That is because one of the symptoms of mold toxicity (and other neuroimmune diseases) is extreme light sensitivity.
I'm starting to get a tiny bit of relief from my years of illness-related vision problems, but I want this blog to be sensitive to the needs of my fellow sick people. :)
Whether you have problems with light sensitivity or not, you should check out the fantastic F.lux app for your computer (also iphone/ipad).

| f.lux: one of my favorite apps |
F.lux adjusts the brightness and blueness of your screen automatically, based on the daylight situation in your geographical location. It can help with circadian rhythms as well as being a balm for those who get migraines from bright light.
It's especially important for anyone who uses a back-lit device late at night, as staring at the bright blue-white light of a screen can mess with your sleep. (Science!)
Personally, I keep the F.lux app open at all times, and adjust it several times a day/night. The settings are super-flexible. I've been using it for years, and it's invaluable to me.
Great to see you posting again -- of course, no pressure!
ReplyDeleteI find using the 'automatic brightness' adjustment on the iPad also helps along these lines.
omg, I just wrote this long, thoughtful comment and it was eaten by blogger. aaargh!
Deleteusing firefox, i can't even comment on my own blog. wtf, technology?
the gist was:
"Thank you for caring! I'm having intense ups and downs but things are all moving in the right direction, a hopeful direction.
And how are you doing??"
Doing ups and downs here too, but today is good, so hey, winning! Hang in there, one step at a time, one day at a time...all advice I try to live, mantra-like. Going over to comment on your latest post as well...
ReplyDeleteI admit, I'm not good at the one-step-at-a-time thing.
