The Mistress of Pain

Ever since I was 8, my health has never been quite right. It started innocently enough with a skin condition I have to this day. Luckily it is not too public but it has stayed with me no matter what weight I am (although doctors now tell me it will improve if I lose weight) but seems to alter slightly with diet but not go away...

Then I had rheumatism caused in part by the insistance of my school that we wear very short gym skirts. Although I am sure I will suffer with it when I am older, I rarely do now. I think it has something to do with warm and sensible clothing...

Then there was the glandular fever which hit at 14/15 and then again at 19 and then turned into chronic fatigue syndrome and has slowly lessened its hold as the years have gone by. By 23 I was able to return to education. I still to this day sleep a lot and would love 10 hours a night if I could get it...

I feel tired and drained a lot of the time and this does not help me lose weight. With my weight as it is I can see a long list of problems waiting for me by looking at my family and their combined issues. Diabetes, under-active thyroid, hypertension, even more skin issues, lympathic cancer...

One of the things I do to try and help speed up my ailing metabolism is this - i go to visit the Mistress of Pain.

She is a very expereienced masseuse who specialises in sports massage and lympathic massage. Every few weeks she attacks my lymp system and pushes those drains to help ease the toxin blockages in a very fast and effective detox. Every time I go there is more poison in my body... I wonder if like most people I will ever be able to not go.

Tomorrow I will be sore and thirsty but otherwise fine, possibly enervated. In a few weeks time I will crave another massage as I feel my body slow and grind to a halt...

So why the Mistress of Pain? Well this lady knows where to find every sensitive spot in the human bosy. She will dig elbows in and use all her considerable strength to the benefit of my body. There is just one little side effect....
