Why, oh why are we getting rid of incandescent lights? They don't make anyone sick like fluorescent lights. I just spent a woozy, too hot hour or so in the commissary (military grocery store) because I had to have my coat and hood on so that I would be at least somewhat protected from the awful unshielded fluorescent lights. They make so many of us sick.

 

I am happy that at least we have the income to stockpile incandescents and I will= lots of them. I have no problems with LEDs but they don't have them in all sizes at all. But, for the meantime, I think I will insist that if my dh wants to save money, he can go commissary shopping. I will stick to stores with covered lights that don't make me sick.

Fluorescent lights have always had a serious effect on me, so much so that it interfered with my schooling. I hate detest and despise them. I have always had certain stores that I just can't shop in because of my sensitivity. I'm sorry you're dealing with it too!

Fluorescent lights give me grand mal seizures. :thumbdown: Even the compact ones. As you can imagine, I'm not a fan. Though it does make a handy-dandy excuse when someone gets snarky about me being a SAHM. Once I remind them that I can't be around fluorescent lights or computers for more than an hour or so before the auras start, there isn't really much they can say.

I never realized they gave me headaches until I quit working when I had my oldest. Miraculously my migraines all but went away. Then I realized I worked in florescents all day, every day. I wear sunglasses now. They help; I just look weird and think of terrible 80's songs. (I wear my sunglasses at night, so I can, so I can....)
