Infrared sauna blanket for pain relief

Posted by urusvati @urusvati, 2 days ago

I have been coping with PMR pred therapy and tapering for about ten months. I'm tapering 1mg/mo from 10mg and am currently at 2mg. It was at 5mg that I started feeling awful again. The stiffness/pain is a near constant. But I want to manage without prednisone. Is anyone using an infrared sauna blanket for inflammation/pain relief?

You can buy infrared clothing and or bed sheets. I used clothing a lot earlier in my journey. Slept in some as well.Much easier and less messing about than sauna.
