<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We are a support group for people with sun and light sensitivities. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Our members live in nations throughout the world. Founded in April 2006, we are proud of having hundreds of SUN1 members. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace: none;">

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Join us. Living with extreme photosensitivity can be frustrating or depressing. Family and friends often don't quite understand what we go through, so sharing experiences with each other can help us cope. Sharing our knowledge, wisdom, suggestions, and problems can make a world of difference in our lives. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sun sensitivity may appear as bad sunburn or rash. Reaction usually occurs after a very short amount of exposure time. Some people experience an immediate reaction and others react after a delay. Sun sensitivity can be due to a primary medical condition, side effect from medication, or reaction to product ingredients. Other terms for sun sensitivity include: photoreaction, photoallergic, photosensitivity, phototoxic. Diagnoses include solar urticaria, lupus and other auto-immune conditions, porphyria, sun hives, polymorphic light eruption, sun allergy, and other light reactive conditions. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We share our day-to-day experiences and ways of living with sun sensitivity. SUN1 is a place to feel comfortable exchanging ideas, discussing concerns, and asking questions.</span></div>
