Sometimes I feel tired after my enema session

Hello their to all....i am new to the site and wanted to ask if any of you guys or gals every experienced fatigue from your sessions.......i love enemas but they wipe me out with fatigue for a couple of days and drain me of energy........any ideas

I've heard that enemas can sometimes stir up your electrolytes. I'm no medical expert but that might be a cause for fatigue. Does anyone in the group know more about this?

I often find that my bottom is very tried after a series of enemas and expusions. She sometimes need to rest before additional play.

I have definitely experienced the sleepy effect, but it has never lasted beyond a good night's sleep. You may have lost some electrolytes (salts) with the water, or had some effect from the herbs, which I don't use.

For many people, a short period of calmness after an enema is common. It is just like after an orgasm where you lay back and quietly enjoy the afterglow. Fatigue lasting for a couple of days is definitely not normal. The people I've experienced enemas with, have often had a feeling of "being spent" after a couple of large enemas and like at least a short rest before jumping up and getting dressed and running out into the world. Quickie little enemas do not produce the same feeling of calmness after expulsion.

Enemas before bed, provide for a more relaxing nights sleep.

I sometimes have a hardtime getting to sleep but a 15 or 20 minute retention enema puts me out in minutes after. Have't had problems otherwise.

My sub has the same "problem" with enemas, getting a very good nights sleep afterwards. I had wondered if that was the effect for everyone or if my boy just wanted to get away from me.

A colon therapist I see twice a year told me that some of her clients even doze off during treatment, especially when she gives them a small implant to hold at the end of the session and she dims the lights.

As a child, I was always put to bed for a nap or for the night after one of Mom's "good" enemas, and I was ready for it.

It depends on how many I take. If I only have 1-5 full gallon bags I feel very relaxed. If I take more than 5, I may get a bit tired. I don't enjoy getting tired after taking that many enemas since I like to have some more fun.

Since I was usually already sick when given an enema, I was ready to return to bed for a nap or even an overnight sleep. Colonics now tend to relax me, not tire me.

If you do not replenish your electrolytes as you go, it is likely that enemas will make you feel a bit weak and dizzy.

Taking enemas in the evening is best because of the relaxing feeling afterwards.If you take three or more in one session,you may feel a little tired because of the depleted colon,although some people like the feeling of emptiness,they feel lighter and more energetic,they also prefer morning enemas.The lack of salt in the enema solution can also make you feel tired,so be sure to put one teaspoon of salt for each quart of water.Let the good times flow.w/m72yrs/W.MA

My enema sessions are always at night unless I have a god awful stomach ache during the day. A 3 bag sessions leaves me mellow and ready for bed….so yes I feel tired but the timing is righ

Fatigue is probably an indication of electrolyte imbalance. try taking the enemas with a little salt/soda. I always add about a teaspoon of salt to my 2 quart bag, it not only feels better than plain water, but it will help prevent that washed out feeling.

If you take you enema and expel it within half an hour, I doubt you will have any electrolyte problem at all. You will not absorb as much through an enema as you will by drinking a large or supersized drink. Colonic irrigations, go on for an hour, with tap water, filtered or not, going in and out of you with no untoward effects.

Do you have an electrolyte imbalance if you drink a quart of water or have a super sized iced tea (often as large as 48-64 ounces) or other super sized drink?

You may just be tired from using muscles to retain and then push out the enema. Is it bad when some people (mostly men--sorry guys) get tired after having an orgasm after sex? No! it is just your body entering a resolution phase. No need to be concerned at all. I truly believe that the "electrolyte imbalance" thing with enemas is highly over-rated for everybody with the exception of those with known severe endocrine, kidney or cardiac problems.

I always have my enema sessions at nightime.After a good sleep,I feel like someone shove some batteries up my rear because I'm raring to go nonstop.I use salt in my enema solutions at all times.Let the good times FLOW.w/m73yrs/Western Ma

I always feel some fatigue after cleaning out, but I think that is from the use of muscles first retaining and then expelling all the water.

Crotchshaver, feeling fatigue after cleaning out might point to depleted electrolytes. If your body/blood stream absorbs a lot of fluid, it can cause your magnesium and potassium levels to drop, making you feel drained and exhausted. Adding a bit of salt to your enema water can prevent that. I think the recommendation is one teaspoon of salt per quart. If I'm wrong, one of the more scientifically-minded folks will tell you the correct amount. I just eyeball it and don't measure it out. I prefer using sea salt or non-iodized salt since iodine has the potential to be irritating to the intestines, however, it probably doesn't matter that much.

If you ever notice heart palpitations after enemas, your potassium is probably low so eat a high potassium food like a banana or drink some orange juice. I keep potassium tablets around to take when mine is low but mine are a prescription due to being on a diuretic.

Anyway, enjoy and play safe.

Thanks, egirlky

I use a shower shot, so I don't think adding salt that way is an option. I have started drinking sports drinks such as Propel Zero and low calorie G2 Gatorade to try to balance my electrolytes, but haven't tried it with the enema but once.

Ah, CS. Then that could be your problem. Down a banana or some Gatorade before, during and/or after your enemas to keep your electrolytes in balance.

I should listen to my own advice because I took a series today of plain water and was more tired after than I was before, but I'd been awake all night so I thought the fatigue was from lack of sleep. However, when I got into bed, I had a few heart palpitations so I got up and took my potassium supplement. Then climbed back in bed and slept like a baby.

Enjoy your Shower Shot, just be careful to keep your electrolytes in check.

You may be overdoing it somewhere. It DOES take 15 minutes or so to recover.
