    Hi Gabrielle,

    thanks for your post. I am taking 1000IU of vitamin D (just started 5 days ago). I have a few auto-immune issues as well – celiac disease, hashimoto’s thyroiditis and scleroderma. Everything seems to link back to imflammation. Unfortunately, heat causes inflammation as well which is why I have been advised to stop Bikram. I look forward to hearing from you.

    Namaste, Leanne

    Hi there –

    I have always had rosacea on my face and the resulting super red face when I exercise. I have recently been diagnosed with rosacea in the eyes (who knew). I am told by my eye Dr and dermatologist that I have to give Bikram’s up. I am not able to wear my contact lenses either until things settle down. However, I really like Bikrams and it has helped so much with knee and back pain, toning up etc. I am also working with a naturopath and we are trying to address Vit D defficiencies thru herbs. What should I do about Bikrams – I am scared to go and risk more eye problems but I really miss it. I look forward to your thoughts.

    Leanne
