I had to have my wisdom teeth removed, because my teeth were misaligned.

in this case they were mostly straight but the bottom right one back in 2020 half of it fell right off... got taken to a dentist but the dentist said there was nothing wrong with the part that was left behind... but it is more sensitive to certain chemicals, maltodextrin, piperonals, probably caffeine and some kinds of sugars, malts and caramels... maltodextrin sets it off in absolute agony for a whole week... but that all came from longterm exposure to sucralose i think, possibly other artificial sweeteners

really i anyway have to permanently fix the diet but i might go get this tooth yanked anyway after i finish my current assignment, and have a week i can be out of order while the pain goes away... will definitely ask for some analgesics if i do it

oh yeah, and the artificial sweeteners started off this thing with severe tinnitis and double vision (eyes not aligning images correctly) and that is related to a neuromuscular thing, which i am now quite sure is some kind of messed up glucose polymer building up around my nerves (my grandmother had alzheimers which i believe is related to her austro-indonesian heritage and a lifetime of high carb diet)

when i was on the milk diet all these problems with my teeth went away, just the double vision didn't - and that's because of the messed up milk protein from UHT

i still have a fair bit of problem with my vision now but i'm quite sure it's more about my nerves than the optical materials

I get that. It's a visual migraine.

oh, that's a separate thing, maybe somehow related but i don't think so... i used to get it often while dehydrated and from too much energy drinks, can't see properly in the central part of my vision because all these patterns are blinking in and out

no, double vision is from the neuromuscular dysfunction, normally there is a twitch where the eyes move slightly left and right or something like this, but with this happening they are out of sync and don't converge properly, so you get double images, like looks like ~1mm double image of everything, makes text really hard to read, and computer screens especially ones with slow refresh like 60hz the pixels even paint in the wrong position as well as the double vision

i was worrying at first when it started happening last year that it was Wernicke Korsakoff, a disease often associated with heavy alcohol consumption but i'm not actually quite *that* bad and what actually was causing it was artificial sweeteners and stuff like maltodextrin and high fructose corn sugars

the visual migraines are hell though... really can't read at all... the double vision, that's bearable at worst you just increase the size of the text and you can read ok but as i have been resuming carbs in my diet it's coming back worse so it seems like the only way out is milk/carnivore

Yeah, you're right. It was more like blinking and weird tunnel vision, not double.
