      Hey, to give you an short update to come back to my theory. During the nasal septum surgery a chronical sinusitis was found and also removed. So this fact is maybe really a thing, cause some of you also mentionend problems in this area.

        I've had bad TMJ problems for years. There isn't much I can eat. After MRI last year it was found that my left TMJ is locked and the disc is slipped in the right TMJ. It needs surgery.

        When I open my mouth my mandible moves diagonally and deviates heavily to one side. It's pretty messed up. Caused me a lot of ear problems too.

        Hello again. Nearly two months ago I had my nasal septum surgery with additional removal of a chronical sinusitis. I'm still no fully recovered yet und moreover another small surgery is necessary to remove a synechia (Gewbebrücke?) in my right nose.
        Yesterday I've tested Samsung 4k 40 inch 6079. Still eyestrain (but not so heavy) and dizzyness. Didn't know if acclimatisation process or same problem as before.

        what's TMJ? I grind my teeth all the time. Dentist told me I was losing the sharp part of my fangs when I was a teenager.

          ctsai89 You're TMJ is the joint where your jaw meets your skull. Everyone has one (well, two actually)

          TMJ disorder is when the nerves in that area become pinched/inflamed and cause issues such as bruxism (grinindg teeth), referred facial pain, and other issues.

            I cant believe noone has commented on OP's statement that he is planning to get brain surgery to fix this!? amygdalectomy? is that done through the nose?

            Jerry at 30FPS, a game blacks out/erases the whole screen and redraws it 30x per second. web browsers/windows just change the colors of the individual pixels as needed.. plus pwm/temporal dithering

              add me to the teeth grinding list. interesting

              brain surgery... that sounds very scary

                hey, Besides our technical discussion I come up with another health idea resulting from a consultation.

                To summarize: many of us suffer from sinusitis and frequent inflammations in the ENT area. Also many of us are grinding their teeth.
                Also susceptibility to infections and high inflammation markers go hand in hand with the upper symptoms.

                Furthermore I think that it is clear that the eye is also affected from those inflammations.

                However what is the root from this inflammation tedency?
                The answer from this doctor was food intolerance. Do not mix this intolerance with an allergy. Also it is not neccesary that you have problems with your gastrointestinal tract.
                No it's time to find out which intolerance I'm suffering from (Lactose, Fructose, Histamine,…)
                Maybe some of you also have time to do such tests or at least think about it.

                    Hi guys, just thought I'd chip in. I'm 33 and I have some of the issues that are described in here. I haven't fully investigated all of them as possible causes for my issues. I suffer from migraines caused by temporal dithering. They are ALWAYS in my left eye. If I push up hard in the top right of my left eye where it meets my nose the pain largely goes away (the nausea doesn't). 30 mins on a Macbook these days can wipe me out for 2 days. I take Sumatriptan as a reliever which works but has undesirable side effects (makes me reallly groggy and slow, not good as I teach music production). I take Propanalol as a preventative, but this has made me gain a fair bit of weight.

                    With regards to other possibly related issues:

                    • I have a problem with my temporomandibular - it clicks every time I open and close my mouth. I've always had this. Any thoughts as to what to do about this would be great.
                    • I get some distortion in my left ear with loud high / midrange frequencies, particularly when my ears has undergone pressure change like having been on a plane
                    • I also grind my teeth although have never looked into any treatment for this.
                    • when I take Sumatriptan to cause a migraine I feel like my left sinus clears (like I've taken a bit blast of eucalyptus when I have a cold) and this happens before the migraine lifts

                    For me prevention is all about avoiding the triggers, but this is tricky since I teach music production and everyone uses Macbooks. Exercise helps but isn't the solution. Hope that helps someone, would be great to put all this data together at some point as there could be something in all this... :]

                      si_edgey There is so much stuff here that is similar to me. I bet if we talked further we might be able to find more similarities (and maybe connect those similarities). The TMJ, ear problems, hyperacusis (I believe that's what you describe. I have it) are all familiar. Just posting now because I'm not feeling well at all and might forget.

                        I think a lot of us have TMJ issues. But then again, I think a huge percentage of the population does. I have sinus issues - although not acute, I've been on some kind of decongestant/antihistamine since I was a teenager - and TMJ (I wear a nightguard and that blunts 90+% of the symptoms). But the eyestrain started only about 5 years ago... roughly the same time that I started needing reading glasses.

                        The #1 co-mordidity I ave seen among LED sensitive folks, and migraine suffers in general, is sinus problems. A lot of the nerves that are involved in the issues we are dealing with run through the various sinus cavities and the pallete/roof of your mouth. I've talked to 2 people who had to have pallete surgery for unrelated reasons and in both cases as a side effect they were completely cured of thier light sensitivity.

                        If I had to make a rough guess I would say the correlation between folks I have met IRL and online with light sensitivity and sinus issues is over 95%.
