I think I am sensitive to light during an attack, but it's hard to tell with all that damn pain. I know that during a headache I have trouble keeping the eyes open--I think it's because the right one (the side of the pain) wants to close because of the pain, and the left one just wants to close because the right one is. But then once my eyes are closed it feels like it gets worse, and I need to open them again. It's a very cruel paradox!
Anyway, I believe I am sensitive to excessive light during an attack, and I also have wondered if my first daily exposure to bright light is a trigger. But, like I said, with these things it's sometimes so hard to tell HOW I am affected, I just feel AFFECTED.
