Hi
I too am very sensitive to the sun and yes I burn through the windshield of the car.  My Rheumatologist told me that it was due to the Lupus, because I have had sun sensitivity since I was a little girl.  Even as young as 3 or 4 years old I would sneeze terribly out in the sun.  My mother use to get ticked off at me, because I never wanted to go outside and play when it was bright and sunny.  Shoot I would get such awful headaches and downright sick from the sun.  Flourescent lighting affects me the same way and this all happened before I ever started taking any Plaquenil or was even diagnosed with Lupus and Sjogrens.  I wonder if any of you with Sjs also have problems with flourescent lighting.  I am just wondering.

Hugs,
Kathy
