Hi Eve @hosta, I had not heard of cryotherapy before so did a little searching and found some information that may help.

From the FDA - Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC): A "Cool" Trend that Lacks Evidence, Poses Risks

Harvard Medical School - Cryotherapy: Can it stop your pain cold?

American Academy of Dermatology: Whole body cryotherapy can be hazardous to your skin
-- https://www.aad.org/public/skin-hair-nails/skin-care/cryotherapy

It would be interesting to hear from members who have tried cryotherapy.

Thanks John for the information on Cryotherapy. I don't believe that it sounds like something I would like to try. I don't like to be cold. I just keep praying that the doctors will come up with something that could help, But as some one said "there is not magic pill". I would be interested to try most anything, except being "frozen"!.
