Alex0, of course, lot of people can have the same thing but the same thing can be different.

The way I was seeing my floaters 2-3 years ago is no comparable as how I see them now. And it is not only an attitude change. They appeared more darker, more big, etc. --- they probably moved.

I have had a surgery to because of Crohn in 2000 (fistula that was going out through my belly button). A couple of months at hospital, but it was nothing that bring me down. Actually, after all that passed, I was feeling extremely good. I guess some people were surprised how I handled it and also how fast I took back activity after the surgery.

But like I said, last year, tinnitus, hit my head, etc. and then I was really down, really depress, had to stop all my activity and had dark thoughts. Each day was more than hard to keep up. But "miraculously" at some point my head started to feel better. However, I don't even know if I will be the funny clown I use to be before all these events. But then, I meet people with tinnitus and for them it is not a big deal.

Different people, different intensity, different reactions, etc.

That is like floaters, you will get a lot of people that say "oh I have them too". But having small floaters you barely see versus having a giant dark spider web in your vision that is omnipresent, there is a world of a difference, I know, I have been there in both situation. For now, floaters is no more an issue for me. I would exchange my tinnitus for a floater I guess. Of course it depends the floater! But it is not like that that it works.

Best of luck to you all, hope your floaters become a non-issue.
