Sorry you had to experience that. It is not uncommon from talking to lots of people in this situation.

I have had to retype this comment many times to restrain myself...calling people who cannot endure "cowards" is shameful and I wish you could see how wrong it is. Yes we should try to stick together and that is a huge part of the

I remember these as the "good scissors" on my grandmother's sewing table that I was not allowed to use. She had several pairs that were passed down through generations, some that predate the famous "orange" handles

I have said this more than once here, and hate how much it defines my life so imagine people might be annoyed by seeing it again, but I have been suicidal for a long time because of medical errors and the ensuing heath/life issues. I d

I'd like to know more about the support infrastructure they imagine. Even if this doubles flight time compared to current commercial quadcopters it would still have a 40-60min total flight time thus less than half that in range. It&#x2

It doesn't just make me sad, it enrages me. I did everything I was "supposed" to and still lost. I usually avoid making any political statements because it just causes fights and solves nothing, but its just wrong how we trea

I am suicidal and have been off and on for years due to disability/pain from medical mistakes that cut my life short at 30. I am 45 now. That led to immediate loss of quality of life, career, financial security...and a slow painful los

I am sure contrast is a variable but overall this still doesn't seem to solve the issue for me. A faint grey pencil on paper is not straining, but even the best contrast displays like OLED are very straining. It's literally again

E-ink has been mired in patent stagnation for a long time. I remember 5+ years ago when the Kindle was getting huge there were rapid increases in contrast, color prototypes like Mirasol that just disappeared etc. I supsect someone bought th

Ok. Regardless of the intuition, staring into a light source feels different to everyone I have ever known that staring at normal objects reflecting light, like paper etc. Someone above claimed that reflected daylight was a lot more nits th

Visual snow could also be to to flickering from PWM, or more likely temporal/spatial dithering (a leading theory in LED LCD based eyestrain but as yet unproven as the cause). Even a white background on a monitor, even a static image, i

I don't think so myself because I don't have pain in full sunlight reading print or E-Ink which is much brighter "nits" than an LED backlight produces ....but even low settings on an LED backlit computer hurt. There is i

It's not that simple. I cannot explain the physics/physiology of it with any authority, but as someone who suffers from severe strain and headaches with LED (and some CCFL) backlighting I can you it's feeling like something t

Me too...E-Ink/Clear Ink/Mirasol whatever I don't care...just something reflective and not an LED backlight shining in my eyes. I am angry the patent greed has stunted this for so long. There is no physical reason we cannot h

I have adjusted distance and font size and every other display parameter I can with no effect. refresh rates seem irrelevant. I use eye drops when needed but have had this dryness issue since lasik surgery in 2000. It's not so bad in n

"Later I learned that taurine transpoters can also transport GABA and I suspect that this might have something to do with it" Can you clarify this? Phenibut affects GABA but above you said, taurine transporters can also transport

I was stating that having to use the available E-ink displays is a reduction in quality of life because they are small (13"), expensive (~1000usd), and limited in function and performance which makes most web activities aggravating due

Tried these and some Uvex glasses that block 100% of blue light (Gunnars are very low % blocking relatively). Zero impact on my strain. I have seen many others state the same. It's obv there are many causes for strain, just wish I coul

The severe issue for the last 5-6 months since trying to use LED panels has been a tingling/tightness sensation around cheeks/nose that spreads to back of head/neck/trapezius turning into pain/ache. If you clench yo

Sorry I updated the post as I knew I would leave some things out as I am a mental wreck and this is long and complicated. I don't wear glasses. I have monovision from Lasik done 20 years ago and am starting to have presbyopia in the di

This or something connected to it is literally ruining my last chance at life but I cannot solve it and there is always a catch. I was disabled long ago by bad surgery and left in lots of pain. My physical career was ended. I was denied soc

Finding something like that was the hope but it's dead. That guy worked in the field before and knew someone at the non-profit so he had relevant background and a hookup. Both of those things, or at least the latter, are required. I ha

While I appreciate the effort, I have been through the SSA gamut for years as I stated in the "novella". I know all about the system and options, and things just don't work as consistently as people believe. Trying to explain

Thanks for taking the time to reply. There is no shortage of good people who would help if they could. Meeting and coming across so many is the reason I am not a complete misanthrope. The problem is the systems and people who were supposed

Hey thanks for replying. I would like to keep that out of public as I have spilled so many details already that one would definitively ID me.

As mentioned in the post the disability option is well and truly done in the USA. It's quite broken system with some with even worse issues than me denied and some with nothing really wrong approved. I played the game incorrectly it s

Hi again. Yes I am positive disability is over and done appeals and all. I have consulted lawyers all along the way and am well versed.

I have gotten all I can from support groups. I know tons of people online with similar issues and it's easily divided into two categories...those with disability/support/social systems...and those without. The former can quit
