Read the about the study of tanning beds to relieve the pain in fibromyalgia patients.
I was watching the news tonight at 11pm on KABC and one lady had pain so bad with her fibromyalgia that exercise wasn't helping and the medicines didn't agree with her. She tried tanning booth and it helped her pain. The dermatologist who recommended it to her knows it helps some patients but also said with anything you have to consider the risk as tanning booths do cause skin cancer.
Here is a little bit about it for those who might want to try something else for their fibromyalgia pain.
Ultraviolet light may help relieve pain in fibromyalgia syndrome patients, according to a preliminary study at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center conducted by dermatology, rheumatology, and public health sciences researchers.
