Thanks so much for the info!!!
My husband ordered us an indoor sauna with all the extras. I’m also hoping to relieve my pain and get off meds. We should have it within the next two weeks. I’ll give an update after I use it.

@A MySpondylitisTeam Member. The key to ridding your body of disease is thorough testing to reveal the causes. Don't overlook the autonomic nervous system. Ooh, if your sauna has gama wavelengths give yourself a 10 minute dose of that. Very helpful for the brain wavelengths, good therapy for an empath. Keep in mind, no treatment will work if you don't identify, stop, and rid your body of the catalysts to your disease activity. As an example, mine was due to heavy metals (cesium of all things🤷‍♀️), hiding klebsiella pneumonia (never heard of it before), streptococcus, multiple mold mycotoxins, drastically imbalanced gut microbiome preventing me from absorbing the healing nutrition I was pounding down. LA, as in Louisiana? You probably have mold mycotoxins too if you live down the highway from me in that humid state. The hardest to get rid of though is the PTSD, especially if you're an empath or other subtype of highly sensitive people. The stress triggered in a constantly on sympathetic state of the autonomic nervous system is a horrible trigger for inflammation that rarely turns off. Deeply feeling people can't just turn that off. That's when it's a good thing to be a shallow idiot.🤪 Pros and cons to everything I suppose. Enjoy the sauna! Another awesome home therapy is a jacuzzi tub. Toss in 6 pounds Epsom salt with potassium in addition to the magnesium. Stay in for a full hour. You'll be pain-free the rest of the day. I do that followed by the red light after I get out. While sitting in front of the red light I rub my body down with a nourishing homeopathic body oil full of good stuff to absorb into the body. Listen to zen music during this time to work on that autonomic nervous system. My most recent needle mover has been the addition of peptide supplements that target specific systems in your body. You have Psoriatic arthritis? That's tendon targeting. BPC-157 is very helpful for healing tendons, ligaments and muscles. Cartilage and skin does awesome with GHK-CU. Reach out or look for my posts on peptides, I've done a couple I think, for more on that. You got this beast Tanya. It's time consuming and complicated because it's multifaceted. But it's definitely doable. Just dont give up, especially when it feels like your efforts are backfiring. That's just the bugs getting revealed as your body is eliminating them and regrowing new replacement cells to tissues. Treat your body like you're growing a baby inside, because you are, but the baby is the new you. Yours in better health P 😌 🙏

@A MySpondylitisTeam Member. I've been using a red/near infrared panel for about 6 months now and it has been one of 3 therapies that I have used the past 6 years that has made a significant positive move of the needle for me in getting my disease activity into remission. I use it as recommended, 10 minutes per area needed, typically 4 for me, 5 days a week. The device I use is the RedRush840 Pulse. Expensive and worth every penny. I definitely feel i have already gotten my money's worth. It took about a month or so to notice the difference. Now I sit in front of it after a workout or when I'm particularly sore and notice improvement in the new pain as soon as the 10 minute session is done. I highly recommend it. The key is to make sure whatever device you use has near infrared wavelengths of at least 850nm. In addition to muscle and joint relief, my psoriasis is gone and my skin never looked better even though I'm 60. My official primary autoimmune diagnosis is Psoriatic Spondylitis and my entire body along with major organs has been affected by it. Currently i am subjectively 90% cured of it. No meds other than Itraconazole to rid my body of mold mycotoxins, one of my disease causes. Dont let anyone tell you there's no cure, they just dont know it yet. Yours in better health P 😌 🙏

Has anyone used indoor infrared sauna, red light therapy with chromotherapy? What are the pros and cons?

The search results don't contain specific information about infrared saunas, red light therapy, or chromotherapy for spondylitis. However, heat therapy is generally recognized as helpful for managing spondylitis symptoms.

Heat therapy can help relax stiff joints and reduce pain, which many people with spondylitis find beneficial. Some MySpondylitisTeam members have shared positive experiences with various heat treatments for managing their symptoms.

Important considerations:

Before trying any new therapy like infrared saunas or red light therapy, it's essential to discuss it with your rheumatologist. This is especially important if you're taking immunosuppressive medications like biologics or steroids, as these can affect how your body responds to different treatments.

Your healthcare provider can help you understand:
* Whether these therapies are safe with your current medications
* Any potential risks specific to your situation
* How to use them safely if appropriate

Connecting with other members on MySpondylitisTeam who may have tried these therapies could provide helpful insights from personal experience, but always consult your doctor before starting any new treatment approach.
