FIR Vs Traditional Sauna - Does it make a difference in ME/CFS or FM?

[Cort]

I recently saw this post on PR:

I have been battling this BEAST of an illness for over 40 years now... Very little gives me any relief and when it does it doesn't seem to last. I have spent most of my summer on the couch with my eyes rolled into the back of my head in INTENSE VIRAL HELL... I heard about a girl who had just traveled to Europe to get HYPERTHERMIA therapy for her Lyme and all the related issues that I also have... Sooo Because I am LYME POOR and don't have 60K to go and do that .. I thought hmmmm Jacque just get in your FIR SAUNA every day and see what happens.. Low and behold... within FOUR DAYS.. I was back up and functioning!!! I planned to get in twice a day if need be...but once a day did the trick... I have been chasing all kinds of different therapies and all along my GREATEST weapon was sitting right there in the garage...

Another amazing story ....I did traditional sauna for weeks at Dr. Rea's. It was miserable but after it ended a couple of days later I felt really good for awhile. I got a sauna but it's too harsh for me to do regularly.

One the other hand I LOVE sauna's. Would an infrared sauna make that much of a difference? Has anyone tried both?
