hello, ive just recently been diognosed with Graves disease and CFS and had horrible light sensitivity with mainly fluorescent light which triggered off my Graves. A trip to the supermarkets were impossible because would make me violently ill afters my throat and neck muscles and thyroid swelled up. But found out that taking Ibuprofen or any anti imflamitaries for the neck pain and thyroid pain, that this is one of the side effects for people with Graves.
Stopped taking Anti imflammitaries and my light sensitivity eased bigtime i still have to wear mirrored sun glasses out and about but better with other lights ie Telly, monitor and sunlight. I really feel for anyone who has Graves, its changed my once happy life to a shambles(always teary). Not sure if i blame the doctors for throwing many tablets wrongly diagnosed like Penicillin, anti depressants, antibiotics and anti acids for suspected acid reflux because ive had a sore throat for 10 months and counting,but knew this were rubbish???? These all weaken the immune system so got virals which triggered off my Graves.
I Hope this helps for you.
