I am already so dry I could not stand to be even more drier than usual. But talk with your doctor because comments made by members in this group it has helped. Check with your insurance to see if they would cover it. Mine would have but my doctor decided against it.

It's very strictly controlled, with the time gradually increased. There is also a control on the number of sessions you can have in your lifetime.
