And have low mobility so I thought this would help. I have had one knee
Replacement and am waiting for the other knee to be done. I go
swimming 3 times a week this is only my second week. The symptoms have got worse. Pain, swelling and itching. I was wondering if I could
apply something before swimming. Did you try anything to help.

I filter my drinking and shower water to remove chlorine. i swim in the sea.
I agree with the theory that LS is caused by chemicals and toxins.
Some private pools purify with ozone....so worth asking around. hope this helps....and yes what are the fun ways to exercise?
love marey x

In my previous home I was in charge of our swimming pool and kept the chemicals as low as possble - almost like drinking water - possible because only i and my husband used the pool regularly- It did mean a vigilent eye being kept on the water's condition but I didnt have any symptoms then

I think any skin sensitivity will be exacerbated by chemicals in our clothing, water, soaps and perhaps foodstuffs, but until a trial is undertaken i will reserve judgement relating to the cause. LS could be a genetic disposition to allergic responses, as with other auto immune conditions. Indeed viruses have also been considered to trigger the auto immune responses in various ways.
