This is excellent news, symptoms coming and going is the first sign that you are getting better!
Light sensitivity still comes and goes for me 8 months after injury, except I just don't like artificial lighting and get sore eyes with computer VDU's. However this is mild compared to what went before.

No problem, you are getting better and it is starting to turn around if symptoms are coming and going. It is still a long road to full recovery and it takes time, but you are on your way to recovery!

Mine fluctuates as well, although recently, it's been pretty consistently bad, but I noticed for example that as long as I'm wearing sunglasses and hat outside, I'm usually fine. Inside though, I do not tolerate light well at all, and I'm particularly strained by light from any kind of screen.

I have recovered my cognitive function, and I've overcome severe vertigo through sensory integration therapy. Wellbutrin has helped me escape depression. I have recently had a few stress-related migraines, as well as headaches stemming from eye strain. I'm also dealing with tinnitus, lack of stamina, extreme light sensitivity, and eye pain. Diagnosed with 9 different vision issues: convergence insufficiency, pursuit eye movement deficit, egocentric visual midline shift, photophobia, visual information processing delays, accommodative insufficiency, saccadic eye movement deficit, lack of coordination, and central peripheral visual integration deficit. *First concussion: October 2010. I was pregnant and got rear ended. I associated my mild PCS symptoms with baby brain and blamed my light sensitivity on allergies and dry eyes. *Second concussion: December 2011. I hit my head on a wooden beam, saw stars but did not lose consciousness, and I had very disturbing PCS symptoms but didn't go to the doctor. *Third concussion: August 2012. I caused a car accident as a result of PCS symptoms. Thankfully no one was injured but me. My husband confronted me, and I finally sought help and took medical leave from work. My symptoms worsened, and I developed severe vertigo. *Fourth concussion: November 2012. I was riding in a car with a friend and we were hit head on by a driver who lost control of her car. I didn't have a big increase in PCS symptoms. |

I was just reading about light sensitivity and how the supplements of Lutien and Zeaxanthin can help with that. I read about this on Wikipedia.
