Default CFL bulbs and headaches

Do the new CFL bulbs give anyone else a headache? I recently changed the one by my computer, and if I stay long it gives me a headache everytime.

I haven't heard anything about that. Maybe it's flickering a bit, either light enough that you can't tell, or it's doing it so quickly you don't notice it. Change the bulb to another and see if that helps. Use either another CFL bulb or an old type bulb.

It is interesting that you bring this up. There are some studies that have shown that CFL lights might be bad for us. For that reason there are some who are trying to get them taken off the market.
