I have an infra red sauna which I use for Lyme treatment. It helps also with fibromyalgia. I am beginning another round of IV therapy/rocephin this week, and wondering if I can get in there with the picc line?

THANKS

I used mine while I had a PICC, but I kept the temperature low, so I didn't sweat. If you sweat, you have to be able to change the dressing after the sauna. Some people learned how to change the dressing at home so they could do it right after the sauna.

Hope this helps!

My llmd wanted me to be careful with my picc line,
as the sweating can bring the plastic covering up,
and I don't want any infection in the line.

I stand in the sauna, with my left arm (with picc
line out the door). Still works.
