It's crucial to talk to your rheumatologist before trying either therapy, as responses can vary significantly between individuals. Some doctors may advise against it due to potential flare risks. Some MyLupusTeam members have reported mixed experiences. One member found that while red light therapy didn't help their hair loss or discoid rash, it did provide relief for body aches, joint pain, and stiffness. However, another member's rheumatologist strongly advised against trying it due to flare risks.
If your doctor approves trying these therapies, it's important to only use FDA-approved devices and seek treatment at licensed, certified facilities rather than gyms or salons. Keep track of your body's response and maintain open communication with your healthcare provider about any changes in symptoms.
