Registered User Posts: 18 12/10/07 3:42 PM	Remove this ad I think, that my visual symptoms get worse, after I drink alcohol, or work on PC. I'm not sure about it - don't you have any other experience? Col8B Last Edited By: Col8B 12/13/07 6:11 AM. Edited 1 time.

Because of that, it has to be a very good glass of wine to tempt me. As for the computer, I have the same effect from reading printed text. I think its the strain from simply reading, however like other people on here have noted, the type and quality of monitor for the computer work does also make a difference. Need to cheer yourself up?

As for alcohol, it doesn't have any effect on my visual symptoms but it does make my tinnitus roar...then again, it makes me care less about either. It's nice to take a vacation now and then....wouldn't want to live there.

But its looks like my PC screen or Laptop or whatever is sucking all the energy out of my head. When I wake up in the morning my visuals are not so noticeable, but when i go behind my computer its al starting.

Hard to say anything about VDUs, because I rarely go a day without using one. "So far, I had not opened my eyes. I felt that I lay upon my back, unbound. I reached out my hand, and it fell heavily upon something damp and hard. There I suffered it to remain for many minutes, while I strove to imagine where and what I could be. I longed, yet dared not to employ my vision. I dreaded the first glance at objects around me. It was not that I feared to look upon things horrible, but that I grew aghast lest there should be nothing to see."

I don't drink, but for me extended computer use makes my vision somewhat blurrier but i see no noticeable difference in the visual static. Also noteable is that when a TV is on, tinnitus seems to be mutch more "sharp" like the electric buzzing of the TV is on the same frequenty.

Posts: 1496 12/14/07 2:46 PM Administrator	Hmmm... I think it all depends on what kind of drink and what kind of game. Nothing worse than when your drink clashes with your video game. Its like a wrong wine pairing. Sorry, I haven't had breakfast or lunch and I'm going silly. Need to cheer yourself up? Watch the Kitty Cat Dance!

Registered User Posts: 18 12/16/07 11:50 AM	Hmm... I like LAN parties very much. It means, that we come somewhere, and drink and play PC games whole weekend. It's super, but then, my sight is very very bad :-/ Col8B

Regular Visitor Posts: 465 12/18/07 5:41 AM	I am almost certain that sitting at a computer all day has a negative affect on VS. Or at least our vision in general (making us short sighted). I also get the snow more intense when I'm hungover or if I feel ill. So whether it's the alcohol directly or not, I'm not sure. I have a cold at the moment and my VS is quite intense and vision blurry. Stuffy head, 2 very painful mouth ulcers (1 right at the back of my mouth connecting my cheek and gum), tooth ache, blocked & sore nose, blocked ears, reduced taste & a chesty cough. And last but not least blurry vision and visual snow. Woohoo. lol.

Of course his grandmother says the same thing. Finns. I've just had a non-stop minor cold that won't go away. The champagne I had with brunch Sunday didn't help either. I don't remember what my vision was doing. Need to cheer yourself up? Watch the Kitty Cat Dance!
