I have one of MBS's units...works a treat but taking a break currently as worried about the future side affects and trying out diet as an alternative. Im happy knowing that i have the unit ready and waiting for when next needed

it's amazing how much this skin condition affects mental health..I am so depressed but have to stay ok for my disabled 11 year old and my 20 year old. I just feel buying tubes is so out of reach.I am a carer to my disabled child.single mum (not a sob story) just when I think I can buy some tubes my car dies on me lol. can't even date coz feel so crap! I remember last summer I had my light treatment at hospital and wow! first time ever I could go out in the sun wearing shorts and feeling good! (I'm 39 and not once been able to do this before then) i had so much confidence and was so happy) no second hand units on internet etc...so frustrating

Hi all I have a single UVB canopy for sale if anyone is interested? Light therapy has been the only thing that has worked long term for me. You can email me at weeza.atkinson@googlemail.com

I have bad plaque psoriasis on my legs which has responded to no treatments except uvb

An update. I am still using my unit once or twice a week (varies according to my diary) and remain mostly clear. The stubborn patches on my lower legs are almost clear now as well. Well worth the money. So convenient and effective. At hospital I'd have to wait over 3 months from the date of referral and, of course, treatment then stops altogether whereas it would make more sense to keep doing it on a maintenance frequency. Buying your own gets around all that but I agree with older posts which recommend having a course in the hospital first to really understand how to build up slowly and avoid burning.

Hi Tracy, Which of the sunbeds did you buy. I see that there are various combination of 9 tubes, a mixture of uvb and uva on the MBS site.. Thanks
