Chronic migraines bothered by the new cfl light bulbs? ?

Question

Do you have chronic migraines and do the new cfl light bulbs bother you and give you more migraines? I have chronic migraines and am on daily meds for them... since changing all our light bulbs to those new cfl with the mercury, ive had more and more and more migraines. I took the cfl's out of my work room and went back to regular bulbs... is anyone else having this issue???? Ive heard they cause alot more problems than just this too....... and our govt is nice enough to make it LAW that all old light bulbs will be no longer for sale come 2012.... im starting to stock up on the old ones.. Is anyone else having this trouble with the CFL's????????

Answer 1

Your right on the money, go to Google and type in

Energy-saving bulbs can cause migraines warn experts..

You will come up with an entire page of warnings about them.

I am stockpiling also, but you know the light bulbs do age, and we may end up having to use the darn things. The technology is just not perfected yet, for the energy saving bulbs. And people with Lupus, Epilepsy have trouble with them also. It kind of feels like big brother is trying to take over our lives.  I do not feel that it is right that all the TV sets have to be changed in Feb. 2009 either. The new energy saving light bulbs must have a good lobbyist.
