Question:
Hi, I’ve been keeping a headache diary over the past few weeks per the advice from others in this group since my migraines have gotten worse. One trend that I am noticing is that often I start to get a migraine if I’ve been out in the sun for a few minutes. Its not a long time, but I guess it does not take long to trigger a headache? I’ve also been noticing over the last month or so that sometimes lights seem much brighter than usual, however it usually seems to be sunlight that is serving as a possible trigger for the headaches. Does anyone have any advice or answers as to why all of the sudden I would become super sensitive to the sun or other forms of bright light and is this normal? Thanks, David

I have always thought that very bright light was a trigger for migraine episodes for some people. Perhaps you are one. You now know to avoid bright sun w/out a hat and sunglasses. — Sharon Boring Amabile Wife, mother, perpetual student and frequent volunteer

Two thoughts on this one, from a red head with fair skin who is very sensitive to sunlight . . 1 live in the UK – sunshine is a rare, warming and welcome occurrence! 2 when the Sun does come out, I find dark glasses – whether slab tint or photochromic – make little or no difference, wheras Polarised lenses make a huge difference because they actually modify the light patterns. They are now available as prescription lenses – whether as single focus, or bi/tri-focals or Varifocal lenses in the UK – my Optician["optometrist" to those who live on the other side of The Pond] imports mine for me – from the USA. Expensive but very effective when the sun does shine in UK or when we go to Southern Europe . . tho incidentally I find the problems greatest when the Sun is low in the sky, as it is at these northerly latitudes, and presumably the Sun’s rays enter the eye at a much more direct/unfortunate angle.

Bright lights/bright sunlight are a trigger for me too David. My specs have photochromatic lenses for this very reason! In the summer, the general brightness of the days means I am permanently wearing shades – so I look *kewl* too 
During the winter, when the sun is low in the sky, I need to wear shades as, for example, when driving, the sun flickering through the trees of the roadside verges is a really strong trigger.

So do I 
Past few days have been *glorious* here in Norfolk 2 when the Sun does come out, I find dark glasses – whether slab tint or photochromic – make little or no difference,
The photochromatic are fine for me – they just seem to lower the light intensity enough so as not to trigger a migraine for me.

Fair skin and polycythemia .. and porphyria .. coincidentally … CNS involvement .. finally .. light/sun sensitivity – People with very fair skin tend to be sensitive to the sun’s rays and burn much faster. People with light colored eyes may find that bright lights are more painful because more light is able to enter their eyes, more so than someone with dark brown eyes. There are several medical disorders that can cause sun sensitivity. Porphyria, photophobia, lupus, and xeroderma pigmentosum, to name a few. Medications and herbal supplements can also cause light/sun sensitivity. Among these are St. John’s Wort, Dong Quai, antihistamines, anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, birth-control pills, medications for high blood pressure, and nearly all psychiatric medications. http://www.lionsgrove.com/vamptraits.html migraine headaches – First of all, be sure that what you’re experiencing is in fact a migraine. It isn’t just a ‘really bad’ headache. Sufferers will usually experience visual disturbances such as auras or blind spots followed by an intense pain on one side of the head, usually behind the eye. Sufferers tend to become sensitive to light and nauseated during this time. They can also experience some numbness on the side of the body opposite of the pain. Ask me how I know . No one knows the exact cause of migraine headaches, but researchers have deduced that environmental influences can trigger a migraine. Triggers are varied. For me, migraines usually came after a highly stressful period. For my sister, it’s strong smells. Migraine headaches are also believed to be hereditary, which is somewhat evident by my own immediate family. Of the five members, only my father has not experienced them. Who loves ya.

Biochim Biophys Acta 2002 Jun 6;1571(2):157-66 Metal ions as potential regulatory factors in the biosynthesis of red hair pigments: a new benzothiazole intermediate in the iron or copper assisted oxidation of 5-S-cysteinyldopa. Di Donato P, Napolitano A, Prota G Department of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Naples Federico II, Complesso Universitario Monte S. Angelo, Via Cinthia 4, I-80126, Naples, Italy [Medline record in process] In the presence of iron or copper ions, the course of the oxidation in air of 5-S-cysteinyldopa (1), the main biosynthetic precursor of pheomelanins and trichochromes, was markedly changed affording two main products. One of these was identified as the oxobenzothiazine 8, previously obtained under nonphysiologically relevant conditions, while the other was characterized as the novel hydroxybenzothiazole 9. Besides 8 and 9, carboxylated and noncarboxylated benzothiazine products were obtained by persulfate oxidation of 1 in the presence of iron or copper ions. The ratio of formation yields of carboxylated/noncarboxylated benzothiazines, determined after reduction o f the mixture, was lower than that of the control reaction run in the absence of metal ions, and much lower than that of the oxidation carried out in the presence of zinc ions, in agreement with a recent report. Notably, 8 and 9 were formed in variable yields under different oxidation conditions including tyrosinase/O(2), peroxidase/hydrogen peroxide, and the hydrogen peroxide/or (9E,11Z,13S)-13-hydroperoxyoctadeca-9,11-dienoic acid/Fe(III) systems. Mechanistic routes to 8 and 9 were proposed based on the results of experiments involving in situ generation of labile benzothiazine intermediates. Overall, these results allow to formulate an improved biosynthetic scheme in which metal ions act as critical regulatory factors determining pheomelanin vs. trichochromes formation.

My sun sensitivity is really not that big of a problem for me. I just put on sunscreen and sunglasses. I have been sensitive my whole life. Just born with pale skin. It isn’t any meds or anything I am on. If anything my skin has gotten tougher over the years. http://www.lionsgrove.com/vamptraits.html
Strange source…. not exactly medical info or anything…. A riot to read though *lmao* migraine headaches – First of all, be sure that what you’re experiencing is in fact a migraine. It isn’t just a ‘really bad’ headache.
Please don’t lecture me on what is or isn’t a migraine headache. You don’t know me or my history. I know what a migraine is. I have been diagnosed over and over by several doctors. No one doubts that I suffer from migraines. Sufferers will usually experience visual disturbances such as auras or blind spots followed by an intense pain on one side of the head, usually behind the eye. Sufferers tend to become sensitive to light and nauseated during this time.
DUH…. who are you lecturing here?? I think everybody in here has the basics down… They can also experience some numbness on the side of the body opposite of the pain.
Not always opposite side. My face goes numb on the same side as the pain. Ask me how I know .

That means nothing. You know that no one can decifer that. You have not posted the study in its entirety, and have given us no link to source it from. The actual text of this "study" says nothing about hair. You know that not all of us in here are doctors or med students and think you can dupe us by using some jargonny big worded technical report. You think we will give up trying to translate it and just accept it as truth. I bet you can’t even translate all that gobbledy gook. You don’t impress me. Anyone can cut and paste – it takes real intelligence and knowledge to explain and summarize something.

What exactly do photochromatic lenses do? Are they better than polarized lenses for example? David
photochromatic simply go dark in bright light & light/clear in dim light and varying shades inbetwen as the light changes. For me, they just reduce glare/brightness enough to avoid the light acting as a trigger. If I haven’t got my contacts in, I need specs to drive/watch telly/cinema etc., as I am shortsighted. Having the photochromatic lenses means I don’t have to keep switching from sunglasses to ordinary specs as I go from inside to out and back to inside again. See http://www.thursoeyecare.co.uk/Light%20Sensitive%20Lenses.htm for a pic of the effect of them working.

That’s not really what he is, and he does gently correct me when I refer to him that way, but that’s the easiest way to describe him to other people. He’s a friend and a guide. And I call him Mr. B."
