Hi,
I just want to add my 2 cents here too. Everyone is different so i can only speak as to what the infra red sauna did for me. Before I was diagnosed I thought i had fibromyalgia ,and that an infra red sauna sounded like just the thing to soothe my achy joints and muscles. A local spa had one, and my daughter and I thought we'd give it a try. It made me feel SO much worse.
I am with the people who say you should probably stay away from anything that will raise your core temperature. It only makes sense to me that if we have a lot of imflamation in our bodies ,then applying heat to our bodies would only exacerbate that. So I try to stay away from becoming overheated in any way. Be it from the sun ,saunas, heating pads etc.
Good luck, Kate
