steel,
What does that mean.
UPDATE: Just got back from the massage... 90 minutes long and it went well.
I got up to pee after the first 30 minutes and almost fell down I was so dizzy lol
I can FEEL my blood flowing better.
She said she has never come across somebody with so much lymphatic drainage.
I said, "you've never had a Lyme patient." : )
I can tell that doing this once a week will help tremendously with detox. I'll update how I feel later. I'm expecting to feel pretty crappy by this evening.

steelbone,
I don't believe in any electromagnetic fields being good for the lymph system.
The lyymphatic system is hampered when cross with electro-magnetic fields.
Even my therapist turned off her plug in blanket I was lying on as she performed the massage.

I just got a referral to a local clinic specializing in Lymp. Drainage. My referral said it was for chronic fatigue syndrome and weak positive Lyme bands.
I hope it will be enough for me to qualify. Here's the Edema Treatment Center's qualifiers for this treatment. I think LYME qualifies because of our problems with detox, circulatory dsyfunction, and chronic inflammation stuff.
Conditions we treat We treat swelling resulting from:
* Scar adhesions/soft tissue restrictions in the treated areas * Decreased range of motion * Posture changes Nerve irritation: pain, numbness and tingling * Decreased ability to perform activities of daily living * Pain * Cording or Axillary Web Syndrome (development of ropey tissue that feels web-like and restricts movement.)
Treatments we offer Edema therapists are physical and occupational therapists with advanced training in edema treatment. Services they provide include:
* Manual lymphatic drainage - a massage-like treatment that helps remove lymph fluid * Education regarding lymphedema prevention and management * Soft tissue mobilization/scar management * Range of motion, posture and strengthening exercises * Nerve gliding exercises to help reduce nerve restrictions * Pain management * Exercises to help the lymph system drain fluid * Recommendations for medical compression garments if necessary
Most health insurance plans provide coverage for edema treatment with a physician's prescription. Check with your insurance provider regarding coverage.

yes on the mini trampoline. Gets things moving.
Also chi machine will help with lymph flow along with dry brushing.

I have been doing the mini trampoline thing too. It seems to help.
I don't actually jump, I just bounce, my heels are the only thing that leave the rebounder. I can only do it for 3 or 4 minutes at a time.

When I was looking for a certified lymph drainage therapist, I encountered warnings about using this therapy when you have infections. Our doctor had warned me to be sure the therapist was certified specifically for lymphatic drainage. I finally found one. She did a minimal treatment, at our request, to see how she handled it. Within hours, my daughter had a fever and respiratory symptoms emerge.
Has anyone else had anything iike this happen? We finally settled in integrative manual therapy, which is helping her a lot.

lymeout,
That typically happens after a lymph drainage.
A good lymph therapist is going to be putting A LOT of built up toxins into the blood stream.
You have to go home after and detox it the best you can.
I didn't get as sick as your daughter but I was having some flu-like symptoms.
made me VERY tired.

This might be a good time to pour the detox
products into the system. But I have not
experienced the professional lymph massage so I am just guessing
it would help.
