I came upon some interesting news reports and blogs about the effect of the energy saving bulbs and several medical conditions. People with lupus are reporting going into flares from the bulbs. I was shocked to find this out after spending the winter in my chair next to one of these bulbs. I quickly removed this bulb to see if it would help. I was thinking anything that would help, I’m willing to try. I’ve spent most of this past winter in one flare after another with the lupus.

Then I started to dig even deeper about the affects of these bulbs. They are shown to cause migraines, epilepsy seizures, dizziness, lupus and other autoimmune flares, and other medical conditions. I could go on about the affects of these bulbs.

Some people with lupus are photosensitive and have reactions to the sunlight so it only makes sense that we would be affected by these bulbs. Time will tell if I start having fewer flares together or the pain decreases because of these bulbs. Not everyone is affected the same way by these bulbs. But when you live with chronic pain you’d stand on your head if would decrease your level of pain.
