I live in Scotland, which along with Canada is an MS hotspot because of the lack of sunshine. It can also be really cold. But I still try to expose as much skin to the few minutes of sun when I can. Apparently there's only so much Vitamin D you can get per day for any part of the body no matter how long it is exposed to the sun so you need to find a way of getting some all over daily exposure if possible, which can be really difficult. I take supplements as well though. But about ten minutes fully exposed in a hot country at noon can get you all the vitamin D you need for that day. I live in a top floor apartment so I open the window to my living room and sunbathe for an hour at weekends when the sun swings around.
I forgot to mention that Flax seed oil has the highest ratio of Omega 3 of any oil (also called linseed oil). I mail order mine and keep it in the freezer until I need to open it then I store it in the fridge. I use it instead of margarine or butter on my bread, or on my potatoes.
I occasionally take vitamin B for the fatigue / brain fog, (also experimenting with occasionally also taking Vitamin K, calcium and magnesium) and that seems to help. But lots of daily exercise does seem to be the best thing that I have personally found so far. My husband often complains that I have too much energy now when I am dancing (badly) around the kitchen. I'm considering giving up wheat and seeing how that goes. When I first moved back to Scotland and before my diagnosis I was permanently exhausted all the time.
You too keep fighting Atlas. It's good to hear how other people are coping because I don't personally know anyone else with MS.
