I searched around for the word 'Ceragem' - very pleased that there is a post about it on these boards.
I know the feeling about not being able to get out - but surprisingly, the Ceragem is pretty good on our backs. It's like an acupressure - chiropractor - and a masseuse, all rolled into one. The spinal roller that goes up and down your back is computerized and measures your length so that the blood circulation is effective and efficient. There was a Ceragem center close to me but they were offering a 2 week trial with a $50 deposit to use the Ceragem machine in my home. It's nice - I am on day 5 so far. They have 9 different levels which is mainly for blood circulation but helps with deep sleep, relaxation, and general back problems.
I use a heated mat as well that is made with microfibers that attract far infrared rays and negative ions called the Biomat. The heat isn't close to comparable to other "warm" pads. the Biomat goes through the bones and though I admit, I had a detox effect - probably from all previous toxins built up and BigPharma for 10+ years - I would recommend completely. I can have intense lupus arthritis and not be able to grasp anything with a hand, sleep overnight at the nearly highest heat level, and be completely mobile the next morning. The only con I'd say, is that I sweat out a lot, so showers and getting ready needs to have that time included in your day.
