Uhthoffs Syndrome and using Sunbeds

Everyday living
1

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

I’m not going to put your mind at ease. DON’T DO IT…Get vitamin D3 supplement,false tan, Bisto, creosote, or whatever shade you fancy,but why take the risk,for the sake of vanity.You may not like the idea, but Himself is right,and it’ll be him picking up the pieces if you microwave yourself and it precipitates a relapse
