As someone with MS, now, almost certainly in part due to EXACTLY this (correlation ≠ causation, of course, but there’s got to be a relationship there, given where MS occurs at high levels), please yes… Actually do pay attention to this, folks. I thought I did, enough, and now my body is fucking betraying me, because I didn’t, lololol… 😞 But hey, at least I don’t have le coof, I suppose… 🙄
Take that as somewhat of a warning. Trust me, you don’t want this “condition”…
I would much rather have “long Covid”, or pretty much anything actually treatable, and not lifelong, than this. Hell, I would rather have fucking cancer, at this point. No word of a lie. 😞
Yeah I live in Seattle and it has one of the highest rates of MS; low levels of sun and skin exposure.
I think people in difficult climates need to be diligent about taking their extra vitamins. And it's a really easy thing to do. What's not to love?
Well, there is the fact that the vast majority of vitamins and supplements are just creating very expensive urine.
Vitamin D is obviously a low cost, low risk measure.
But anyone who knows the history of trends in synthetic vitamin supplementation understands that essentially none of them over time have been proven to improve general health in individuals over the long-term.
Exercise and eat real food instead.
There's very little salvation in pill form.
Or just… Spend more time outside, whenever there is any sun whatsoever…
That’s my mistake, I gather!
Now I have to spend the rest of my life with a body that doesn’t work properly… Amazing, really… 😞
Side note: things in Australia just got very, very dark, just as I get on top of aspects of my personal life…
So sorry if I disappear again for a while. I’m so fucking angry and sad. I need to figure out how to actually… “Push back”, though, because this is getting… Frightening, over here. 😔
