I'm glad to hear you finally got a cloudy day in Calgary. I'm still waiting for a cloudy day here in Sacramento. It's been sunny every day for the last 8 months; if I had known I was going to develop photophobia, I never would've moved here! All my friends on the east coast tell me it's always raining and cloudy. They're complaining and I'm thinking it sounds wonderful!
I was actually born in Canada; and my mother is from Calgary. Yes, it does sound like the cause of our light sensitivity is different, but it's the same end result. No more casual strolls around town on a sunny day. Did you get your vision checked again and will you be seeing another ophthalmologist? Thanks for the tip about the dimmer switches; that's a good idea. I don't go out much either these days. But you're right, I need to stop feeling so self-conscious about wearing sunglasses indoors when I'm out somewhere. Who cares if people stare or what they think? I'm guessing most people don't notice or really care anyway.
Anyway, I understand the need to vent to someone who understands this bizarre problem. I'll send you a private message with my email. Feel free to write me anytime. I could do a little venting myself, I'm sure.
Take care and here's wishing you more gray, cloudy and overcast days.
