BRNaughtyAngel -> Shiver Me Timbers? (6/21/2008 9:09:43 AM)
Last night, Master and I had a pretty intense play session with impact play that was harder than we normally engage in, and sexual play as well. When I got home a few hours later and got in bed, I felt very cold, deep down inside, like I had been sitting outside during the cold winter months. I started shivering a lot and had to cover up with blankets and even hugged on my heating pad for awhile. I'm sure there's a simple explanation for this, but my brain is in "oh my god my whole body hurts" mode right now, so I'm not thinking clearly. [;)] Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Sounds to me like a mild form of shock. I wouldn't be too stressed about it, just continue with the blankets and heating pads. ;) Warm baths help as well.

I can't offer you an explanation, but I can say this happens to me after I am pushed hard, physically. I've gone to bed with the heater on and wrapped up in a down comforter while hugging microwaved rice bags given to me by my accupuncturist (in lieu of heating pads). All this in the middle of summer. I think it's the body somewhat going into shock, I've shivered so much my teeth chattered. If chilled internally, drink some hot herbal tea - chamomile is good for relaxing, or even warm water with lemon. Sometimes no matter how much you warm yourself on the outside, you need to warm yourself from the inside first, in order to break the chill. I'm interested to see what others may say... Edited to correct "sunner" to say "summer" [8D]

Thanks ladies! I hadn't thought about it as being a form of shock. Makes sense!

doubleflash -> RE: Shiver Me Timbers? (6/21/2008 7:34:40 PM)
Lynnxz has probably nailed it -- mild shock. Lots of folks have a big cardiovascular reaction to intense physical/emotional stress. We see symptoms like the ones you describe a lot in the ambulance and the ER. Local protocols call it Acute Stress Reaction or just ACR. Some rigs even have a nifty heated compartment for blankets. Patients love the heated blankets and an explanation of what's going on. I imagine you had a lot more fun than the folks that ride stretchers in the ambulance, though. If you feel better in a few hours, you're golden. If the symptoms persist or get worse, you need to get checked out by a medical pro.

I would concur that what you have is shock. I experienced the same thing last year when I lost my footing while scrambling (cross between hiking a climbing without ropes) and tumbled about 100ft down a scree slope bruising most of my body in the process. I looked purple and blue for almost a week but am way too stubborn to go to a doctor for a few bruises.

You may want to take a peek on this thread that I posted awhile back.... http://www.collarchat.com/m_1751451/mpage_1/key_hypothermic/tm.htm#1751451

I've heard of Runner's High (a state of mind in which runners feel euphoric and have no pain or tiredness to slow them down) but I've never gotten it. I HAVE gotten Runner's Puke and Fall to Your Knees. (It's a less glorified syndrome). After intense demand on the body, there must be a regression to the mean. The cheetah sits and pants for 15 minutes after a sprint, My Pet does the same, though she is sprawled on the floor, and you feel cold and weak all over. The cost of being at +10 for 120 minutes is being at -2 for 600 minutes.

This post came at the perfect time for me. I had an intesne session today and found myself shivering for hours afterwards. It's good to know that it is normal and ok. Thanks for posting!

forestrangergrrl -> RE: Shiver Me Timbers? (7/1/2008 9:52:03 PM)
i agree w/ those who've said it sounds like shock. it's actually one of the early signs of your body going into shock. it's a natural reaction to your body's limits being pushed one way or another. you more than likely had a good adrenaline kick going and when you came down off of it that's how your body reacted. so long as you recoup in a reasonable time, you should have nothing to worry about. (provided you don't have any other medical type issues like high/low blood pressure or diabetes or something that could put your system out of whack)

Have you had your thyroid checked? I believe a symptom of hyperthyroidism is trembling.

Alumbrado -> RE: Shiver Me Timbers? (7/2/2008 5:44:06 PM)
Ther person I'm playing with a lot these days trembles and complains of cold while under 2 or 3 blankets for about 20 minutes after we stop... I'm drenched, and she's freezing... very likely a mild shock type reaction as mentioned... the body trying to settle back down from the adrenalin and endorphin rides.

SilentTigresss -> RE: Shiver Me Timbers? (7/3/2008 8:43:14 AM)
Wow........ i didn't think of shock either. Thank you.
