haha bdhkhsfgk.
I love being outside, and live in blessedly foggy San Francisco, but it still hurts every time I go outside in the daytime. Same with turning a light on in a dark room, and bright lights at night (headlights, stadium lights). My glasses are photo-gray, so I'm fine in a couple of minutes. I get the sneeze reaction too.
I wear contacts when I play rugby, and that is a challenge. Fortunately, it's a winter sport, and I can look at the grass a lot (especially as a lock forward <grin>).
I used to burn really easily, but not any more. I use sunscreen, of course, but even without it I'm a lot less sensitive than when I was young.
I think the eye sensitivity is related to AS, but the skin isn't. But together they made it a lot easier to be a creature of darkness instead of light.
