Lights

Hi to all
Does anyone find it unbearable going into shops or places with spot
lights and halogen lights, almost everywhere has them now they are the
worse for me instant headaches, muscle tension and dissiness, and
thats with my sunglasses on and cap, my headaches have not improved
over four years now and there is nothing that i can take for them that
helps, but trying to avoid the lights, which is impossible unless i
stay home all day long with lights really low, its a nightmare and i
don't why i have it this bad, the eye doctor said i have it to the
exstreem, and he has not seen anyone with this amount of sensitivity
to light as me, don't understand why it effects me so bad, i can't
work because of it, and i want to work and do so much, but i can't,
because i get really ill from it.
Its a shame there is know help for us out there, they say its not life
threatening, but to me it feel like it is, my life is crap and im in
constant pain.
Sorry if it a bit depressing.
Michaela
