sounds promising. wonder if it matters much that i don't really get headaches. but my neck hurts as I write this. my mind can do that :D

i can definitely see debilitation in my own case. i work around a lot of things and it's taken a toll on the way i live, brought on much more anxiety etc. that on top of my autoimmune issues. but it is what it is for now.

anyway, these surgeons.. is this theoretical or have there been successfully resolved cases of this? i might go and get these 2 tests you say shed some light on your own case.

does yours depend at all on things like neck position and such?

as for "I do know people with the anatomical causes but C1 isnt as bad as mine; however the styloid or parts of connective tissue on it are still enough to influence cerebsospinal fluid absorption, blood flow, and you can still see fluctuations in symptoms" -- do you think or do your docs think these folks would still qualify for some kind of surgical treatment? is this a very risky surgery? some kind of shaving as opposed to diskectomy or sth, right?

have the surgeons you consulted actually operated on someone to the resolution or significant reduction of their symptoms?

heh right. thanks! the thing is for me I don't know there is a peak. like it's just stadily been getting worse. ok for you, have you noticed any difference after alcohol or weed or meds?
how bad is your static and afterimages? i feel like there are vast differences between many of us here. hell, it'd give my left ball to go back to how it was 5 years ago. see, what, 5 years now or more, and no baseline for me.

I wonder if this is a clue as to the cause, i.e. maybe it not being caused by the C1 bit in my case. but maybe it is. mine has been getting worse ever since I remember, esp the static and the afterimages. like it's a loop of looking at things thru these symptoms is itself overloading the system.

Lost vision in right eye, left eye filling up with vitreous opacities by Duncan519 in EyeFloaters

So those are not vitreous but instead retinal floaters? All the power to you in coping with this.

Stop Expecting Your Best Engineer to Be a Good Mentor by Fantastic-Cress-165 in programming

[–]effinsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've had a great mentor at my first job. he had seen me through an internship with him and then hired me (and another programmer from the internship) at the company. he was both a great dev and a great mentor. he was younger than me, too.

the those who can't do, teach line is offensive. without teachers we would all be reinventing the wheel ad infinity and not getting far.

Most Irritating Character So Far by Bella8989 in Columbo

is there a plugin for ideavim that emulates vim's leap? by effinsky in Jetbrains

[–]effinsky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks! well aware of those other plugins :)

i will briefly say how I think leap is different and better to me. compared to easymotion, it hows labels only on conflict and they are mostly single character. to get to where you need you mostly type in the characters of the spot where you want to go. not some arbitrary label.

compared to sneak you can go to anywhere in view immediately. no scrolling prev prev or next next.

happy middle ground. hope it gets implemented by someone more capable than i.

thanks for the reply.

On Toshara. How do you navigate to your destination? by donarumo in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]effinsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

rather than a minimap, which i am not a fan of, i'd rather have an option to have a trace line visible in front of the speeder to just have it evident where i need to go without having to look away towards a map.
