Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 134

[ecosophia]

We are now in the third year of these open posts. As the phrase "died suddenly" repeats in the mass media like a mantra, statistics for work days lost to illness and all-cause mortality mount up in heavily vaccinated nations, and more and more ugly facts about the official response to Covid spill out into public, we are entering what may well turn out to be the most difficult period of the Covid disaster -- the phase in which denial rises in lockstep with the death rate, and a great many people try not to admit what has been done to them by the people and institutions they trusted. It could get ugly, folks.

So it's time for another open post. The rules are the same as before: 

1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.

2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here. 
 
3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue. 

4. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religions, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules. 

With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

You've lost your peripheral vision? That can reflect a disorder affecting the optic chiasm (many diseases can affect this). Has your primary doc been informed? Has your peripheral vision been measured? If you were my patient and I found evidence of peripheral vision loss, I'd refer you to a neurologist.

Thank you for your feedback! Yes that was my concern too. So after a lo mg wait I finally got in to see the neuroopthalmologist up here. He’s great, but he couldn't see anything on my field testing or imaging. To his credit he was never dismissive, but he had no idea what was going on. As it improves I’m more convinced it’s a processing issue of some kind in my brain, (something that doesn’t show up in MRI). Now the areas of my visual field where I couldn’t see are much much smaller. And now I only notice an issue in busy places, and even that is better. t

Whew. The long prodrome(?) of headache, and the long wait to get to the neuro-ophthomologist could have been dangerous. Some potential problems could have become irretrievable during that time (e.g. pituitary tumor, or auto-immune attack at the optic chiasm, or...). You are fortunate.
