summer
) and my husband was asking how I was feeling. I said that I felt like I was in a jaccuzzi. Thats what the buzzing in my legs/back felt like SOOOOOOO relaxing!!!! .......good times ahead I feel
