Light Sensitivity
We may all be whooping with joy at the prospect of the clocks changing and a little more sunshine coming in to our lives but spare a moment's thought for Brenda and John Ryder this weekend.
Brenda suffers from a rare form of light sensitivity – which is connected to the disease called Lupus. Her condition is so severe that Brenda can’t go out in daylight, she can’t even glance at a ray of sunshine and her life is dominated by the need to keep away from the light.
Brenda's support group for light sensitive people is called Eclipse. They expect to have their own website soon but can be contacted through .
