Light Sensitivity
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone wear tinted glasses due to light sensitivity? Is this part of fibromyalgia?

I suffer with the lights and have reactive lenses which automatically go dark

I wear reactions, lenses that go dark as the light outside goes brighter. Bright light is so painful in my eyes. Loud noise hurts my eyes. Strong smells either make me sneeze or gag. I am so hypersensitive. I think a lot of us are. My body doesn't tolerate certain foods or medication. HTP5 was recommended to help me sleep. It made me high as a kite and had the opposite effect on me. I use Hypermellose eye drops for dry eyes. I have dry eyes and dry mouth. xxx

I don't wear sunglasses but I have noticed the light bother me someday. I am see a eye right now for real bad dry eyes.

Thanks everyone for all your responses. I have to wear glasses with red lenses in them. It's horrible. I've had them for nearly 3 years now. I hate them and my confidence is at ground zero. Imagine starting a new job and have everyone judge you because of something you have to wear on your face to see properly. Never mind getting to know me, people are quick to judge and avoid. Soul destroying.
