Eye-patch was useful to stop 2x vis. when it was temporary.

24.04.2025 14:21 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Stigmatization is just so high, yet covert. I didn't realize how awful it was until involved in publishing about epilepsy. Publishers have lottery-style give-aways at websites. Books on mental ill get 20 X the interest as books on E. 400 sign ups f/mi books vs 11 for Ep books in some cases.
