having moved to extremely sunny australia i can definitely say that more sunshine helps and that it isn't a cure either. I've heard from a lot of pwp that they feel better as soon as they step outside.
Just confirming what someone else has said.I lived in Australia for 6 months last year and my PD symptoms were much better controlled and i could walk and do a lot more.Being out in the sun defintely helped significantly.Having been back in the UK for 6 months,I notice the difference.
been a cloudy day or two here on the new england tableland (so called because of the rocky outcrops that look like cream teas) and i can report feeling a bit ropey.
fortunately it will get sunny again on sat,sun, mon, tue but still a wintry 14 - 15 degrees.
dont forget the cod liver oil for rainy days.

A spokesperson for the passengers said, 'Australia is the 'In' continent, and we feel we can contribute to that.'
