Hi Dmtriy. I started recovering in 2017. My strain had become chronic, and remained chronic for many years (until I figured out the cure), so I'm having a slow recovery, but am much better now. I read your blog posts. I don't entirely agree, but I can see the same pattern of problems and diagnostics in your case too. I obviously can't estimate your medical condition sitting in another part of the world. The evaluation should be done by a doctor. However, your mention of not being able to use the computer for more than 25 minutes shows that you should definitely give your eyes more rest (and sleep). WorkRave helps in taking breaks. The number of hours I use the computer per day is also restricted. Apart from eating a well balanced diet of properly cooked food, the other thing that helped me get better sleep was the occasional consumption of curd (gave long duration sleep) and almonds, which helped with deep sleep (hope you aren't allergic to almonds). Hope to hear from you when you recover :-) It'll take many months, and recovery starts only when you start getting better sleep and give your eyes sufficient rest. Meanwhile, if your problems are being caused by some other reason, never hesitate to consult a doctor. It's important to find a good doctor who goes into details and has the skill to do proper diagnostics. My doctor said that one should try to obtain sleep naturally instead of taking sleeping pills (and the doctor was right). Also, when noting down experiences, don't depend on short-term observations. Write down what you tried, repeat the experiment under the same conditions and verify multiple times until you are sure. Please read through the article repeatedly to understand all points. It's from many years of experience.
