For March/April 2008: Do persons with EMS report problems with hearing and vision?

Yes, many persons with EMS report a lot of problems with their eyes and ears, such as: 1) Hearing loss 2) Drastic changes in vision 3) Dry Eye Syndrome 4) Blepharitis of eyes 5) Problems with eyes when watching TV, reading, using a computer, being in A/C or in the wind, etc; 4) Redness of eyes 5) Tinnitus or ringing or noises in the ears (very common) 6) More serious eye diseases or ear problems I won't get into here. Personally, I had 20/20 vision at age 39 when I got EMS. Within 4 months, I needed eye glasses to read.

The doctor tried to say it was just that I'd turned age 40, but I saw a relationship to getting EMS. I had a brother with similiar good eyesight who didn't require glasses until later in his 40s for reading.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
