My daughter is suffering from chronic lymes disease. She has severe joint pain throughout her body. I was wondering if you could give input whether a jet massage tub would benefit vs a regular tub.

Welcome to the forum, llquislaura

I don’t really know about the jet massage vs regular tub for your daughter.

I know that I would love it

You mentioned joint pain - does she also have muscle pain?

Are you considering purchasing one?
Could she try one out first - Maybe at the local pool? (Our pool has a jacuzzi )

Is your daughter currently in treatment for lyme and co’s?
Sorry she is suffering with this - hope she gets relief soon

I would worry about mold with a jet tub. I have heard they can get moldy - inside the jet system I guess.

Yes, WbF - I have wondered about that. Our son bought a condo with one in his bathroom. And I wonder about the bacteria...germs...I mean it's second hand - so not even his germs...lol. I guess he could disinfect it....
