Sunlight

Hello. I was diagnosed last year at the age of 72 with ‘indolent’ MS. This followed many years trying to figure out why the power in my right leg was dwindling. I am not on any treatment yet but was sent, by a medical friend, a copy of an article in Scientific American about the benefits of exposure to the sun or just a sun-ray lamp. It sounded terrific. Does anyone have any information/experience of this?

I’m guessing that at least in part the benefits come from Vitamin D synthesis. Here in Scotland everyone is encouraged to think about taking Vitamin D supplements ( it can be very cloudy here and weeks can go by with little or no sunshine)
