fluorescent light sensitivity

[viking84]

Over the last several years I have become very sensitive to fluorescent light. Constant exposure indoors to fluorescent light results in severe dizziness and a general weak feeling that on one occasion caused me to faint and fall with injury requiring hospitalization and monitoring a subdural hemotoma on the back of my head from the fall. I limit my time in stores and offices to avoid these symptoms.

[lightsensitivity]

The same thing happened to me.  About 2 years ago I had a seizure. 5 days later my eyes became sensitive to light where I needed to sit in the dark for 4 weeks.  They put me on migrane medicine, which helped, but did not stop the light sensitivity. I have been tested for epilepsy, all eye medical conditions, MRI's, MRA's.  They have determined I have high blood pressure which "spikes"on occassion.  I have had every blood test in the world and all comes back fine. I do have hypothryroidism (for about 15 years).  They have tested me for all types of rare diseases. At times I have fainted, with no warning except feeling dizzy.  I have been to the best doctors and no one can find a cause. I am hoping someone has some advice or have experienced the same symptoms
