Oh man...my eyes have been killing me for several days now! They are ultra light sensitive! Yesterday was worse than today...I had to wear sunglasses in the house! I feel like it won't be long till I become a creature of the night! Do any of you have this? Could it be associated with Methotrexate?
Yes, It is part of Sjogren's.
Artsy,
I don't use methotrexate, so I can't answer that question. However, I do have severe light sensitivity, so you have my sympathy. Restasis has helped my dryness a lot, which has helped the photophobia and the pain.
I also ordered some sunglasses that I wear any time I'm outdoors. They are Spectrashield by NoIr. I bought them in 10% strength, which I thought would be way too dark, but they are wonderful in bright sunlight, especially for driving. I'm anxious to try them out in the summertime sunlight.
I understand the vampire metahor. The past 2 days have been cloudy/rainy here, and I'm as happy as a clam!
Best wishes,
Cheryl
LOL! I know right?! I live in Florida which is just great for photophobia. But alas today is cloudy and rainy! Yippee! Thanks for the info re the glasses. Ive been using regular sunglasses and they are certainly not cutting it!
