So, today I finally went to get some laser hair removal on my legs, armpits and bikini line. It wasn’t quite so dreadfully painful as I’d feared (thank the heavens). Although, some odd reaction happened: I started shaking like mad. Especially my legs, I looked like a doll getting their strings pulled. I think I might have frightened the practitioner a bit, poor woman. She told me it wasn’t a common reaction at all. I hadn’t even had any caffeine, I’d only taken an aspirine for a headache but I doubt it would cause that reaction (it never did).
Could it have been a reaction to the continued pain? I’ve gotten laser treatment on my face before and I’ve underwent electrolysis and nothing similar happened. Aside from the uncontrolled shaking I felt fine, no headache, no dizziness, only annoyance and a bit stressed at the time because I just wanted it to stop.
I just wanted to know if this has happened to anyone before. I feel fine now so I don’t think it’s a reason to go running over to the doctor, just it was a curious side effect and not a very fun one at that. Let’s hope next time it will be better. Maybe I just need to control my breathing and go all zen.
