I've had a many massages over the years. Usually I feel sleepy afterwards and completely relaxed. On Friday I had a deep tissue and lymphatic massage. To preface, I have been battling a nasty sinus infection and I have never had lymphatic massage and did not request it. After my massage I felt fantastic, until about four hours later; that is when death set in.

Remember this moment from the movie Bridesmaids? This is how I felt! Horrid flu like symptoms set in. Headache, chills, body aches, and nausea set in. I had such a 'WTF is happening to me' moment. According to google, these symptoms are common after these types of massage, even for healthy people. WTF. This would have been valuable information for the massage therapist to give me prior to inducing death upon me.
I felt like a toxic waste dump for about 36 hours. Sunday morning I woke up feeling like myself. In fact, I felt even sparklier than ever.
Getting a massage while I had an active infection certainly wasn't my brightest moment. Has this ever happened to any of you?
