Re: Tatoo Suggestion - Tanja

Hi, I would also like to have a say... Before I was diagnosed, I got

a piercing in naval, when I was 15, it wouldn't heal, so I took it

out 2 months later. When I was 19 I tried again, didn't work. And

again at 21, this time it healed but the scar is very big and ugly,

the 2 first scars are big too but they are white, so they are not so

bad as the third one.

First - welcome aboard from me as well.

Second - are you having any problems with the scars? Lymphatic

Drainage Therapy and Myofascial Release work both have some good

scar release techniques that can help with painful scars and even

improve their appearance.

Third - since you are new to the list, I am a Licensed Massage

Practitioner in Seattle (and Barb ' father). My focus is

primarily on the energetic modalities, such as Jin Shin Do

Acupressue and Polarity Therapy, but I have had a fair amount of

training in other things as well, including Lymphatic Drainage,

Cranialsacral and Myofascial Release. Barb, her husband Kerry, and

I all have HEDS and my interest in massage, bodywork and alternative

therapies has been directed toward identifying things that can help

alleviate some of the symptoms, etc of EDS. Feel free at any time to

hit me with questions via open post or off-list email.
