Same with me, i always feel better when i am in the sun and warm, the warmer the better. Spring time is always a good time for me after a long cold dark rainy winter. I love sauna’s and hot baths too.

Nicola said: I do know that the thyroid has an easier time in the summer, so that could explain things. People taking replacement thyroid hormone need less in the summer than in the winter, and generally feel better all round - better mood, more energy, warmer etc. Thyroid levels and the immune system are inextricably linked, so your immune system might be fighting the candida more effectively in the summer. Vitamin D and the sunshine also help the immune system, so that could be playing a part too.

I agree with Nicola's words wholeheartedly. Your thyroid controls your body temperature, keeping it at the appropriate temp, the warmer you are, the less work the compromised thyroid needs to do. Why is it compromised? Mercury is certainly a big factor, but there are many other pollutants and toxins than can affect it, which in turn influences our quality of life.

Glad you are feeling better Bann…<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dance.gif" alt="" />
