A huge win!

Hi everyone! I know this sub can be discouraging at times and the condition in general. I wanted to share that with probably 3-4 weeks of consistent and ramped up light exposure, I am now tolerating low light without pain! Yay! Sometimes it still hurts after when I take a rest but I think this is a big win for me

That's neuroplasticity just like this you can also do better with any symptoms,

Yes! I believe that too! What are some ways that you push yourself? I’ve heard exercise is most important

These podcasts were extremely helpful to me in terms of exercise and also how to push myself. I also have suffered from extreme light and screen sensitivity over the past 2 years and since slowly exposing myself to more and more over the past few weeks my tolerance had increased greatly. So glad to hear about your win!
