Regular sunbeds?

[+xausted]

Is there a reason why I should not use a regular sunbed at the moment? I am having no treatment until I start MTX in a weeks time. I went yesterday and p seems a little better this afternoon.

well I know that it's not good for you long term especially when you're faired skinned as I am but when I'm well enough I do go 2-3 times a week for 5-6 mins a time and it really helps my p. A GP advised me to try this. Just please be carefull how much you use it.

i use one it's been fine but watch out when on MTX
will make you more sensitive and burn then you will end up going backwards

I know about the long term problems, and i am fair skinned as well(well, more translutant to be honest), I just wondered if I shouldnt for P for any reason.
The girl in the shop said to start first session on 3 minutes. She didnt say how often I could use it. Do I go back today, tommorrow, day after...next week?

LOL I was told to start at 3mins and work up to 5-6, never have done more than that and my place won't let you on more that 3 times per week with a day inbetween sessions.

just take your time and very slowly build up as you are fair skinned you might burn to easily

just take care

It is either coincedence and I am having a good couple of days, or else one session on the sunbed has done more for my P than any other medication/ointment has ever done! Scales all gone now...only the other day they where shedding all over and I was bleeding. Wow, long may this last
