Gosh - I have always wanted to do this!! If I didn't live in the middle of nowhere then I probably would have got it done. Not sure that DH would want to go for a trip to the city just for this though!
I had a couple of sessions a few years back. After the first one I felt great - relaxed, refreshed etc and my skin looked fantastic (all the extra hyrdration plumped out my wrinkles ).
The 2nd session was not so good. I think she had the temp up just a bit too much. She said it was normal but I felt like I got burnt and half way through I asked her to stop cause I knew I was about to explode out my rear end which once I got to the loo I did! It was`nt a very pleasant experience that 2nd time and so I didnt go back again.
I cant remember the costs but it was pricey.
I dont think I lost any weight.
And no, it dont hurt, and you dont need to feel that awkward cause its their job, so they know what they have gotten themselves into.
I also saw the person who did mine in the street a month later. We were both with other people and I out of habit and politeness went to say hi, and she (rightly so) ignored me totally.
Hmm, perhaps I will go do it again sometime. Very expensive though. I`d rather spend the money on something else right now.
I actually had one when I was a child. I had a persistant pain in my side and all the doctors said that I was making it up. Mum took me to a naturopath who recommended an IC and the result was a golf ball size of worms got removed from a pocket in my bowel..end of pain.
