Nope, it's not just you! It's a pain literally, every time I have to go out driving on a sunny day. It bothers me indoors as well. Seems like I leave the lights off more often than not lately. When my son turns on the bright overhead in the living room, it gives me a headache almost immediately. I'm prone to migraines as well, had about 4 of them in the last 10 days, so this really doesn't help!
Alot of people also seem to be sensitive to loud noises as well. They bother me a little, but I can handle the noise a bit better than I can the lights.

Sorry to tell you that it's something we gotta live with, but at least you know you're not crazy or alone! :)

Are you crazy? Well, that depends: during this trip from town with shades on and eyes closed, were you driving? Ok, some days I'm just not funny. But seriously, I do have this problem sometimes, but not always.And as Shelli said, loud noises as well. Never had a problem with scents until today, my son-in-law brought me a scented candle, knowing I love them. I put it on the table beside me, unlit, and within minutes I thought my head would explode. Finally realized that might be it, moved the candle, and the headache is almost gone now. Aren't we lucky to be such sensitive people? Anyway, I'm sorry for your pain, and hope you feel better. Nothing about this disorder makes sense to me, but we aren't crazy, though what we have to put up with could drive us all insane. hugs

The sunlight bothers me too. I had my glasses tinted to where they get darker as the sunlight grows brighter. Also, didn't see you mention this but the headlights on cars coming toward you or in rearview when driving at night. And if they have them on bright, geez, I could get in an accident do easy that way. Really bothers me ! The noises bug me too. Man, talk about crabby. This afternoon at a potluck after church all the babies & small children making their normal kid playing noises or crying, eeekkkk. I felt so guilty too b/c I love babies & I know there's really not much mom can do, other than what they were doing. Also, if anything clangs, dings or I guess semi high pitched, I just wanna run from the room & find a quiet respite somewhere. Is it just me or does anyone else have these.
Hugs

I notice some light sensitivity, however not to the degree you have it. But, from what I have read, it is not all that uncommon. Since I do not personally have that one to a degree that I need to take extra measures, I do not have any real solutions for you. Hope someone on the this site does. However, I did want you to know you are not bonkers, that light sensitivity if one of those things that Fibro gives us. Why? Who knows? And some people end up getting migraines with it. So, no, you are not crazy. Prayers and hugs.

You're definitely not nuts...unless I am too!! LOL I have the light sensitivity...have had it a long time. I get teased about wearing sunglasses on cloudy or rainy days, but the glare gives me an incredible headache.

My eye doc says he has never seen anyone's eyes react so quickly and strongly to light as mine do. He has even has to use a different med when he dilates my eyes because the times they used usually med, my eyes stayed dilated almost 2 days!

Even indoors, I try to not use a lot of lights...family says I can see in the dark!!
