Need wearable flourescent light protection advice..

Just recently I've been noticing how much flourescent lights are
affecting me when I'm about 6 feet beneath them or less. There are
many places I can not avoid this situation, like at the doctor's
office, the animal vet, my kids school, etc. I don't seem to be
bothered as much when the ceilings are high like at most large chain
stores.
It's embarrasing and uncomfortable because some symptoms are obvious
to everyone around me, like when my face heats up and turns bright red,
or when I break out in patchy hives over my face, arms, hands, and
neck. The headaches seem to subside after I've gotten away from them a
while though, so that part's not so bad. I live with headaches almost
constantly anyway. I mostly just want to stop my body's visible
reactions.
I need some suggestions on wearable devices that I can take with me to
block some of this nasty stuff assulting me from the Flourescents. I
know different products seem to have different results but any personal
experiences would be greatly appreciated. I was thinking of trying a
Springlife Polarizer but am not sure if it may help with the lights.  
HELP???

For me, the Quantum Companion is my choice for dealing with fluorescent
lights. All of the Quantum Products reduce the reddened skin I get
around fluorescent lights and computers. I don't usually recommend
the Companion because it is expensive, but for flourescent lights
when I'm out and about I really haven't had much luck with anything
else:

I even find that I overdo the Quantum Products, my skin becomes too
pale, so I try not to overdo it. I adjust my usage of these products
so that my face is neither too red or too pale.

But no, a Springlife Polarizer all by itself doesn't seem to help
my reddened skin under fluorescent lights. They may even make
your skin more red (which makes them a good addition if the use
of Quantum Products is making your skin too pale!)

Oh, P.S. If you do decide to buy a Quantum Companion, they're going
to ask you what color you want. I'd suggest avoiding the translucent
ones, as the plastic is not as sturdy as the black/white models. I've
had a black model that's held up perfectly well for 7 years, while
I bought a second translucent model where the battery cover broke within
months.

Aluminum foil under a hat may help. It actually depends on
the type of fluorescent tube etc. Dark glasses might be worth
trying. Veil-sheild (from lessemf) over a hat is probably best.

LessEMF sells a hat which could help--(it helps me) but I wish it was better
engineered.

I thought I was the only one with this problem - I'm posting from the UK where we have a chain store called marks and spencers and at first I thought I was allergic to their stores - I'd look at my face in the changing room mirror all red and blotchy and was horrified - and then I noticed that when I went shopping anywhere I'd come home and get the mother of all migraine headaches [but good news out on that front today - it means I have a 30% less chance of getting breast cancer - oh lucky me!!]
 
I try to stay out of shops as much as possible - I am going to try some sort of in pocket protection thingy to see if that makes a difference.
 
Take care

No. I own several different items from Quantum Products,
but the mat is not one of them.

It is for me -- for me, the Q-Link doesn't seem to do much at all,
while the Quantum Companion is quite helpful. The downside of
the Quantum Companion is that is appears breakable (although
after 7 years, I have not yet broken one), and it also requires
batteries. Although I use rechargeable batteries, and I only
need to recharge them about every 2 weeks (although I don't
have it turned on 24/7)

Note that I can think of two other effective ways that I've reduced
my skin redness under fluorescent lights -- one is taking a good
antioxidant supplement. I find that H-Minus from e3Live or
Amrit Abrosia tablets from MAPI both help reduce redness. Both
of these supplements advertise themselves as being 1000 times
stronger than Vitamin C or E (although they are completely
different supplements)

Also skin lotion -- I've found that Shikai Borage Dry Skin
Therapy lotion and also Burts Bees carrot day cream to help
reduce the burning sensation.

Also I'd try activated charcoal, as it might help.

All of those skin reactions are probably due to an overloaded liver,
so anything that helps take the load off your liver should reduce
the redness. I'd even try a few drops of grapefruit seed extract
(Agrisept-L is what I use), as this is known to slow down phase
one detoxification pathways plus is an antioxidant, so it could
reduce symptoms.
