While I was still able to drive, I was being treated by a dermatologist and receiving light therapy treatment. Although it did help somewhat, I had to quit when I could no longer trust my vision and ability to drive. Although my dermatologist misdiagnosed me three times before another biopsy said it was sub-cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma. She did try to get an in-home light box for me, but SS would not pay for it. Due to my whole-body condition, I require the full enclosed light box.
So far, I find that although you can live with this condition, it is far from pleasant. I am very intolerant of cold weather as it sets pins and fiery needles sensation in my arms and legs. I am pretty much a recluse all winter and only venture out when temperatures rise above 70. (Sorry for the long note. I guess I suffer from boredom and loneliness too.)
