SEE!!! Pale skin is better. Everyone can shut up and stop telling me to “get some sun.”

julesG Well, you should still get some sun for the vitamin D, 30 minutes in natural daylight with your skin free of sunblock should do the trick. Don't get burnt, don't roast in the sun for a tan. I have pale skin, too (thank you, Scandinavian genes), but have learned that my MS is less active when I get sun as often as possible. Just looking out for you here. 😘 4y
Crazeedi My dr told me I should supplement with D since I have this complexion 4y
Crazeedi @julesG I've read that most people who live north of a certain latitude are vit D deficient 4y

julesG @Crazeedi True, especially in winter. I had to supplement with 10.000 IU once a week for a year, now I have to take 1.000 IU per day. 4y
GingerAntics @Crazeedi it‘s easier for you to make it naturally, but in certain climates you still need to supplement. (edited) 4y
GingerAntics @julesG I generally don‘t use sunscreen because my skin is so sensitive, using it once has me broken out for weeks and putting it on top of that burns. I can get burned in as little as 5 minutes, depending on the sun. I walk everywhere, though, so as long as it‘s sunny, I‘m getting my vitamin D. 4y
GingerAntics @julesG holy mother that seems like such a lot of vitamin D. It‘s been so rainy here lately, I‘m beginning to wonder if I should start popping a few vitamin D tablets. 4y
julesG Don't forget, I live in an area that has fewer hours of sunlight all year round than where you live. You should be fine. 4y
GingerAntics @julesG Germany has less sun year round? No one ever told us that in all my years in German class. I just found this map that superimposes Europe and the US based on latitude. Germany, and the UK are all up in bloody Canada!!! Hungary, Austria and most of France are up around Minnesota (which has normal bloody weather. Wow, ya learn something every day. 4y
julesG See. And yet, I'm glad I don't live in the Scandinavian parts with little to no sun all winter. 4y
GingerAntics @julesG yeah, three hours of daylight, one hour of daylight, then in summer the sun comes up at like 3 am. I don‘t know how my ancestors did it. 4y
