Thumbs up

Those are good tips. I downloaded flux a few weeks ago and I'm so glad I did! I am currently trying to figure out why my brain is so sensitive to only certain wavelengths of light, and I'm doing lots of the things you mentioned.

For me tinted lenses have been the biggest help, though the kind I had let in too much light around the lens, I had to make some pretty funny looking blinders for the sides. I have since seen a neurologist who has started me on a medicine that she says may help 'dull' my sensors who are, I guess, overreacting to certain kinds of light. I'm hoping the medication will help. I'm also seeing an optometrist who mentioned tinted contact lenses, maybe that will be helpful, I'll have to report back...seeing him thursday.

I don't know much about PCS. Do they think this light sensitivity is something you will have the rest of your life? That's the part that's probably hardest for me to deal with...... Is it all light that you are sensitive to, or just certain kinds of light. I'm also curious to know if your Drs. had any explanation for why you became light sensitive...I mean you know what caused it, but why did that result in being more light sensitive?

I would love to hear more, to be in contact with someone who is dealing with light sensitivity, and coming up with ways to get by. Thanks for all the tips.
