Topic: NDS screens gave me a near black-out: was advised by EB Games staff to do away with it!

Ahh, Chinese medicine. Bitter foul stuff to comsume. But for those mild to moderate illnesses are extreamly effective. From my experince, Chinese meds have halve the recovery time of western meds. But that being said, Western medicine have progressed beyond chinese medicine for serious illness.

Chinese Medicine does nothing against Cancer, AIDS or any of the modern diseases that have cropped up this past 100 years. But flu, head colds, fever, pain, blood pressure and other low level ills Chinese medicine will bring you right. If you can get it pass your mouth.

Actually, in China, Chinese medicine is used in conjunction with chemotherapy and radiation to get what case reports have shown to be better cancer treatment results. No major scientific data, just reports. Cancer, is not a modern disease btw.

Reverend_tod, it wasn´t funny having to swap my DS at all. So of course if somebody say I screw up, I get upset. But now you say you didn´t mean that, and that´s fair and square. Thanks!

I really know where the fun games are, on DS. So, I guess you are all convincing me to go over to the physician and have her check me out. I guess that´s the only way I can ever learn what the heck happened that day. I will mention that I was playing right under three bright spotlights, and that these may have had something to do with the whole problem.

One of my friends is doing all he can to get me to buy a PSP instead. He is a die-hard Sony fan, and I am really wondering if it will be fun to own it. Over here it will be expensive, and only few games that are any good will be out at launch. So it will be interesting to learn if the doctor also tries to keep me away from the DS.

Will let all of you know once I get the word from the Doc.

Hahah...and the thread ends with you thinking about buying a PSP instead.... =P

Get yourself some codeine and stop worrying about it....

RABicle, I hope you will accept my public apology for questioning your assessment that Gamebasher is a moron.  In his last several responses he has undoubtedly proven that in fact he is just that.

[RABicle]

I accept that not everyone can be as awesome as me all the time. It's ok.

Someone had an epilectiv fit in Coles the other day, it's total involuntary body movements and you lose memory of the incident. He'd know already if he was an epileptic.

I just noticed that.  Kinda funny.

Honestly Gamebasher I wouldn't worry about that too much, people take much worse migraines than that, anyway whatever you do don't play games on the bus, moving vehicles etc. and if you are wondering why it didn't happen so much with the PSP, your eyes have a larger area to focus on and less background, the DS should be fine however as long as you play at home,outside but not moving.

And about Homeopathy it works because you believe it will work, faith is an incredibly powerful thing, mind over matter if you will.

Worse migraines that cause blindness? Ohhh... they must be blindER than him. Instead of just one eye, both eyes. I don't think you read what happened to him completely. : )

[chaos]

No I did read it, people can have migraines which can incapacitate them for days (sometimes 1-1.5 days) and you then need a while to recover, personally I would swap almost fainting and temporary blindness for that, but it would be a scary experience happening unexpectly like that though. I've had migraines for over ten years so I know a bit about them.

I WILL see a doctor. I just decided for it. I guess I forgot about that ption after the problem faded away. Yeah, it would e good to find out what it is that I am sensitive to.

As to what light conditions I was playing under, I can say that I was playing under three spotlights fixed on a magnetic steel-bar in the ceiling. Pretty tough direct light. Could be that there was some sort of interaction between the screens light-output beaming out in the room and the descending light-output from above. Hard to say. Still, when I played in total darkness, I really felt it was worse.

Yeah. That was no seizure. You'd know if you had a seizure (or you wouldn't remember anything at all).
