Hi All,
I have Uhthoffs Syndrome which means if i have a bath my body heats up, and in the past i’ve had 2 nasty relapses because of this, hence now i can only have showers.
I have been searching the web on info on if using a sunbed would cause same symptons but cannot find any info anywhere?
The sunbed would only be for 3 minutes at a time but my husband is panicking about what might happen. Please can anyone put our minds at ease before i take the plunge thanks

Wiki definition talks of overheated from hot weather, exercise, fever, or saunas and hot tubsI
The sunbed I have doesn’t warm my skin particularly. and my partner finds the same. Maybe it’s because mine is not very powerful.
It’s slightly warming in that it’s not like laying naked on the bed but I have to put it on for 10~20 minutes before using it to give it a chance to warm the bed a bit.
If you are only going to use it for 3 minutes I think it would be worth continuing with your Vitamin D supplements as I’d be surprised if that was suffienct to improve vitamin d status much.
Is it not possible for your husband to try the bed himself to see how effective it was at warming his body over 3~5 minutes.?
Certainly would have to be a lot more powerful than mine to raise skin temperature that quickly.
Sorry about duplication, Don’t know how it happened, hopefully mods will remove the duplicate and this post.
