Magnetic Mattress
FieselDE
have arthritis and have been thinking of buying a magnet mattress. Has anyone
had improvement of pain by using one? How long does it take to adjust to
sleeping on one? Thanks for your replies.

If you hurt enough, you will be willing to grasp for straws and I would not
fault you for that. During the next few days or so, notice how much your pain
fluctuates. That is so that you do not end up confusing normal variation for a
cure. Can you get your money back if it does not work?
As far as I know, there is no experimental evidence that magnets will ease
pain. Moreover, there even is no plausible unproven but logical mechanism for
that happening. That does not stop people from taking advantage.

air mattress and have been sleeping on the magnet mattess for almost a year and
a half. I have stopped occasionally thinking that the relief I feel is all in
my head but in 5 days I am back in major pain. I use the Nikken brand and was
loaned it on a trial basis by my Nikken rep. Maybe you could try something
like that. Whatever works for you is what I would go with. Diane

I have tried magnets, tho not a magnetic matress. They did nothing for my pain.
In fact they gave bruises where I rolled on them in my sleep.
I'd say if you were going to try it make sure you had a money back deal in
writing!

Hi Diane, If it comes back in 5 days then all its doing is interrupting
your ability to feel pain. The reason I do not take anykind of dope
for my pain is--two reasons----I guess my pain is not bad enough or I
would and two--How do you know when your overdoing a joint and causing
dammage???

And boy an I ever glad it does!!!
>How do you know when your overdoing a joint and causing
>dammage???
I ask my doctor if I "worked thru the pain" would I being doing damage to
myself of just causing more pain. He said, just causing more pain. So, I take
the drugs when I need to move and 6 hours later when they wear off, I'm
reminded that I still have RA.
I'm not a big believer in suffering.

types of discomforts. In particular Baylor University ran a study using magnets
with Post-Polio patients. I have a copy of that study and it can be found on
the internet.

experienced such relief with magnetic insoles in my shoes. I thought
that it was a bunch of hoodoo voodoo at first when I was first
approached about using this modality. I thought that i knew a lot about
alternative and complementary medicine but was a real novice in the
magnetic energy field. I can tell you that over a month or two I
realized that I couldn't/wouldn't sleep w/o the mattress and have a
smaller one that I take with me when I travel. Like the insoles, I
noticed the benefit over time, not an immediate earth shattering
experience. Now the strange thing is---my cat who has feline aids,
whenever she's running a temperature elevation & "feeling poorly", gets
on the mattress and doesn't want to leave. I can't explain the process
well scientifically, but I know that magnets have made a tremendous
difference in the management of my RA. Although my doctor thinks it's
all "hooey", she does allow me to try other treatments in conjunction
with her program, as long as I let her know what I'm doing. I use
traditional health care primarily but have found that massage and
magnets are a nice adjunct to my treatment regime. SusanF

something that works for you. But I think you will also find, that most of the
people here agree with your doctor. But I also know that a few of us (myself
included) have tried magnets without benefit.

I do not believe that magnetic devices have any effect on arthritis other than
depriving the victim of money.
I am willing to be convinced otherwise.

to arrange more travel, but to get an invoice.
He ask me how the magnet necklace he gave me was going, and I said that I
had lost it (forgot to put it on to visit him - don't want to upset him as
he gives us good rates), anyway he gave me another one and I put it on
and am still wearing it (guilt, guilt, for lying).
AND TODAY my left hand is killing me (BWEG) What I want to know is, is it
the magnets that are causing the flare!! hmmmmmmmmm

LOL, Dave...we have enough trouble getting out of bed in the morning, we don't
need to have to fight through a magnetic field..."We're at full impulse power,

Tried a magnetic mattress for my OA hips and back--useless. Pat
>>
My greatest discomfort(back spurs) comes when I try to roll over in bed. The
magnetic pad has a satin-like cover which I use on top of the sheet. So
although I consider the magnets worthless,I really am more comfortable moving
on the "sleek" pad.
Most people don't want to sleep on satin sheets but probably the same thing can
be
acheived by using a folded satin sheet if someone wants to try it. MRP

I am glad that you are recovering but how do you know that the magnets did the
job? How about all the other treatments you have received? How much did they
contribute to your recovery?

It is more insiduous than merely advertising. It is attempting to separate
peoples' money for very questionable devices at inflated prices. It exploits
the human desire for pain relief. It is evil.

That was a 9.2.....not bad for a first try, but you need a little more lift in
your upswing. Try it one more time! <g>

look? That might be too much metal for me; but actually if one were going to
try any alternative therapy of any kind there is a reasonable way to go about
it. There will always be individuals who do not care what it takes to make a
"buck." It is unfortunate that spamers can legally seep into medical boards at
all...
I think that it is all in the up-swing! <G> Kristin

HiKristin, If it makes you feel better about magnet products. They
can come here and say what they want and how slick they are to be
overcome by information and clear thinking and the will to try protect
people who are desperate for relief. The advertisiers know what they
are doing when you see their product in the subject line over and over
and over and over no matter what is being said. Why else would they
put up with rejection over and over????
