B2 and light sensitivity

Hi

I was wondering if anyone might have any ideas on vitamin B2

I suffer from really bad sensitivity to light both sunlight and inside especially computers TV etc

I have read that people find B2 supplements help with this and also that amitriptyline which i take daily lowers levels of B2 so this could possibly adding to my problem

I am so desperate to get rid of this one symptom as it really does affect me in every aspect , does anyone on here have any knowledge of B2 and also a recommended dose

Thanks in advance

Sensitive to everything, light, noise, stress, cold, heat, standing up. It's all too hard to live. But we do, none the less. Hope you feel better, and me, too. Love, abby

Interesting. I was on amitriptyline too and super sensitive to everything. I'll have to look into this further. I have taken B50 liquid supplements and that did help. I also started taking B12 shots as my hair was falling out so bad, brittle, peeling nails and had no energy.

I'd like to hear more about this too. I have found that taking a B Complex vitamin every other day or three seems to help my energy levels.

I don't take it daily because back when I first got diagnosed with my immune deficiency my doc told me to stop taking vitamin B as my levels were high....but now with the fibro as well I am pretty sure I see a difference.

Be careful when supplementing with vitamin B. If you do, please ask your rheumy or neuro to check this level constantly. Too much vitamin B, which I had, can cause severe pain and that burning pain in the feet and legs.
