My daughter read the instructions and under medical warning it says Do not use if you have thyroid problems, diabetes or are taking medicine for depression. Does anyone know why. > The manufacturer (or UK or European representative) have to tell you if you ask (ask the QA dept). Certainly some antidepressant drugs make you photosensitive, meaning in this example more sensitive to UV light and sunburn (but your machine might not deliver UV light so I'm not convince this is the reason) No idea re diabetes/thyroid though.

Took your advice and phoned the advice line. I was told that Thyroid medication makes you more sensitive to UV light as well. Looks like another waste of money !!! Cant take it back as I bought it last year. Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
