Todd, I have a lot of trouble with the sun, but it is largely from heat, as I react terribly to overheating.  My eyes are also crazy sensitive to the sun, and I pretty much have to wear sunglasses all the time outside.

If you're not getting too hot, I would say try getting some very dark shades and see if protecting your eyes helps at all.  Also, you may *feel* cool with a cool breeze or some such, but it still might be warming your body temp enough to have a reaction.  You might consider actually spraying yourself down with some cold water or drinking a very cold drink to maintain a lower body temp.  (I find a glass of ice and lemonade really helps me when I'm starting to react from heat.)

As for soaking in the sun in the window during the winter, it doesn't matter if you make Vitamin D from it or not, I find it still feels good and is helpful for maintaining your mood.

Hope you can find some way to make this work for you...

I'm a bit worried about using sun tan lotion as it might be a trigger. What does everyone else use?

Thanks.

I bought a similar product from here in the UK.
