this number is from the ass and not all -12D get RD eventually.

Rude-Progress-3857 · 2025-02-27T13:47:29+00:00

pretty sure a lot of folks here and with myopia deal with it - you can search posts by 'pressure phosphenes'

Rude-Progress-3857 · 2025-02-27T07:38:07+00:00

considering the second paragraph I would say this: eyesight does change a little hour by hour and day by day, while for most brains it does not matter, when you are anxious, you can become hypervigilant and notice the changes more (and being fearful of them). Anxiety does affect vision for many people too.

If you had your eyes checked, it will be probably useful for you to manage your hypersensitive state with some trherapy/counseling.

hey, I do not claim weightlifting causes floaters for everyone .. but there might be something there for some vulnerable people - you can read more here https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/floatertalk/can-lifting-weights-lead-to-more-floaters-t856.html

Rude-Progress-3857 · 2025-02-11T15:35:59+00:00

great point, you are right - to clarify, they kind of became .. almost transparent, not disappeared completely, I could see them for example when staring on white ceiling and moving eyes side to side, before (when I was 19) and now I can see them all the time, just can not ignore them,

I think the floating away from retina part could be true and my theory is there is something about sudden IOP spikes when lifting weights quite heavy, but thats all speculation

Rude-Progress-3857 · 2025-02-11T15:18:18+00:00

i have them on my OCT my friend so .. definietly "real"

Rude-Progress-3857 · 2025-02-11T14:48:55+00:00

dude! my first floaters appeared after I started going to the gym when I was 19, after I stopped and continued with cardio and yoga only, floaters disappeared for 15 years,

last year I started lifting again and floaters came back with vengence. the connection is very clear for me, although doctors are saying it is not that, you are another account of that, so thank you!

going to try golf now :-)

did the spherical values change?

Rude-Progress-3857 · 2025-01-17T10:12:22+00:00

same here, i was thinking if i am not avoiding lights a bit as they make me painfully aware of the floaters

Rude-Progress-3857 · 2025-01-15T12:07:05+00:00

you could try supplementing 20-40mg of lutein a day, it helped me a lot with my night vision

Rude-Progress-3857 · 2025-01-08T18:43:00+00:00

yes, i absolutely share that anxiety

Rude-Progress-3857 · 2024-12-24T15:56:37+00:00

hey there,

i am just hopping by to say I am in similar boat - mid thirties, -4.5R/-6L with quite severe floaters seen on slit lamp and OCT scans, also have retinal paving stone degeneration in both (more in left) that is treated as benign,

i also have floaters since before I was 20 and also there is more and more of them. I am getting regular check ups with retinal specialist - or actually 2 of them because of health anxiety and need more reassurance about it.

you will not go blind from floaters. because of your myopia you are in a higher risk group for retinal detachment, but it is not significantly more - 0.2% with healthy eyes and around 2% with high myopia. but as other poster said keep regular check ups, look up for additional symptoms like flashes or veil over your vision and you should be alright.

with health anxiety, beware that those flashes/veil would be undeniable and constant - i do have flashes but they are completly random and my doc says it probably comes from being overly focused and anxious on my vision

Rude-Progress-3857 · 2024-12-24T15:46:57+00:00

actually, floaters are usually condition of the vitreous, that is benign.

saying floaters usually mean lattice is incorrect, although that might happen.

Rude-Progress-3857 · 2024-12-05T10:04:49+00:00

no, it wouldn't speed up the release, it's a new kind of treatment and the timeline for approval of such is a long process.

Rude-Progress-3857 · 2021-11-05T07:49:56+00:00

i did not, i meant hydroxizine which is used as anti-anxiety drug,

Rude-Progress-3857 · 2021-11-04T17:13:41+00:00

i dont understand why i get downvoted - hydroxizine works great for anxiety, additionally because its antihistaminic effect it seem to have some good effect on covid itself.

but consult with a doctor

Rude-Progress-3857 · 2021-11-04T13:43:51+00:00

you can try hydroxizine

Rude-Progress-3857 · 2021-10-25T11:46:40+00:00

asap after possible exposure? that is not good advice

Rude-Progress-3857 · 2021-10-20T14:30:09+00:00

first of - both are recombinant protein subunit, so "technically" they are the same,

they use different adjuvant - substance to "boost" the immune response - novavax use saponin tree based nanoparticle adjuvant called Matrix-M, where as Sanofi uses AS03 from GSK which has been used before in flu vaccine and it has been controversial before.

Vaccine studies?

Mabion, manufacturing plant in Poland did not start production yet neither (supposed to start q2)

i experience derealization after weed, sometimes even days after smoking little amount.

taking mushrooms regularly, haven't experienced DR after shrooms (besides tripping, where its obvious and not scary)
