kight sensativity??....lets compare notes

I must have a fair sensitivity to light, after I am  in front of the window on my computer, I start to feel worse, my head starts to hurt worse...etc
After being in the light for sa short amount of time, my head starts to hurt worse at the base of my skull and moves forward to ontop of my eyes...

These head pain, do not feel like the typical headache.......this is head pain, not a head ache.
  I believe my symptoms get lots worse due to light.

do any of you guys, or gals, have similar effects??.....russell

Ever since it snowed here, I've been wearing my sunglasses around the house because when I walk pass windows the sun reflecting off of the snow gives me really bad head pain, too. Sometimes head pain bad enough to cause nausea. Especailly if I'm all ready have a bad symptom day.

I also always noticed the halos of sunlight, when inside.....

My eyes have been hurting, on top of them from this headache, I would assume, I have had this same headache for months now, so I could just be noticing things.....lol...thanks for the reply

Hi Russell...yes many of us r sensitive to light and we make typos too....lol....no worries.

I always noticed a problem in sunlight....and then I would notice if I was inside looking out and then turned and looked inside....I had a flashing effect prior to the HA setting in.....

There r so many things that can trigger ur HA's...and u seem new to all of them.....and u can also have eye pain and u may want to see an eye dr to check ur eyes out as they can be under pressure and cause some damage to ur vision.
