Light Box

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

Last week I finally went to a Dermotologist Dr., I really like him;

he is more agressive than my Rheumy Dr. and wants to start me on

Enbrel right away (my Rheumy didn't want to because of my Orthopedic

Dr. wants to do hip surgery for the third time around Christmas and

was afraid of Enbrel messing up my immune system-I think it is

already don't you with the PA? LOL!!) Anyhow Dr. Derm.'s nurse

mentioned the " light box " they have at their office to use for my P,

but I said no thanks. Yesterday I woke feeling terrible-fatigue like

usual, but feeling like not doing anything but sleeping-so I called

and they told me to come in to use the " box " . I loved it-it is like

a tanning booth, but I was only in it for 45 secs.-I thought it

wouldn't do anything, but I felt more energy than I felt for along

time. They also gave me samples of different body lotions, creams,

and shampoos. Each time I go in they increase the time 15 secs. and

I can go in 2-3 times a week. Just alittle pampering sometimes go

along way like some of you that have mentioned going and having your

feet done and a massage.

Fran I don't know if you read my one message-I do realize what you

meant about others with pain and catching this awful disease early.

I need to realize also that I should be thankful that it isn't worse.

My Rheumy said that I should think of the positive that I'm on the

getting better side.

Thanks to all of you and God Bless, Sue.
