Members weighed in on whether the sun helps with MS symptoms, with most agreeing that heat is the real enemy, causing fatigue, nausea, and skin reactions for many. Several members shared personal experiences, including trying bee sting therapy and spending hours outdoors, only to find little to no improvement in their symptoms. A recurring theme was that while sunlight can boost mood and vitamin D levels, those benefits must be carefully balanced against the very real toll that heat and direct sun exposure takes on people living with MS.

@A MyMSTeam Member the reason why is because when research was originally started many years ago they only did studies on women of Northern European descent , so they didn’t have any men or people of other races in the studies . Obviously, over time they realized that was incorrect.

@A MyMSTeam Member you are correct, it’s wild because at one point MS was considered a disease for white people . Now it is known that black women have a 60 percent higher chance of developing it . 🤷‍♀️

Maybe for some people. Sunshine definitely helps mood for sure , but I think for most of us the heat is the enemy.

@A MyMSTeam Member I heard about the bee sting thing . It is true that people will try anything and everything to heal and I don’t blame them , it’s worth a shot and in some cases it works . Have a great day !
