I am still having problems and I am wondering if there is any other help available for people who suffer with hives due to the sun? I try to apply sun block and stay covered up, but if I go swimming this is hard to do.
My problems are made worse if I am out in the sun and I touch plants (weeding the garden). I have many environmental allergies as well.
t know if it was the combination of swimming and the acne regiments that he has been doing, but now he has developed a sensitivity to the sun just on his face and neck. He describes it as a HOT frying pan sitting on his face the minute he is in the sun. It alters his mood because he is in pain. He has stopped swimming, stopped using any acne regiment, skipped any fun in the sun this summer, and sits in the dark.
He has been diagnosed with a mild rosacea, is negative for lupus.
Not unbearable but bad enough to see a dermatologist who told me I am alergic to the sun - stay out of sun and wear sun block. I stay out of the sun. It is five years later. I went to a second dermatologist who took a biopsy of one of the itchy bumps that have become a new symptom. She told me I have a drug alergy and I should have my primary physician change my medications. I told her the only drug I take is lorazapam.
I have also had many tests to make sure the retina is not torn, etc. My doctor has been very thorough. However, I have sun sensitivity in the eye with the pvd which I am told is " normal, " sometimes. Can someone give me some insight into this? Should I be concerned, more careful to wear sunglasses, and so forth.
My son wears contact lenses since years, He always had trouble with bright light or sun( even when he was only wearing glasses) ,; with bright light or sun he has a hard time to keep his eyes open and at time can not see because he feels the light too bright even if light not that bright ( and his eyes also feel swollen at that time) My son says it is getting worse with years.
Hello, I have sort of an odd thing that has been going on for a couple of years. Every time I go out in the sun for a while I get really nauseas and weak. Headaches sometimes occur, but not as much as the nausea; my stomach gets really upset and sometimes I vomit. Yesterday it was a nice sunny day and I was outside for about a half hour and it happened. It lasts through the next day as well and is accompanied by even more weakness.
t typical reactions from Copaxone. Sensitivity to light makes this sound more like a migraine and the combo with neck pain might indicate a tension or cluster headache. Have you had any of these before? Of course any headache can make a person want to close out light and the world.
I'm afraid you'll have to persist a bit and see if a pattern develops. I'd hate to see you give up on Copaxone after waiting so long for the opportunity to start a disease modifying treatment.
I went on vacation three months into tx and have been a sun tan person my whole life. First day in sun within an hour I got little red dots all over and they itched!! Stayed out of sun unless I had on light clothes. I asked this question when I got BACK from vacation! LOL. Someone suggested child's strength sun block after I mentioned smells make me nauseas. Be careful.
The swelling has mostly disappeared, however, a blister still remains on my upper lip as well as some sensitivity and numbness. (FYI three clear blisters formed while my lips were swollen but all have healed except for one). Wondering what this might be and if taking Benadryl at this point might still be helpful?
I was just searching about Yaz and sun sensitivity. My summer has been pretty bad with trying to stay out of the sun. I get little raised bumps and then it itches. What about you?
She says my legs are spastic on exam, my gait is completely out of whack and combined with the MRI and my complaints, it all fits. She thinks I may have had RRMS for 20 years. In the mid 80's I had a sudden vision change (from 20/75 to 20/400) in a matter of a couple of years, thought I just had crappy vision :). Anyway, I have had odd "episodes" off and on since then. I always had a rational explaination for whatever was happening.
