My eye doctor told me at my last exam I had some nerve in the Jewish accent despite the fact he was South Korean and cracked me up because he was so impressed that the ocular nerves for exceptionally strong maybe I just need another good knock to the back of my head LOL

From a purely scientific point of view can anything be 100% thereby can anything truly be universal? We find this conundrum accessibility work all the time what works for one person is a complete disaster for another. Paradox of life I suppose?
That's interesting I seem to do better when I have the standard bifocals but the neurological problem isn't corrected by anything in the eye itself that can be corrected including glasses. Oh well what a drag it is and all that LOL

You're brave to share so much people have said that of me I don't know another way to be sometimes it comes out in rage and sometimes it doesn't but I have never ever raised a hand to another human being passed sibling rivalry years. It's not that I don't want to sometimes
Very true and for long-term users sudden withdrawal or upping the dose hello serotonin syndrome my God horrifying. Ever since my childhood every decade focused on a different brain chemical a euphemism for what we don't fully understand
That was the reason I self initiated the last portion of my long long withdrawal and that was I was afraid to be dropped I wasn't afraid to be at this time of transition in my own world to be a regular meds just the amount and cruelty of not taking care of patients properly.
My new name? Ana Moly Iatro Genia.
Dr idio pathic was wrong. The auto immune wasn't Auto nor was it only immune nice job guys thanks for the harm.
This is my morbid humor but it also comes from a very serious reality that more and earlier intervention and education is needed.

I was never once asked or told and they would hurt me so much and be so difficult to get off of but I did it and now I'm back on but it doesn't matter when you're not long for this world such hypocrisy unnecessary in most cases for the long-term and not one word was ever said.

I finally did after almost 40 years get off prescription benzos at my request even at low dose by that point I felt dependency on a system that hurts was ridiculous now I'm in hospice at home and reintroduced to benzos opiates I'm in pain so severe of a lifetime of severe pain.
Knowing you prefer classics I still have to bring upa Netflix show 'You". The theme about a scam around first edition books. I like to season 1 loved season 2 kind of stopped watching but that second season was like Hannibal lecter style with a little bit of hacker thrown in.

We do get snow some years. The pattern are last longer, colder, or not enough or too much Arizona is big and diverse in climate. 23 year drought in deserts often reveal first evidence of climate change. More wet lately, let's hope. And step up solar and wind FFS. Abundant here!
Dragon dictate has been around a long time. It is not interoperable, has a higher learning curve than I feel up to learning. I want large print, no special magnification but reading glasses required. Does it still exist and if so where? Libraries do digital/audio more now. ThxU

I dislike audio for books. I dislike reading on a device. I want to hold a paper book in my hands. A cup of tea and kitty beside. I want to speak into a machine and have it not require me to use my hands, also impaired to a fatiguing degree. "RECTO auto" Is autocorrect to me.

Assistive devices: Better voice to text input on Android and iPhone. Some AIs are pretty good, like otter.ai - I'm a fast talking New York/New Jersey girl who has pressured speech clinically as well. HA! I drive these programs nuts. It's both embarrassing and funny

My whole life I've had incredible vision, so acute I was nicknamed Eagle Eyed Molly. At 40, normal onset of need for reading glasses. My eyes are not the problem, they are normal thank heavens. Its traumatic injury to the visual areas of the brain's processing and I need help!

Question for #lowvision and folks using adaptive and assistive devices who are having trouble seeing offline or online. The problem is neurological damage, one from a stupid molly trick TBI long ago and the other a side effect to the occipital lobe. I got lucky, most went blind.
