Hello Fibro-Friends! For those who begin to suffer more this time of year: here's a therapy that isn't a drug and has NO side effects. It mimics the sun's healing rays that cause our brains to produce "feel-good" chemicals. . It's a Broad-spectrum Light and there's a good article on Mayo Clinic's website:starts out : [http://mayoclinic.com/health/seasonal-affective](http://mayoclinic.com/health/seasonal-affective) Amazon and other websites offer all price ranges and types. Desk lamps, floor lamps and all in between. I hope this helps! God Bless !! Shelly (YinYan1124) ---

Thanks Shelly for the great idea, when I worked at the hospital, we had a whole row of x- ray light boxes, old school now, but basically they were light boxes that a dr. Could put up an x-ray on, I would turn all of them on and sit in front of it, lol I may have looked crazy, but it helped ! Hugs ---
