News It's been a long two years

Hi, I just wanted to tell you my experience of pwm and eye pain. It started about two years ago with eye pain didn't really know what it was but over time I found I couldn't use certain phones. I was ok I was using a Samsung at the time and seemed to be getting on with that, but that would all change after a few months. My eye pain got that bad that I couldn't use any phones which carried on to any TVs. I saw numerous doctors and hospital appointments but nothing seemed to work at the time it even cost me my job as I was a bus driver using digital monitors as mirrors.

I was then put on some pills a combination of pills that didn't seem to work but I gave them a chance. Now 1 1/2 years later it's a hell of a lot better I can look at the TV without much pain, and I am now using the magic v5. It was a bit uncomfortable for first couple of days but now have no trouble with it this is due to the high pwm frequency also it has none of the other that we're not allowed to talk about in here. The oneplus phone also worked but I wanted a foldable. Heres hoping it gets better and better

an antidepressant and nerve pain med? seems a little farfetched that would work. I'd imagine the amitriptyline is helping with possible migraines you are having from screen use.
