I hope that you're doing better and it may already be obvious, but I wanted to express that although the quackery joke was also inspired by your comment, it was not to mock you, but to mock the quacks, who would only have false "solutions" to offer...
Then, since it's somewhat related, an update about the aurora borealis: although I was incidentally in the suburbs for a few days, where in some areas it was very visible, I could see very little, because the area I was in was too lit. For the spotlights to be out of sight, I had to be between buildings with little sky visible. Some "rays" were faintly visible right above, but I couldn't distinguish their color. And my friends were sleeping, as it was late at night, and I didn't dare to go walk alone to reach the river at 2am without a proper flashlight.
It's around 19 years ago that not too far from the the same area, I really could witness it, inadvertently. A friend couple had just purchased a house in a developing area, and it was still very dark at night there.
I was back in the city yesterday night and it's been too clouded to try to see anything for the second northern lights night. The light would likely have been a problem again anyway...
