Can anyone help?

Ever since I started college, and this may sound weird, I've had a sensitivity to light. I get headaches, under fleurescent (spelling) lighting. I squint, despite being able to see properly through my 20/20 contacts.

Often, more than not, I spend my time in darkness. Or, at least, with a little nightlight on. But, I get these headaches, when lights are on.

What is this?

with the fluorescent lights ONLY?  Not outside in the sunshine?  The fluorescent bulbs are probably not flashing fast enough and you're about to have a seizure, get the fuck outta that room!

Yeah, but migraines can be cured. These only occur when lights are on. And I feel like a vampire, because I read in the dark. I got so used to night reading, so to say, that my eyesight is better at night, than during the day, without my contacts, and, sometimes, even with.

I know you're not supposed to read in the dark, and stuff, but I do, and it actually feels good.

I hate this, b/c everywhere I go, there's lights. :P I can't escape the light. I don't want to, per say, but I can't stand the headaches.

No, it's not just with fluorscent lights. But it's worse with them. I wear sunglasses, outside, even if the sun is just peeking through the clouds.

And, no, no seizures.
