Hi Shirley. I have heard of SAD but don't know of anyone with it. I could do with some sun for my nails. As soon as the winter comes they seem to break and crumble. As soon as the sun is out and its warm I can grow them again. We all feel better in the summer. It can't be very nice if you suffer from depression from lack of sun. A light box could well be the solution. I hope it works for you. Let us know how you get on. X

Definitely worth a try, I lived in the South of France for 20 years coming back to the UK was like putting out the lights, its not the heat its the lack of light that causes Sad and it happens allot with Ex pats coming back from a country with light to the UK where we have very little of it.

I too suffer from SAD though I havent tried a light box.. Hope you will let us know what difference it makes. Looking forward to lighter days. Joyce xxx

My husband suffers from SAD and has light box. If he doesn't use it he gets very grumpy,

Try extra vitamin D as well.

Hi I'm also on warfarin but I've been told whatever supplements you take the clinic will get the balance right by upping or lowering the warfarin,but please double check
