My Posting Place

meme's aside John has a point about the FDA being slow as mallases and hair cell regeneration most likely will reduce tinnitus
 
Why so serious and easily shaken? Don't take it so personally. Ey please don't play the victim card (to the equivalent of "I'm done with all of you, goodbye, good luck.")


It's not like that at all. I have to remind myself sometimes that I am wasting my time by posting here. I don't feel like a victim; I feel like my time is wasted and that there's nothing to be gained from my interruptions. I point out the double standards by holding up a mirror because I find it ironic and quite funny that I'm accused of all the things they are guilty of.

It's best for both parties that I just stop posting here, and I'm sure they all agree. It's win-win.
 
I'll just stick my oar in the water - I came to respect TFF and Contrast, even though I did find them militantly against more therapeutic attitudes in my early (idealistic) days, when I got conned into thinking that 'habituation' was a reality.
I offered to 'piss off,' but TFF said 'there's no need.'
I respected that.
I kept posting a brainless 'palm tree,' and saying that research addicts were 'horizon watchers.'
Generally made a complete "ARSE" of myself.
But I came to respect prettywell everybody's point of view, with the possible exception of anybody who underplayed 'severity and suffering.'
John Adams I always take seriously.
I have nobody on my 'ignore' list.
I need to read even the dissenters, otherwise I wouldn't know who to join battle with. (hahaha).
I hope we all have at least 'a half way decent' day folks.

A quick reminder of me being a complete 'arse'ole' - a transparent attempt on my part to dismiss my own degree of suffering.

What if @JohnAdams & company ran rampant in all these discussions without you and some other brave men there to challenge them?
What exactly is wrong with my posts and who is this "and company" you speak of?

And why do I need to be challenged and what makes my "challengers" so brave???
That they accuse me of things like inventing words and then run away like cowards when I ask for an example?

What a ridiculously bizarre post this is.

i always read about vitrectomy horror stories, not sure why they don't talk about lasers

Laser surgery generally has a bad reputation (worse then FOV) and in most cases it will only make the floaters a little smaller, but won't remove them

I described mine and how they effect me on another floaters forum, and they generally agreed that laser is not the right thing for me.

I know at some point I will undergo one of the two procedures though. Floaters will get worse with age, that's a fact......and I can't handle them when they get worse then now......at that point I will be willing ro risk my sight for them to get removed or diminished considerably.

oh i see
well that's a shame
is there anywhere where you can read more on floaters research?

For the record, FOV is a lot safer now and getting safer. The reason it still has a bad rep is because it used to be much worse. The risk of retinal detatchment now is very very low.

Yeah, I also think that's when I wanna go for when the time (and money :D ) comes. Plus I have choosen one of the best doctors who work in Belgium: professor Peter Stalmans, who is one of Europe's leading retina specialists and have been doing FOV surgery for years now.

job hunting now so I can save up $1200USD to buy this
I'll also throw money at research


now that I think of it, I do need a powerful computer if I ever get into video editing working with hd video files.

Intel UHD Graphics 620, psh lol.

why do you want such a fast laptop? video editing?

If you're editing video, you need a good external monitor or a laptop with a larger screen.

I know that.

I have an external monitor. It comes with an HDMI cable I believe, I need a good laptop for portability if I ever travel.
 
By the way, hedging my bets now. Kelpiemsp did not sign an NDA and he's gonna pop on the site in the next few days with an update.
This is my guess. Let's see if I'm right.

Eye floaters don't bother me. Sometimes I see flies. But they're not flies, they're dark speck floaters. Those squiggly lines I've had for years, the flies are new. None of it bothers me.

However T is driving me crazy. No one is touching my eyes. But my ears? Go ahead an stick a needle in there with fx322 if it is proven to work. Couldn't cause any more damage than I already have. Or could it? To me, because I'm already suffering, it's worth the chance.
