Sunshine is so good for our VitD levels which we need so much of . I always feel better when the sky is blue and not cloudy, that alway's makes me feel like there is a big burden weighing me down.. I am struggling with the heat due to my exhaustion levels but I am willing to put up with it . Let's enjoy every moment of this wonderful weather. trish29

I have problems with keeping my VitD levels up too but my rheumy has put me on long term antibiotics as it helps and now I can't be in the sun as it reacts with the antibiotics! I give up!

Hot weather really makes the exhaustion much worse.

Hello m33ary , sorry you are having problems with your vit D levels and the heat.. It's been very hot today again and I think there is more to come over the weekend.. I didn't realise that the Medics can give patients antibiotics long term as I always thought the body needs a break from them..and particularly if you can't take the sun when you are on them? Do you give yourself a rest during your day to help the exhaustion? . I would never get through my day if I didn't have a couple of hours rest in the afternoon . No one knows what the exhaustion is like do they? Unless they are going through it themselves. I have a new Rheumatologist now and when I see my GP next Monday Afternoon I hope to start on 3 monthly injections..so I'm hoping things may improve.. I hope you feel better soon. Best wishes trish29

Hello all, now the weather has cooled down and I am in so much pain in the mornings. Is it the temperature or stress as that has been high the last fortnight. Just work out what I can cope with in the mornings and the rest has to be done afternoon and evenings. Just amazing the difference and ability levels. It would be ok I think if I did not have to go to bed. Keeping still is the enemy. I am thinking about some alternative complementary treatment. Any suggestions?
