I need some unique help.....

OK, some of you know I've been having some rather serious health issues the past few months. Well, I finally have a diagnosis. I have Lupus.

OK, now for the help......in order for me to continue cycling, one issue I have to deal with is the fact that Lupus causes me serious problems with UV light. It causes me to get these huge splotchy lesions under the skin that break open and bleed. This happens even if I wear long sleeves, because UV penetrates most materials. What I need is UV repellent cycling clothes, that are long sleeved, but cool enough for midwestern summers, and won';t make me look like a robed Bedouin on a bike.

Suggestions?
