First Time Cool Sculpting Experience: INTENSE PAIN FOLLOWING - Fibromyalgia Patient - Cary, NC

Five Sessions purchased for the front. Two upper abdomen, two lower, one large for the center stomach. Only one has been done at this point. I am terrified to finish the procedures....
here is why....

I just had my very first Cool Sculpting procedure done two weeks ago. February, 2016. Within days, I did not have any swelling and I began to see a difference in my lower abdomen on the left side. This spa does not have a Dual Sculpting machine; had I known one existed, I would have certainly gone there. Additionally, I would have gone to another location where it would have been medically supervised by a physician. (read on to know why).

Back to results: I am seeing results already. The left side is flatter and doesn't protrude outward the way the right, untreated side does.

HOWEVER: he PAIN! Oh, the pain was excruciating! AFTER the procedure. IF you are a Fibromyalgia patient...please read this!

During the actual procedure, I experienced tugging, pulling, deep pain, and obviously the intense cold. I assumed that this was normal or maybe it was hurting me a little more than most, but at the time, I considered this to be par for the course.

I was told about the mandated two minute massage following the procedure. This is done by the technician to break up the ice crystals of the frozen fat. If you get this procedure, be prepared for the really odd looking tummy of "the stick of butter" following the removal of the suction device! Your fat is literally shaped as a stick of butter and is raised up on the belly. My skin was also frozen and red in color. And the pain was unbelievable! When the technician began the massage, I thought I was going to come off of the table. I really did. I was moaning and groaning and trying to catch my breath. I have never had children, but I am a Fibromyalgia patient. My experience of pain is much worse than the average person. MUCH worse. I also would imagine that childbirth may be more painful, but this pain was over the top. My skin felt as if it were severely burned to the touch. Her fingers massaging it was more than I could take.
THEN, IT BEGAN:
When the technician removed her hands from my belly, the pain I felt was as indescribable and unimaginable - more than anything I had ever experienced in my life. I literally though that I was going to go into shock from it, and was told to breathe as I was beginning to hyperventilate. This pain lasted, for what I believe, to be about two minutes in duration; however, it was excruciating. So much, that I canceled my next appointment and am only going back because I DO need the other side done so my stomach will be even all the way across....dread, dread, dread.

Since my first procedure, I have been doing research and I have found out that Fibro patients are NOT candidates for this procedure.
Having said all of this, the one procedure I really wanted done was my upper belly. That is where I carry most of my excess fat. Unfortunately, this will be done last due to the way this spa chose to perform the procedures.: the lower abdomen and then the upper/middle.

I am very interested in knowing if anyone else has suffered such intense pain following their procedures? It doesn't last long, but again, I couldn't wait for it to end.
*** I am 50 years old. Had I know that we are not good candidates and neither is any other person who has a chronic pain condition, I would have never signed up for it! I wish I had done my homework before the first procedure! That is for certain...
I am interested in knowing what your experiences have been.
Please share.
Thanks so much!
