Is it just the sun in Colorado or do you feel the same when not in Colorado.  I have lived in Co all my life and the longer I live here the less I want to be in the sun.  We also have a place in Mesa AZ that we try to visit every six weeks.  I find being in the sun is nothing compared to being in the sun in Co, even when its a100+ in AZ it is not as intense as Co sun.  It sounds like you need a vacation to a lower elevation.

Never heard of that symptom. it's easy to attribute everything we feel to HCV,
perhaps a nice light summer Berka would help! (just kidding)
maybe someone else on the forum has had a similar experience, you never know!

Is the aversion due to skin issues? There's a condition that is associated with HCV that can cause the skin to form blisters, especially in sun-exposed areas. Other that that, I'm unaware of anything in particular. You;'re not very specific; if you care to add detail maybe someone will share their experiences with you.

Good luck--
