Since I've had Fibromyalgia my eyes have been extremely sensitive to light. I pretty much wear sunglasses most of the time but recently I noticed some changes when I'm in the sun. I've spent pretty much every summer in the sun and I naturally have dark skin and tan easily. My 3rd time in the sun this summer I got a really bad sun burn which was weird bc I can't even remember the last time I had a sunburn. I started using sunscreen and even with the sunscreen I notice I have a redish tan. Yesterday I forgot to put on sunscreen and I wasnt even in the sun that long but I got sunburn over my tan which was really weird. I started googling and came across something called Medication Induced Sun Sensitivity. The medication I'm taking falls into this category. Has anyone else ever heard of this or had this problem? When I woke up this morning the redness went away but it feels like my skin is crawling and it hurts to the touch. I had to wear yoga pants to work bc it is the only thing I can stand wearing at the moment.
