I was going to try and make this particular poll go a bit longer, but I think we’ve all heard enough about fluorescent lights for now. 18 out of 19 people who responded have some type of adverse reaction to fluorescent. They are obviously not good for people who have lupus. I think we knew that already. About the only thing I have learned from this so far is how to spell fluorescent.
We don’t have any fluorescent light in the house, with the exception of the kitchen, which has these four rows of those banks of bulbs behind plastic translucent sheets. One of the things that I would like to do, once there’s money to do so, is to tear those out and install some incandescent down lighting.
On another note, I wanted to say thanks for those folks who have supported the site by using the amazon links (you don’t have to purchase the stuff shown as long as you start your search through the link) and those of you who check out some of the cycling advertisements. It’s pennies here and there but they do add up. Thanks!
The rheumatologist suggested that my wife move off of Cellcept, which she had been taking for some time now, and move to a similar type of medication called Azathioprine, or Imuran by brand. Azatioprine is pronounced (aze-uh-THIGH-oh-preen) by the way. I have no idea why it matters to me, but I do like knowing the correct way to pronounce these things.
