Sun showers

Hi I was dx in January with ms if this year and have been taken avonex injections since march I was just wondering if it is ok to use sun showers?? I can’t go on if I am too hot as this just makes things worse but I am extremely pale I even make Casper look tanned!! So some advice would be great thanks Em :slight_smile:

What’s a sun shower?

I didn’t know the term, either, and had to Google. So, from what I can gather, it’s the latest new-fangled successor to tanning beds? You tan whilst in the shower? On that basis, I don’t think an MS diagnosis has any bearing at all on whether you can/should do it, but knowing what we do about the dangers of artificial tanning (I DON’T mean fake tan), I would question why anyone would want to start down that route. Especially with it looking as if Summer has arrived at last. You needn’t lie soaking up the sun all day to get a healthy dose of vitamin D without risk of burning. Just 15 minutes a day is enough, and should stop you looking like Morticia Addams as well. I would consider the natural way. Tina
