Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to the FAQ. Here are some of the most often asked questions in my inbox.

- Who are you, and what am I doing here? Hello, I’m Joy, and this is my little corner of the internet. You may know me from such viral posts as Crucifix Nail Nipples, Robin Williams punching death eaters, or from my advocacy work where I focus on issues of disability, chronic illness, and neurodivergency. You may also know me from my international best-selling novel about vampires and werewolves kissing.

In which case, the vampire nipple thing probably comes as a bit of a shock. I also co-host @theayesphere, an interactive podcast with my bestie @ayeforscotland, on his Twitch channel.

If you genuinely do not know how you got here, welcome anyway. I hope you find a reason to stay.

- I sent you a message, and you never responded! I’m sorry about that. I get a lot of mail daily, and it’s impossible to keep up with. It’s not a reflection of you or my regard for you. I appreciate every kind word and message of support sent my way, even if I can’t always reply to it.

I am but a humble peddler of smut who never expected to have a viral blog. I’m also multiply disabled, so the struggle to keep up is real.

- So, what’s wrong with you? How long have you got?

The quick answer is I have a connective tissue disorder known as Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), comorbid with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). All three were diagnosed in 2020 after a lifelong struggles with chronic pain, chronic fatigue, fainting episodes and what I thought was asthma and chronic vomitting but actually turned out to be slow-acting idiopathic anaphylaxis. I am now on a treatment plan and am considered stable.

In late 2022 after losing the entire year to debilitating migraines, I was also diagnosed with atypical Binocular Vision Disorder by a neuro-ophthalmologist. This was a major root cause of my chronic migraines which had been missed by both a regular ophthalmologists and several neurologists. My case was considered ‘atypical’ because I did not present with the classic double vision symptoms checked for by most ophthalmologists. But upon extensive testing by the neuro-ophthalmologist, the misalignment in my eyes was diagnosed correctly and I was prescribed micro-prism glasses. I was also prescribed red-tinted lenses to help with extreme photophobia, as red blocks more blue light than other colors.

After three months of screen rest and allowing my eyes to adjust to the lenses – as well as extensive vision therapy–my monthly migraine count went from 20+ migraines a month down to 3. My remaining migraines appear to be hormonal in nature, but I have found that taking 400mg of b2 (riboflavin) a day, as prescribed by my neurologist, has greatly reduced the pain.

Despite the recent progress in my treatment, I am still a very sick, very fatigued individual and struggle to keep up with life sometimes.

I also have chronic ‘double depression’, cPTSD and ADHD, leaning more toward the hyper end of the spectrum. So I’m doubly cursed with a slow, slow body and a fast, fast mind that sometimes wants to yeet itself off a cliff. It’s an Experience. All of my posts pertaining to mental health are tagged as #mental health. Most of my ADHD stuff can be found under #adult adhd.

You can read more about my health issues by following my #chronic health tag or blacklist if you prefer! I also have one for my teeth #chronic health tag: teeth, though that one is less active since the nerve damage in my jaw was resolved.

- Why do you use affiliate links? Good question! There are a lot of hidden costs that go into indie publishing, and a large part of that is what we lose to places like Amazon in fees. Using affiliate links to promote our work allows authors to recoup some of that loss from our royalties, though not quite all of it. The links don’t cost you anything, nor do they tell me anything about your private data or shopping habits. They’re just a way for me to claw money back directly from Amazon. I try to limit how often I link to Amazon as the only thing I’m interested in peddling are my weres. And maybe a couple of vampires while I’m at it.

- Who is ETD/Mothman?

ETD/Mothman was the name my blog gave to my husband several years ago when my blog started getting popular. He has since joined Tumblr, and you can follow his shenanigans @mothman-etd

- Wait, you wrote a book?! I did! Hunger Pangs: True Love Bites is a 2x international best-selling paranormal, pun-filled polyamorous queer romance series with elements of Gaslamp fantasy and political satire. It features vampires, werewolves, and several other manner of creatures that go bump in the night. It has been described by those who have read it as “like reading the queer-goth-punk love child of Terry Pratchett meets Jane Austen. You can read more about it here or check out my website. The primary tag used by the fandom here on Tumblr is #Phangs.

- Vampires or werewolves? Why not both? \_(ツ)_/

- Hi, I want to support your work! Which purchase method best supports you? Any way you choose to purchase my books helps me! Purchasing through my Payhip or Gumroad nets me the most money, but purchasing through sites like Amazon contributes to my sales ranking, which increases my chances of trending in the algorithm and gaining a wider audience. Reviews are also a fantastic way to support an author, as is word of mouth.

Please note, I will be phasing out the Gumroad links following their stance on NFTS and the ensuing behavior of their CEO on Twitter. This should not affect your files. If, for some reason, you lose your digital copy and Gumroad won’t let you download it again via your email link, please reach out to me at info @ joydemorra.com

- Can I write fanfic/create fanart of your work? Please do! I want nothing more for you to enjoy my work to the point of creation. Just be careful not to tag me in any fanfic, and please don’t send me any headcanons. If someone accidentally guesses my plot and shows it to me, it can risk any of my future book plans. Keep fandom discussions within fandom. The author is (un)dead, and their opinion doesn’t matter. If you make fanart, you can tag me in that, but please don’t link to your Patreon or Ko-Fi in the post where I can see it. If I see you are making a profit from my work, I am legally obligated to file a takedown. If I do not see any such links, which may or may not exist in any reblogs I am not immediately tagged in, we do not have a problem. 🙈🙈🙈

- Can I cosplay your characters and tag you? Absolutely! Just make sure you follow the above advice about Ko-Fi and Patreon links.

- Will you sign my copy of [____] If this is post-pandemic times and we are at a meet and greet, yes! I’ll also have bookplates for sale soon that you can insert into your copies or do with them as you please.

- Are you going to turn any of your books into audiobooks? Yes! My audiobooks are narrated by Catherine Bilson (aka @caitlynlynch) and you can find them listed under my buy link options.

- Why do you write two versions of the same story? Glad you asked! I write two versions of all my stories so that people who enjoy sex scenes can enjoy them, and those who prefer not to read depictions of sexual acts don’t need to skip pages to avoid the more explicit scenes. You can read more about my decision to do this here.

- Help! I bought the wrong version! Most of my retailers will allow you to return the book for a full refund, freeing you to purchase the correct copy. If you bought a copy through my Gumroad or Payhip, drop me a line at info @ joydemorra.com, and we’ll get it resolved :)

- You’re an editor, right? Will you look at my manuscript? Regrettably, I am not taking on any new clients at the moment, but if you would like to check out my editors, you can fine them at @roselarkpublishing

- When will you be editing again? When I have the mental and physical capacity greater than the depth of a teaspoon.

- When is your next book coming out? When I have the mental and physical capacity greater than the depths of a teaspoon. (Sorry, I know I’m taking too long.)

- Will you reblog my donation post? I’m afraid that due to the high volume of requests that I get (anywhere from 5-20 a day), I am currently only reblogging donation posts from mutuals. I’m sorry. There are just too many for me to keep up with without flooding my dash. But please do look into @copperbadge’s Radio Free Monday, which I always try to reblog. The submission form is here, and Sam wrote a guide on how to write fundraising posts here.

- What’s your favorite book? Feet of Clay by Terry Pratchett. Closely followed by Going Postal by Terry Pratchett and Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones.

- What’s your favorite movie? Singin’ in the Rain!

- Favorite music? I’ve been listening to The Amazing Devil on loop for over eighteen months, so it’s safe to say I like them.

- Why do you use Amazon? Aren’t they evil incarnate?!?

They are, but they’re also the biggest-selling platform for eBooks for indie and trad authors and not using them is career suicide. If you don’t like Amazon, I have plenty of other platforms for you to use, including directly from my Payhip, which allows you to use Kindle without giving Jeff Bezos a penny.

- Can I send you something I made/thought you might like? Sure! My PO Box is:

JOY DEMORRA # 250 2038 FORD PARKWAY SAINT PAUL MN 55116

- I saw you from the essential oil discourse and was just wondering… Please have pity on my chronic fatigue and refer to the master list post compiled very kindly by @paradoxanomalyenigma. You may find that I have already answered your question. If not, come ask me!

- Why did you move from Scotland to the US? I met and fell and love with Mothman. Originally we were going to live in the UK, but they changed the immigration laws six weeks before our wedding, and it ended up being more accessible for me to move here than for him to move there. Ideally, we would both like to have dual citizenship one day.

- Does Mothman really believe in me? Always.

- Are you Wiccan? No, I’m a pagan who identifies as a secular witch and have been for the last 20+ years. I don’t hold to any particular creed or belief. The gods might well exist. I’ve just got little time for them.

- Can you post to your bad luck chain-mail spell breaker? It makes me feel better. Here you go! Here’s my other curse breaker post if you want it, too.

So any disabilities. That was my dry sense of humour, course you have at least 1 as your blog name implies, but any others you’re open to sharin?

Hey there! :D

Along with Tourettes syndrome (bahaha) I'm also diagnosed with OCD, ADHD, ASD, Dyspraxia, a couple of mood disorders that were put on my chart as a teenager, and Irlens Syndrome and BVD (binocular vision dysfunction), Diplopia (double-vision), and visual snow syndrome

I was meant to get tested for PANS/PANDAS/BGE which if I *do* have, would likely consolidate a lot of these into one diagnosis as opposed to whatever this clusterfuck i, but, getting access to testing is a nightmare.

Ty for asking my dear bananaguns friend!

genuinely not sure binocular vision disorder is the right diagnosis bc a) none of the french doctors did exams to check the physical make-up of my eye balls b) in theory if u have bvd and u close one eye then you can see alright. but when i close one eye everything gets really blurry regardless of which eye. so. that is bad. c) pain is back to a daily occurance

prayer circle that my partner and I both get jobs w benefits although honestly if I have to pay for another round of extensive tests and appointments and etc I may just do a kickstarter or something. because all the med stuff in Arkansas left me so fucking broke and also psychologically wounded, I don't think I can go though that again without some kind of additional support.

I made it to 31 days migraine-free until last night my neck adjusted and pinched a nerve. It’s not too bad. I took a Tylenol to take the edge off, something which was previously unheard of for me. Normally no amount of otc painkillers helped.

There’s also likely a hormonal fluctuation at play. My menstrual cycle is due, and that monthly spike in hormones always makes my hEDS so much worse. Hence my neck adjusting by itself and cronching the nerve. Which was honestly more painful than the migraine itself has been.

Part of having binocular vision disorder is constantly tilting your head from side to side to try and keep your eyes in focus.

Since getting my glasses, I’ve been “weirdly still.” I still fidget and move because ADHD, but I’m no longer doing a constant “confused puppy” impersonation as I tilt my head from side to side to keep my eyes in focus.

I’m realizing now that this has likely greatly helped my craniocervical instability, and I’ve not been pinching the nerves in my neck so much.

If this is true, and my hormones become my main trigger—both for the migraine itself but also contributing to other factors like joint laxity and worsening my craniocervical instability—then that means I can better target my physical therapy, but also take preemptive precautions in the week running up to my monthly cycle and brace my neck to prevent the joints from moving around as much and pinching the nerves.

This is another potentially life altering revelation and I’m not even mad my 31 day streak got interrupted. Because I had 31 days migraine-free and that’s something I haven’t been able to say in over a decade, and if it comes to it, I’ll gladly take 1 migraine a month vs 20.

Anyway. I’m going back to sleep for a bit. I just had to jot this thought down in case the migraine gets worse and I forget.

Vision Wellness: Balancing Treatment for Lazy Eye and Digital Eye Strain

Introduction:

In today’s digital age, where screens dominate our daily lives, issues related to eye health have become increasingly prevalent. Among these, conditions like lazy eye (amblyopia), digital eye strain, and computer vision syndrome (CVS) pose significant challenges. Additionally, squint eye, or strabismus, requires attention for both children and adults. In this blog, we’ll delve into the various aspects of these conditions and explore treatment options available.

Understanding Lazy Eye:

Lazy eye, or amblyopia, is a vision development disorder that typically begins in childhood. It occurs when one eye doesn’t receive adequate use, leading to vision impairment in that eye. If left untreated, it can result in permanent vision loss. While lazy eye treatment is commonly associated with childhood, it’s important to note that adults can also undergo treatment to improve vision.

Lazy Eye Treatment for Adults:

Traditionally, lazy eye treatment primarily targeted children, as early intervention was believed to be crucial for successful outcomes. However, advancements in vision therapy techniques have expanded lazy eye treatment for adults as well. Vision therapy, including eye exercises, prism lenses, and occlusion therapy, can help improve visual acuity and binocular vision in adults with lazy eye.

Digital Eye Strain and Computer Vision Syndrome:

With the widespread use of digital devices, digital eye strain and computer vision syndrome have become significant concerns. Symptoms include eye strain, headaches, dry eyes, and blurred vision, among others. Prolonged screen time can exacerbate these symptoms, impacting productivity and overall well-being. To alleviate digital eye strain, it’s essential to practice the 20–20–20 rule (taking a 20-second break every 20 minutes, looking at something 20 feet away) and ensure proper ergonomics when using digital devices.

Squint Eye Treatment:

Squint eye, or strabismus, is a condition characterized by misaligned eyes. It can lead to double vision and depth perception issues if left untreated. Squit Eye Treatment options include corrective lenses, vision therapy, and in some cases, surgery to realign the eye muscles. Early detection and intervention are crucial for successful treatment outcomes.

Preventive Measures:

While treatment options exist for lazy eye, digital eye strain, computer vision syndrome, and squint eye, prevention is always better than cure. Practicing good eye habits, such as taking regular breaks from screens, maintaining proper posture, and scheduling routine eye exams, can help preserve eye health and prevent the onset of these conditions.

Conclusion:

In a world dominated by screens, prioritizing eye health is paramount. Whether it’s seeking treatment for lazy eye, managing digital eye strain, or addressing squint eye, understanding the condition and available treatment options is crucial. By implementing preventive measures and seeking timely intervention, individuals can safeguard their vision and enjoy optimal eye health for years to come.

Implementing these advancements will help optometrists detect issues sooner, slow progression of disorders, and improve vision outcomes for children.

1. Advanced Photoscreening Systems

Photoscreening devices provide a critical first vision screening for children as young as 6 months. The handheld devices use infrared cameras to photograph the eyes and detect several amblyopia risk factors within seconds without child cooperation.

This allows lifesaving early detection of issues like strabismus, high refractive errors, and media opacities that warrant further evaluation.

2.Enhanced Handheld Autorefraction

Devices now allow quick, portable autorefraction and keratometry testing on pediatric patients.

The animated displays with familiar shapes and characters keep children engaged and minimally distracted for more reliable readings even on pre-verbal patients. This aids early detection of significant refractive errors.

3. Myopia Control Methods

New techniques like overnight orthokeratology, low-dose atropine eye drops, and specially designed contact lenses have proven up to 60% reduction in myopia progression in children.

Starting these interventions promptly at the first signs of myopia allows prevention and slowing of pathologic high myopia severity later on.

4. Expanded Amblyopia Treatment Options

Traditional amblyopia treatment using eye patching has expanded to include new modalities like iPad apps, Bangerter filters, and office-based vision therapy activities.

These can improve compliance and outcomes by offering more varied stimulation and treatment engagement. This reduces long-term visual deficits.

5. Objective Accommodative Testing

Dynamic retinoscopy and handheld devices allow objective measurement of focus and accommodation abilities.

This aids early diagnosis of accommodation anomalies like deficiencies and infacilities that can significantly impact learning.

6. Immersive Binocular Testing

Virtual reality headsets allow advanced 3D testing of binocular vision function using immersive games and activities.

This allows earlier identification of issues like convergence insufficiency, lazy eye, and subtle depth perception problems that may be missed on static clinical testing.

7. Pediatric-Friendly Refraction Tools

Refraction apps on iPads allow game-like activities to keep pediatric patients engaged during the subjective refraction process for more accurate and efficient prescriptions. Automated phoropters also minimize the need to switch lenses manually.

8. Genetic Testing for Diagnosis

Genetic tests from dry blood samples can identify over 300 inherited retinal and optic nerve disorders. This allows earlier diagnosis and management guidance without requiring child cooperation for imaging procedures.

9. Specialized Contact Lens Fitting

Smaller contact lens diameters, customizable peripheral curves, and advanced fitting techniques accommodate children's eyes as they grow. This expands contact lens correction options for pediatric patients.

Conclusion:

From photoscreeners to genetic tests, groundbreaking technological and clinical advancements are shaping the future of pediatric optometry.

Implementing these innovations will equip your practice to provide optimal eye care for infants and children. Leveraging the latest pediatric vision care tools and techniques demonstrates your commitment to helping every child see clearly and thrive.
