My husband encouraged me to start early as a proactive measure, and it was a good idea.Mary E.

Well, after this winter I will DEFINITELY be getting one for fall/winter next year.<br /><br />I also take Vit D3 and exercise regularly, but have not heard of the other two things you mentioned...I'll have to check them out.<br /><br />Thanks again! :)<br /><br />Blessings,<br />MicheleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602903563447482631.post-16634594267440194952013-03-29T13:24:53.807-05:002013-03-29T13:24:53.807-05:00Hi, Michele, this looks like the same exact light ...Hi, Michele, this looks like the same exact light that I have. It has done well and I've had no problems with it. I don't use the ion feature, though, because I don't like it. :-) http://www.amazon.com/NatureBright-SunTouch-Plus-Light-Therapy/dp/B000W8Y7FY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1364581073&sr=8-1&keywords=suntouch+plus+nature+bright<br />I found out that you're supposed to start using the lamp as the days get noticeably shorter in the fall, so I usually start using it some in Sept. when I start to feel it. Sometime in Oct. I start using it daily. I'm only using it some days now and will probably stop in April. :-) I would use it sooner in the autumn or longer in the spring if the weather was unusually cloudy.<br /><br />The light therapy has been great. The Lord also gave us a few other things that have helped all combined. I don't know if any one thing would've resolved the issue alone. I also take extra vitamin D3, lemon balm and rhodiola rosea through the winter months, and walking/exercising is a big help too. I really hope some of this helps you! I understand the trial of SAD!Mary E.

I didn't realize how affected I was by the lack of sunlight in the winter until we moved from the mid-west down to the south and then back to the mid-west again. I could really tell a big difference this winter. Is there a particular brand that you recommend?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
