Thank you so much for the green light info! I have been accused of being a vampire and a cat because I seldom have lights on in my house. I walk around by the light from the tv. I might have to start wearing baseball caps too. When I used to work, I had the fluorescent light above my work station turned off ( light bulb removed) and brought in a low light lamp from home for when I needed a little more light to see. Everyone knew it was a migraine day when I was working with my dark sunglasses 🕶️ on.
I had no idea about the green light. I know that lights must be off during a migraine episode but didn’t know about needing the consistency of low lights, dimmed LEDs (which are bad for all of us) and no fluorescents.
haha-- it's season specific, so the allergy is active in spring and summer. the light sensitivity is year round but worse in heat an sun. i relish the cold dark months and generally live like a vampire. there is specific sunscreen for my allergy but i still don't go out in the morning and cover up as much as i can, walk on the side of the street with shade, etc. it's a huge pain in the ass!

fwiw, I believe there are cheap green light bulbs on Amazon if you want to give it a try! I have a norb relief bulb in one of my lamps.
It sounds like you're the next Joan Didion!

I have a sun allergy and am very light sensitive so I feel you!
So are you wrapped from head to toe when outside? Does it depend on how sunny the day is?
