minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink16•2 years agoYes, take some vitamin D if you get this too. I’m more active outside now in the winter so I don’t need as much, but the vitamin D does help.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink6•2 years agoI have to agree, it bothers me every year, but I take a high dose vitamin d supplement, make sure I get out for an hour at least at lunchtime, also bought a wake up light alarm which helps in the mornings
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•2 years agoBasically every westerner has a vitamin D deficiency, as we don’t spend all day long outside anymore. So go get some D prescribed, because deficiency accelerates dementia and a whole slew of mental disorders. You could spend lots of time in the sun to alleviate the D vitamine deficiency but that’ll get you skin cancer instead.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•2 years agoIn Europe you can’t just buy any medication like that over the counter (not in France anyway), and yes I guess it’s also about cost.

How does that work? One giant suppository?
