Bigskyfam Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 First spring with POTS and was outside for 20 min in the sun and swelling oh my. Took off my rings. Went into the shade. Going to research the forum. Please add any new info you can share. Until then I'm inside or on shaded back porch drinking my h2o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katybug Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 If the sun affected you that much, you might look up porphyria (sp? ) and see if you fit the symptomology and should talk to your doc about it. There are other things that can cause reactions to sunlight although I can't think of the names off the top of my head (thanks, brain fog.)

Becia Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 I have that, but I'm on so many meds that I can't be in the sunlight. I'm so crazily pale, lol... I love the outside, it doesn't love me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueskies Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Quite a few meds can make me hypersensitive to sun -- adding to my intolerance of the sun -- I have found. Thing is some meds make me burn very quickly. My pharmacist is my best source for this info when starting new meds. If it wasn't for being flushed most of the time I'd be pale as a newborn baby. blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
