Since March 2013 I've had some light sensitivity and migraine headaches - but some of the MS problems lessened, so I'll wear my dark glasses and migraine medicine. Actually those side effects have reduced to only rare occurrence. I joke about wearing the dark glasses, and make sure to wear the ones with rhinestones.
