The Body High ...

Hey Shroomery! It's been a while!
So recently I've been trying to get back into the psychedelic world. I was with a friend last weekend and he said he had some left over shrooms he could sell me. I was torn on the decision cause I haven't thought about it in a while, but I said fuck it and bought the 1.5g's thinking it wouldn't be much of a trip anyway so I didn't have to over think about dosage and all that, especially cause my first trip was 1.5g's.
This week I put more thought into it and I decided that I'll get another gram for 2.5g's (my highest dose so far, my highest right now is 2g's) and make a full trip out of it. I also have a good tripping buddy with me who's down to do it too.
BUT, my biggest concern is the only ONE thing throwing me off about the whole thing. As I remember from my other 2 trips, the body high was not very enjoyable at all. It would bother me quite a lot for most of the experiences. I'll try to explain as best as I can. Basically it feels like my muscles are super tense to the point where it kind of hurts? It's not like painful, but its really uncomfortable, it feels like my skin hurts or something. You know when you have a fever and your skin gets really sensitive and you get that weird feeling whenever your shirt touches your chest? It's like EXACTLY like that, but everywhere on my body. Hopefully someone can relate to that cause I don't know how else to put it.
So I'm gonna be taking a higher dose than ever before, and that already gives me a bit of anticipation anxiety, but I really don't want the body high to ruin it for me again, especially since it's a higher dose it might be even worse but I don't know.
If anyone relates to this PLEASE HELP ME! I really love shrooms but the body high pretty much kills it for me as much as I hate to say it. I'll go through this next trip regardless cause I'm sure I'll have a good time, but is there any way to ease the body high or these particular feeling I have? I heard making a tea or something of the sort helps ease the body high, but I also here that it makes the trip stronger and shorter, which I don't want.
Any help guys? Thanks in advance!

Ok. First off the body load is different for everyone. Second I highly recommend that you read this thoroughly. Then come back and ask your questions.
http://www.shroomery.org/6222/Experiencing-Mushrooms
Remember the bodyload can be INCREASED by concentrating too much on it. As well as anxiety, paranoia, yawning, etc. My experience is that the "come up" bodyload is worse than the tripping bodyload and pretty much goes away 1 hour into the trip. Marijuana helps me and I have heard that benzos do too(tho I don't partake in anything but weed and shrooms anymore). Also I have found that the only effects (for me) that are increased with dosage are the lack of coordination and visuals. All else seems to stay the same from dose size to dose size(even duration unless I get really crazy ). Hope this helps a little.

I believe I know what your talking about for that body high, I get it too but I don't consider it uncomfortable.
Drinking tea soothes the soul, which in turn could possibly relax your tinglings. :P You will probably always get body sensations when you trip though, don't reject anything about it. Just let them come on. Who knows, maybe those sensations are deeper than they feel? Maybe they ARE something, try exploring it next time and maybe they won't feel as bad. Just a thought.

2.5 is a fairly low dose, I hope you are waiting at least 10 to 14 days between your trips. GL have fun.

My recommendation is to pay more attention to the way your body feels through day to day life. It is possible that you are already tense and the mushrooms have simply made you aware of it.

2.5 g body load is nothing compared to a 5g body load I melt into my floor in a vibrating fashion with hectic doses.
2.5g is a mild buzz...your body just feels like a loose goose...or jello 
I enjoy the changes in pitch on hearing...very psychedelic indeed. Still get that with low doses

Work on your set and setting... More you put into it the better it will be
Might try moving more... Dance... Hiking.... Keep the blood flowing Also say stay hydrated... And drink juice or something with a bit of sugar in it
Good luck and most important... Relax and don't fight the experience

I don't get how people can determine what a low dose is for someone else... I've always been sensitive to hallucinogens. 2.5g could probably do for me what 4g does to someone else. When you say 2.5 is nothing, it makes me wonder...

I ALWAYS notice this too! I always have auditory hallucinations, but when I talk to my friends about this stuff they don't really mind, or maybe don't even notice. It's always played a part in my trips. When sounds rolls through your mind. MhmMMMMmm...

I get the change in pitch a lot too! It's very stereotypically psychedelic and trippy, which is why I love noticing it in my experiences. I love listening to music while tripping, sometimes it sounds like it's whirling around my head!

Experiences are completely relative. Evaluations its intensity are relative as well.
That being said, I was comparing a 2.5g trip to a 5g+ trip. They are different, hence me stating that it's a low dose. 1g is a low dose as well but I still trip pretty nicely
I believe there are different levels in tripping...2.5 for me has usually been level 2-3 trip. 3.5 is frequently a breakthrough experience, and 5g trips are a little uncomfortable at times, but it's where the psychedelic journey is at 
20 grams wet shrooms sent me to another dimension with some rue extract kinda scary lol I thought I would never get back to reality at one moment. Time just stops and I lose myself to infinitely expanding fractals with a deep humming buzz when I yawn

It's alright everyone! I just tripped last night and the body high was completely different! It actually felt great this time! Besides having nausea/stomach problems basically the whole time my body felt awesome, kinda like molly.
My plan was to take 2.5 grams but I was rushed and it was a last minute thing cause I thought I was gonna be doing them tonight instead of last night. I rushed home and ate dinner and then at the shrooms about half an hour later. I think that's why I was nauseous most of the time, especially while eating the shrooms, I thought I was gonna puke before I finished eating them. Next time I'm not gonna do it right after I eat cause it fucked with me.
I tried to go with the flow of the trip and it worked for the most part. I did get anxious and uncomfortable a couple times during the trip, but I just tried to switch my thoughts and eventually it went away. The best cure was laughter lol. I didn't get any visuals this time though, well, not very many at all but I didn't mind, it was an awesome trip.
I think next time I'll take more and worry less!
One thing I am wondering about now though is what happened my first 2 trips? My body high was fucked and it kind of hurt/was very uncomfortable, but this time it was the opposite. I don't know, it confuses me.
Anyway, thanks everyone!

You know you shouldn't do mushrooms with a full stomach right? They digest really slow.

I knew before that I shouldn't do the shrooms on a full stomach, but given my situation there was no other choice, so I ate as little as I possibly could. That's probably why I was tripping for like 8 hours.
