Is Bad Light Sensitivity Related To Hypothyrodism?
I have very bad light sensitivity. I can t be out in the sun (sometimes even in overcast) without sunglasses or I get instant migraines (also happens with some lightbulbs. Is there anything I can do about this? Also, is it related any way to my diagnosed hypothyroidism?
