I'm so baffled/scandalised by the fact that apparently schizospec do better with around 5hrs of sun exposure - per day? Per week? Idk i couldn't find the timeframe - yet many of our meds make us more sensitive to the sun's rays (photosensitive?)

As usual with Nerfed Google, and since it's a schizospec problem, i can't find ANY source detailing/examining/discussing this contradiction between our pharmaceutical treatment and our needs, which i find kinda bullshit - esp. as a very pale ginger-gened schizospec in New Zealand. Research on this needs to be conducted like yesterday!

But yeah please don't take this as a sign to go off yr meds, trust me if your doc/healthcare prof said so then you need them. Just saying we deserve better. Better drugs lol. I am regularly frying like a lobster after just 15-20 minutes* in the NZ sun on these meds and it's not ok? There must be a way to make them not make us sun-sensitive (i believe it is bc they thin the skin which also sounds not great)

Anyone else on the spectrum constantly getting sunburnt??

#*with sunblock!#but maybe i need to reapply it after 2hrs like it says #it's just awkward to have to go “ok soz guys i need to stop working five minutes early to go to the bathroom apply sunblock”#and it's frustrating when people get mad/annoyed at me for not being able to arrive early anywhere I'll have to wait outside #like there's such an inadequate amount of shade around here it's so hostile to people with skin #even the lovely Birman/Himalayan/Ragdoll neighbour cat looks like it has sunburnt ears!#we even lost the childhood cat to cancer from the sun!#partly why i didn't appreciate the fashion post i happened upon the day that was trying to make sunburn “sexy”#sunburn is so effing serious in NZ!#the NZ and Australian sun alike are not to be fucked with #we need more consideration for sun-sensitive individuals!#it's almost like its own disability. “sorry I can't go outside i will burn almost immediately”#also heat - not to mention sunstroke+heatstroke - makes schizospec worse so like I'm curious how being in the sun can rly help overall?#yes i know vitamin D but like the net (gross?) positive benefits when you do the calculations (if theyre even quantifiable in numeric form?)#sorry my verbiage can intensify on bad days hence i need sleep #i also use Bondi Sands facial sunblock on my face so i thought it would be effective sunblock as i think it is Australian #and AusZealand-made sunblocks are supposed to be superior/the gold standard #but idk maybe i should switch back to the Cancer Society sunblock if i can find it in packaging that is portable in my bag #i am ever a pedestrian/sans car #schizospec #schizospec problems #harsh New Zealand sun #New Zealand sun #cancer mention #schizospec in the sun #actually schizospec #sunblock #UV rays #Australian sunblock
