For light sensitivity, I found blue googles which are actually UV Shield glasses that many with vision problems use, very helpful to me as I also suffer migranes. Another person has found plum to be helpful. The goggles are made by a company named Noir and can be found in the Maxi Aids catalogue. ( I can't recall if there is a hyphen in the web page name but try www.maxiaids.com ) The person with whom I coresponded had said it would be great if every ambulance had a pair of plum goggles available for epilepstics so that ambulance personnel could use them for epileptics when they answer a call for seizures. He said is going to the president of the Bronx, NY and then to Mayor Bloomberg to present his idea that all the ambulances be equipped with Noir plum glasses. Les
