Ken.... Flourescent lites can often (not always, but "often") cause me to experience discomfort. Also ceiling fans and occillating (hmmm... is there too many "CCs," and ""LLs?") <smile> can make me very uncomfortable. Especially if the main unit is aimed right at me. Oddly, I've noticed that if I get a reaction from being directly in the path of a fan, thne so does the phone if I'm on it (LOTS of static) and also the radio! Again - static. I know several individuals who have MS who experience similar reactions in the same conditions. For what it's worth...

I am not a scientist, but i do work on electronic devices. I have also heard that a person working under a single flourescent lamp, as oppossed to two or more together, which alters the effect to the human eye, cn have fatigue and mental effects. These conditions seem to affect people who do NOT necessarily have any neurological conditions. I cannot help but believe they could adversely affect PWP's. Does anyone else have any inside info on this phenomenon? [OO] LOOKING FOR RADIOS!
