There's no doubt that Photo Sensitivity can increase with age just like a lot of other challenging issues do & mine increased post-Fibro Diagnosis but not sure if that's directly linked with it or not. I have to have my spectacle lenses tinted because of it just to take the edge off.

Yes that's what I mean, we need one for sure.

There should be a 'Hug' Emoticon available on this forum, I reckon we all need one & I would have used it a lot.

Oooh, that would have made me cry too, hugs.

It is of some comfort to know that others with Fibro are experiencing similar emotional/psychological reactions, so a sincere thank you to everyone who have expressed such feelings as it isn't easy to speak of. I was diagnosed with FMS 13 years ago now but even after diagnosis I previously...

As regards TV, my sensitivity has now got to the point that despite 'self-editing', even some trailers for future programmes &/or adverts can cause me discomfort and I suspect seeing disturbing images etc may even be connected to the nightmares I seem to be getting prone to. Am even considering...

We seem to be kindred spirits. I have to be very careful what I watch on TV too, as I'm so emotionally open & vulnerable, so have to 'self edit'. I've described it as metaphorically having no skin on. Am not sure if it's Fibro-related, an age thing, previous traumatic experiences taking their...

I confess I have to struggle sometimes to keep my Inner Child inside & am finding the older I get, the more I seem to struggle with that, or maybe I'm just approaching my dotage lol.

Thank you SBee, I'll keep that as a reserve option but I don't have a Sainsbury's anywhere near me & not sure if I'd risk it, as being prone to adverse chemical reactions I've been advised to use only unbleached/Bamboo so it's specifically that I need to source, though not having any success so far!

Thanks SBee. I asked yesterday about Bamboo Toilet Paper in the Ripon branch of Holland & Barrett which is quite a big branch but just got a head-shaking "No, sorry" in response. I'd be really grateful if you'd let me know if you ever do find it anywhere in the 'real life' shopping world...

Thanks for checking that out for me. If anyone here in England want to give it a go... Holland & Barrett sell Coconut Oil & I can confirm that it gives instant relief.

I wear a bangle with that prayer on so I can read it whenever I need to but nevertheless, I still have a go at trying to change things & then comfort myself with the words 'God loves a Tryer!' :)

I can highly recommend Coconut Oil for pain etc, it's miraculous how it instantly works but hadn't heard or even realised that White Toilet paper adds to the problem, though I had my suspicions. I'm not an online shopper as I struggle with Tech so can you/or anyone tell me if I can access/buy...
