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
Steph

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???
