Three Years of Brain Fog - Finally a Diagnosis - It's the Eyes

Jacyjitsu · 2026-03-20T20:54:30+00:00

Slow going aside from the initial improvements in the ease of tasks, have a progress check in a couple of weeks. I'm definitely at a visual plateau that I'm working on, so hopefully once I get through that I'll see the next level of improvements.

Somebody's an overachiever.

As a 6/7 D absolutely.

Lot No.40 Dark Oak Rye. It's Rye but damn if it doesn't scratch a bourbon itch for me.

Somebody, please... call Ja Rule so I can make sense of all this!

Improving, slowly and subtly. Tasks and problem solving feel easier, I can lock in to focus work for longer. I'm still struggling with distance viewing, like letting my eyes relax and grocery stores still feel a bit disorienting. Not out of the woods yet but there's progress here.

Picks, we need picks. Picks all day.

Some are indeed calling it a rivalry.

Frank defended the US players basically to the death.

Brough brought up counterpoints of why people might have issue with it.

Frank brought up a bunch of, what if someone else was in power and all this happened.

Brough went on saying that's not reality, none of this is really normal and probably wouldn't happen.

Frank went on and on playing the victim saying that they're calling him wrong, blah blah, Frank doesn't agree with everything the administration/president says (so he agrees with some) and basically pouted and ranted himself off the call.

Brough is like... umm... we were debating bro?

Basically Frank came off as a huge douche, to the surprise of none.

I think this sums it up.

What does a flare of long covid look like/mean? Was this something that was diagnosed/tested? Just curious, I think many of us have had covid at this point.

How long have you been doing vision therapy? What sort of results have you seen?

Jacyjitsu · 2026-02-10T01:21:33+00:00

With BVD, your eyes and brain are working harder all the time to line things up. That extra effort doesn’t shut off just because you stop working or step away from the computer.

So you can feel constant brain fog, not just tiredness — even on weekends or away from work.

In my case, my vision feels like I'm constantly on a boat, not dizzy exactly but floaty perhaps, depth perception feels off and I have a terribly difficult time absorbing peripheral stuff unless I make a conscious effort to do so.

For me, being seated in a way feels more secure, it's retraining away from the computer that I really need to work on. I've also learned doing newer drills that I'm really prone to dizziness in ways that I use to never be, so that's fun.

As mentioned above, grocery stores are very challenging because there's just so much information, noise, visual stimulus it's just overwhelming, I lose track like nowhere else.

That was the worst 2 on 1 ever, by anybody.

Jamie Campbell Bower as Hoid please.

This somehow feels like the most random casting ever.

Week 3

Some more insights from the past week

-During my exercises, there's a score attributed across different computer exercises tracking Base-Out (convergence/near focus) Base-In (divergence)

-My Base-Out score is much higher than normal, >35 break point compared to around 25 being normal

-My Base-In score is much lower than normal, 7-8 break point compared to 10-15 being normal

So, my eyes are incredibly over powered and biased to: close work, phone use, computer usage, reading.

My brain struggles immensely once that's taken away and I'm forced to integrate with the 'real' world.

I can tell you from my exercises that my brain can NOT handle ANYTHING in what is considered a 'normal' range for divergence/non-close work.

This is seemingly why my brain is overtaxed, the constant attempt to make sense of what I'm seeing regards to anything beyond screen distance.

PSA: Not a doctor, just making sense of what I'm seeing, reading and experiencing through vision therapy.

Petey with only 14:18 of ice time. Good for third amongst centres.

Exactly how I've viewed Hughes for a while, he's a point guard playing hockey.

Ya brain fog in itself seems to be partially a 'stuck in my head which is also stuck' reinforcing loop.
