I've never heard of Reika but have gone to the Look Good, Feel Better class and had a good time. They give you lots of makeup hints, scarf ideas and skin care. You also get a bag full of makeup and creams. I recommend everyone attend a class.
So glad to hear your numbers,so enjoy your Reika treatment and give updates on it.

Thanks,

great to hear this. I hope your numbers go even lower. Enjoy your reika...val0 -
Reiki is a "hands on healing" technique where "universal energy" is channeled through the Reiki practitioner to the subject. The receiver of the healing energy just lies on a massage table and relaxes--I usually fall asleep. On several occasions, the Reiki practitioner's hands felt really hot for a while, then when her hands cooled down, the session was over.poopergirl14052 said:love good low low numbers

The Look Good, Feel Better class was not as helpful regarding head coverings as I hoped it would be--it was mostly a make up class. The most useful thing I learned was the how to draw on eyebrows. I still use eyebrow pencil even though the eyebrows are back to normal--I call them my "power eyebrows" now. Hahahahaha!

Thankyou for the info on Reiki. Sounds wonderful and I cant wait till tomorow to get the treatment. I have not lost my brows or lashes yet (knock on wood), but i would need training to draw them on. I know if you draw them on wrong you can look quit scary!

I went to the Look Good Feel Better class an I loved it. They give tips and as said above a bag of makeup with creams. It is very low key and you just play and have a good time. I was also able to get a free wig when I went. It looks great and made me feel better.0 -

Way to go Susan !! Great numbers !! I am due to have mine checked again this week before my tx. My wbcs have dropped to 3.1 and neutrophils down to 27. The onc said numbers needed to come up just a little before tx on thursday. I was wondering why I felt so tired and run down this past week. Any suggestions on how to make these numbers go up? This is the first time this has happened to me, but I knew it was a side effect of the chemo. I usually am geared up and ready to take on the next tx by now. I don't know about the massage you were talking about Susan, but I have something called Jin Shin Jyutsu. I had one last month after tx and it was WONDERFUL ! I have another one scheduled for thursday after tx. I haven't heard about the look good, feel good class either. Good luck with the next tx on thursday. I will be thinking and praying for you. Talk to you soon. Jackie0 -

Hi Jackie....I hope your numbers are awesome! I havent been affected by a drop in my Red or white counts yet. But I am really fatigued all of the time. My Reiki appt got cancelled. The technician scratched her cornia! I will be thinking of you on Thurday!
