Interesting. I had similar symptoms like migraine/brain fog, stiff neck and muscle tension as soon as October (winter in Central Europe) came. Tested for Vitamin D deficiency and had super low levels. Since taking supplements I feel good in winter for the first time in probably 5 years. I'm also a very outdoorsy person, so getting enough sun is not always a sure way wo have high levels of Vitamin D.
- jerf 4y ago"Sun" is definitely not sufficient. Vitamin D synthesis requires UVB exposure [1] and that plummets to effectively zero in the higher latitudes in the winter: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5037520/#sec3-nutrients-08-00533title https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5037520/#sec3-n... By "higher latitudes" I mean considered on a global scale; continental Europe is effectively all at these "higher latitudes".
