It helps me. Only 5 mins a go 3 times a week. Be careful though. Some beds and booths are very powerful. But be practiable about your usage small doses three times a week will boost your D3 levels. Don’t for get to use some high quality eye protection. And just be sensible. Take care

Yes, you will still absorb some D3. If you face the sun and sit in it through a window or out side you will re set your body clock, this will also aid a good nights sleep. This is difficult in the dark winter months. But then I use tanning bed. For 5 mins 3 times a week. If you suffer from sad you can buy special light boxes, put one in a room, and it will stop u feeling the winter blues.

Sun is good, even 10 mins a day. Even through a window. I have fibro it is chronic, the sun can re set your body clock. Which will help you sleep, the sun is the only natural form of D3. Ultra violate light is good again in small amounts of time say 5 mins 3 times a week. Tanning beds are very powerful, so extra care is needed. Use a sun screen cream. The higher the factor the longer you expose

I have been working for twelve years in an underground building so, of course, thre are no windows. I take 100,000 IU’s of Vitamin D a week just to get me into the low level of what is acceptable. I had been working there for six years before I realized what it is doing to me. There is no one at work who understands what I’m talking about and it’s so obvious to me.

I am a believer! I have suffered with Fibro for several years and lately I have started using Vitamin D3 supplements but I get out in the sun at least 20 mins a day if possible. I can tell a big difference! Bring on the sun!!

All my life, even before I knew I had fibro I would try and explain to people how being in the sun made me feel like was soaking in a vitamin bath… I could feel how I was soaking up the vitamins I would need for the darker, colder months. It makes me feel so… healthy!

My low levels of vit D is what gave my Dr the Fibromylagia diagnosis for me. I’ve been telling my Husband the only time I feel any relief is when I can lay in the sun for about 20 minutes every few days. It really does help with the pain relief.

I was diagnosed as vit.D deficient ! Have a lot of fibro pain and fatigue ! And I love the sun! But lately the heat in Alabama has been triple digits so I can’t get out there now! The heat takes my energy away! Do tanning beds give Vit.D. I wouldnt think so! Thanks for this article and all the articles.
