It was a billing nightmare. Well anyway.....
good luck

Just had my first massage today. It was very interesting. It felt like my therapist hands were on fire, not my skin. It was difficult to deal with at first but by the end of the hour I actually felt better. Burning returned a couple hours later, but I can see how desensitizing can work. I tan too and that was interesting a couple times as were mosquito bites. Bug bites burned for a long time even taking benadryl. Who would believe this? You can't make this stuff up! New to the issue so sorry if you have heard all this before.
