Question:
Hi all, I have just gotten word that I will be made an off for a job in Boca Raton, Florida. This is really scarey for me. I want to knwo if anyone else knows of any good docs down there for lupus patients with fibro. I have been consulting for 5 years now and this will be a real, permanent job. I need this kind of security for my family, but I also don’t want to get sick on the first day of the job. So advice would be welcomed. thanks, Cheryl

Cheryl, I can’t answer your question, but I did want to ask you if you have considered the increased sunshine in Florida. Living there and vacationing there are two different things, but everytime I go south of the Panhandle my photosensitivity increases. I live in Georgia so I didn’t think there would be that much difference! Just something to consider.

I have realized that the move to Florida will also include a move into more intense sunlight. I am already a "vampire" so I don’t think I will have too many problems. I avoid the sun as if it were the black death. Unfortunately, I have a very active 4 year old and I know it will be hard to keep her in the house, especially when there is no snow to contend with in the winter. I guess I will have to invest in a sunblock company so I can get free samples! ;-} Cheryl

Hi Cheryl! I live in the Tampa Bay area and have for several years. I have just started having photosensitivity problems in the last 6 months. Coincidentally, I also have a four year old who really likes to play outside. Here’s what I do: We only go outside before 12 and after 3:30. I never play out in the sun with him. I have a hobby area set up in the garage and work on stuff there where I can see and hear him. I also have a fenced back yard where he can play and be in earshot from the house. I wear sunglasses outdoors almost all the time. The only other real issue I have right now is the sun on me when I am driving. I’m going to get a long sleeved shirt to keep in the car for this problem. Unfortunately, this is the worst time of year to move down here. It will probably feel horribly humid to you. However, the other 9 months of the year make up for it, IMO. Best of luck, Jan CAC <tekri…@my-dejanews.com> wrote in message

I’ve been living in the Tampa Bay area for 22 years and, believe me, it is livable. I seek shade when
outdoors, wear plenty of sunscreen and hats, and still have a nice life in the Sunshine State. When
driving, I wear sunscreen on my arms, hands and face. No problems if you are careful and remember
just how strong the sun is. Don’t forget those sunglasses!!! -**** Posted from RemarQ, http://www.remarq.com/?a ****- Search and Read Usenet Discussions in your Browser – FREE –
