New research shows that people with MS are more likely to suffer new lesions in the Spring and the Summer (April and August specifically). This is due to a combination of heat and radiation from the sun.

So lemme see . . . we are supposed to get a lot of sunlight for the beneficial vitamin D effects, but also stay out of the sun because of the heat and radiation.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. It's one of the most common symptoms of multiple sclerosis.

My neuro told me he saw more flares in spring and fall, due to the change of seasons fucking with us. Who knows?

How about the irony of the birth control I'm on making the MS worse? Is that enough irony for this post? ;-)

Well, on a positive note, just think how much worse it would be if you got pregnant :)

That's not positive, that's scary! ;-)
