That's weird. Please excuse me, I'd like to ask you a couple of questions that come to me : Did you move in the past 18 years, or do you live in the same area?

You mentioned Vitamin D did help, for a short while. Did you try sunbathing instead? That's normally how we get vitamin D.
Are you fat, lean, thin? What ethnic group are you from? Do you know of any genetic peculiarities?
Did you test against various viral diseases? Have you ever had zona, herpes, etc. ?
- savemylife 16y agoI've move several times (originally east coast, Europe, midwest.) I did try getting a bit of sun, yes (15 mins daily is supposed to be enough). White, no genetic peculiarities that I know of. Had chicken pox as a kid, but not Herpes. 160lbs.
- gojomo 16y agoIf you think your health is outside the usual patterns -- and it appears it is -- then you have to lay aside what's "supposed to be enough" based on general rules of thumb. The mild recommendations of the mainstream may be too little, but also you personally might need significantly more sunlight. (Your comment about some improvement with Vitamin D especially draws attention here.) You also haven't described the places you've lived in enough detail to know if you've tried significantly different elevations, rain/cloudcover levels, or lengths-of-day. ("Europe" runs from the Arctic Circle to the Mediterranean.) I recommend playing with extreme values of the sunlight, latitude, elevation, and days-of-sunlight-per-year variables a lot more intensely than you have so far.
- wazoox 16y agoChicken pox is an interesting point IMO. I had chicken pox as a child, and it came back to haunt me as a zoster 20 years later. I think various pox can stay dormant forever, and provoke serious diseases later on.
- gojomo 16y agoDitto on: Have you moved? Especially -- to a place with radically different climate, vegetation, humidity, sun-times? Have you changed careers?
