Hi all I'm a girl from Washington.
I believe that I have some form of HPPD.. I'm three months in.. still an hppd baby.
My symptoms include visual snow, dp/dr. Patterns swim and move, like ceiling tiles will shuffle. I get frame vision, seems to be a rarer symptom for people. I had it BAD for a week, everything was shuttering, picture frame movement. Now I only have it when I look at something for the first time, it will shutter. I have head pressure, tinnitus, numbness in extermeties, and the biggest migraines. I sometimes get this eerie vivid high definition like vision. I also feel very fuzzy headed. Can’t think anymore. Something is clearly wrong with my CNS.
I am really determined not to let this ruin my life. I'm going to continue my studies.. try to keep doing everything I wanted.
I'm just starting to lose hope for recovery.. I feel fried, and I don't think I have the normal HPPD case that gets better.
Anyways. The drugs that caused this for me was a bad string of "molly." I bought from some people I didn't know.. and it had something bad in it that didn't like my chemical balance.
To make things better I exercise, relax, do yoga. I have almost become more social after hppd, I just want to be around people for support. I like to take 5-htp to decrease anxiety and sad feelings. I was taking ginko ( but stopped because I heard it causes headaches), fish oil, multivitamin, and B12.
I guess only time will tell what will happen with me. It is so hard to stay away from alcohol.. I love the bars and my friends. Since my onset my symptoms have been extremely variable. I always tell myself with a bad symptom.. give it ONE WEEK. Usually in one week, things are different.
So theres a little bit about me
