Problems when not in the sun

Hi when l sit in my conservatory, l make sure l am covered in factor 50 sun screen, and clothes that cover most parts. l then put up my husband large fishing umbrella, and sit under this. sounds crazy but at least l can sit knowing l am safe. otherwise l get a bad lupus flare, and skin rash everywhere. I use an special UV lined umbrella when l go out ,you can buy them at Umbrella Heaven on the computer. hope this helps x x

Hi Margaret

Glass does not offer any protection to the sun, unless it has been treated and has a UV filter, so basically you are sitting in the sun and should take all the precautions that you would take if sitting outside in the garden. Sad but true!

Thanks for your replies. I should have realised.

I think the blinds will have to stay shut, and the roof does have a special treatment.

Still prefer sunlight even if I do stay inside.
