#visualsnowsyndrome — Public Fediverse posts

Today I read a comment on X from a guy saying he has visual snow syndrome and that his whole family has it too. Scrolling through the replies, I realized it’s way more common than I thought… man, what an awful condition.
So, when they do a 3D render, even if they use denoising it doesn’t make any difference? #visual #snow #syndrome #visualsnowsyndrome

Have you heard about visual snow syndrome? Do you suffer from it yourself? Did you find a treatment?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_snow_syndrome #vss #visualsnowsyndrome ... is an uncommon neurological condition in which the primary symptom is visual snow, a persistent flickering white, black, transparent, or colored dots across the whole visual field.

I really do have a hell of a combination to ensure my head hurts a lot.

1. I have #tourettes which comorbid comes with #migraine like headaches that are caused by suppression of #tics if I do it too much, essentially my nervous system overloading.

2. Constant neck/shoulder strain from dystonic tics that make me subconsciously tense my shoulders.

3. #visualsnowsyndrome which has actual migraines as an extremely common comorbid condition.

Where's my ibuprofen...

Doing some more research into #visualsnowsyndrome I came across a video that accurately shows it pretty well minus the night blindness.

This is how I see the world, anyone else?

It is so strange realizing new things with yourself in life. I seriously thought this was everyone.

I just discovered I have a new condition:

#visualsnowsyndrome.

Here I thought everyone saw that way, like TV static across everything but RGB.

So far we are up to:

#tourettes #adhd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #cptsd #asthma #insomnia facial neuralgia, peripheral neuralgia, #synesthesia, just being plain eccentric, and now visual snow syndrome.

Whatever made my soul must have hit the randomizer.

Does anyone have strategies to make reading easier with #VisualSnowSyndrome ? Screen settings or lenses or other things to try? I have so many things I want to read, most of them on electronics, but it's so much harder and more tiring than it was before having snow. I also make more typing errors than I used to cause I can't notice them as easily through all the visual noise. Please consider boosting on disability mastadon or medmastadon!
