Any person who suffers from migraines knows that CDLs increase the risk of getting one. I would bet she had the bulbs changed to incandescent bulbs and the lights dimmed in order to reduce the risk of a migraine. My daughter gets migraines and can’t handle the light from the curly bulbs.

You are extremely right! The “new” swirly ones actually “pulse” light. You can’t pick up the pulsing but your brain does. I know one migraine sufferer who has purchased CASES and CASES of the old fashioned light bulbs for this same reason. If it is a trigger then you simply eliminate any trigger that you know about. IMHO, she is probably doing what her doctor has recommended and this isn’t any different to me then a person reducing their salt intake or taking a vitamin.

That’s interesting, and also worrisome as far as Bachmann’s ability to campaign and serve. Do we really want a leader who is so sensitive?

If she’s that environmentally vulnerable, her migraines may be more debilitating than we first thought, and perhaps a disqualifier.
