Reaction to the sun?

Figured this was as good of a place as any to ask if others have a true reaction to sunlight....

I rash... I am so freaking itchy right now it is driving me nutty!

I rash only for the first few months, after that I burn. but been a long long time since I have been forced to go outside often/long enough to burn.

*hugs if you want them*

p.s. aloe with lidocaine is heavenly!; ▶ Reply to This

I was using 70+ during the Gathering, and still got blistered..sigh..but it was well worth it to be out amongst so many fine people. I can't thank everyone enough for the help that they gave..and for the memories I will cherish always. :); ▶ Reply to This

Eat raw biodynamic butter or raw fresh unpreserved blood from pasture grazed ruminants. You might soothe your skin too by applying unpasteurized grassfed kefir to it, better yet a cold bath with it. Honey can also be helpful. My body has run most of the gamut at times from even five minute exposure. I'm never burnt anymore or get any of those things thanks to what I've learned, but I occasionally still get a headache during daylight hours even indoors with the shades drawn.; ▶ Reply to This

These yolks have the Vitamin D you are being prevented from making from the sun, that this rashing is causing. If you can tolerate and find raw tree/vine ripened citrus fruit or grassfed adrenal glands, that's the best way of getting Vitamin C to help you use the D that might be made via sunlight. For me, it works better to eat sufficient raw (yes raw) meat, to get uric acid to work as a Vitamin C-like antioxidant in my body. I tried vegan and vitamin C became more than useless for me.

Is your skin doing better?
