Cold laser is a spot type treatment.

For those with whole body problems, difficult at best.

I'd like to bring this up again...
What drugs are you taking regularly? Like blood pressure, etc?

Some drugs cause a "drug induced lupus" ... this condition eludes diagnosis and does not normally raise ANA.

I had a drug induce lupus from hydralazine when I was pregnant, which was used for hypertension.

Now I am having the past 2 weeks an "arthritis"flare, which I've narrowed down to my lisinopril! Going to the doctor today armed with this study...
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11780682

There are many drugs known now that are potential culprits.

I quit taking my lisinopril last Monday, and already I am much much better.... this was so sneaky... and may also be a trigger for others here.
