fluorescent lights

Hi
I have been sensitive to fluorescent lights for years. It has only gotten worse in the past year to the point I can only stay in a store 5 minutes before I really start to suffer. Lights in stores and offices give me migraines, make me tired, trouble focusing, nauseous. I don't even want to go to the doctor anymore because the lights are everywhere. The lights that people use in their homes bother me too, but not as bad. Has anyone experienced symptoms like this? What can I do to overcome this or is there a specialist I can see? It's becoming a big inconvience on my life!
Thanks.

Oh yes, I *used* to be this way -- I'd have to get in and get out of
stores within a few minutes. as those lights seemed to be draining my
life energy away. If you're looking for a specialist, it'll likely be
an "alternative health" type doctor (naturopath, chiropracter) rather
than a medical doctor. You'll probably want to focus on improving
nutrition (via diet and supplements), reducing toxins (both your current
exposures and eliminating accumulated past exposures), and possibly
killing off chronic low-level infections (viral, bacteria, fungal,
parasites), plus you may also want to experiment with
EMF protection devices which may provide some immediate relief if you
can find one that works for you.

I'm no longer bothered by the lighting in stores at all. I don't even
think about how long I'm in the store...other than boredom because my
wife is taking too long to shop!

Some lights put out lots of UV if there is no plastic cover.
Flicker can be a problem, and maybe sunglasses could help.
There are also magnetic fields, and often electric fields.
With electric fields just slight changes in position can make
a difference. I'm starting to think that if one can keep changing
direction and not stand still it might help. But also reducing
exposure at home and B-6 and B-12 can help.

Yes, I suffer with that too. Five minutes or less is usually about all I
can take of it. I have had some luck with detoxing heavy metals though, and
can tolerate a bit longer now.
I hope you have a good Dr. who takes you seriously. My own seemed a bit
put off by my wearing sunglasses in the office and just wrote I'm sensitive
to lights in my chart.
Some stores are worse than others, if they are placed lower, and have
more, and have no cover. Some pet store is like that to me (forget the chain
name) and the other day when I went into Big Lots for the first time in ages,
even wearing a hat and sunglasses didn't help that much, but you can try
that. Try both and see if they help. DEFINITELY the sunglasses!
Sorry you are suffering~
