Blunderbuss89 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I've had HPPD for 16 months now. I've cut out all recreational drugs, caffein and alcohol. I keep a steady sleep schedule, take vitamins/magnesium and exercise regularly. I consider myself lucky because many of my symptoms have improved and/or disappeared. However, my trails and after images continue to get worse and worse, month by month. It started with vague negative after images, then strong negatives, then positive trails on lights/LEDs, now I get strong positive trails on everything. This is the only symptom that really freaks me out. Has anybody else had this big of an issue with ever-increasing trails? Do I need to worry about it continuing to get worse to the point that I can't read or drive? Any suggestions on how to manage this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.50's Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I feel you man my light sensitivity, the only symptom that actually bugs me has not improved at all even though I've had massive improvement in every other symptom. As long as it doesn't get terribly worse dont worry man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VisualDude Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 It is common for this symptom to hang in. How is your night vision? Color vision? Sharp or fuzzy? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StateOfRegret Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I'm not sure if my palinopsia has gotten worse, but while some of the other visual symptoms have gotten better (patterning on surfaces, for instance) the palinopsia hasn't really improved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunderbuss89 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Night vision is good (although there are more lights to deal with which sucks) and color vision is normal. No blurry vision either. Just strong trails even on non-light-sources. Glad to see I'm not the only one with this issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunderbuss89 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Is it possible that, similar to other HPPD symptoms, Palinopsia gets worse before it gets better, except for some reason it takes longer for Palinopsia symptoms to fully develop than it takes for other HPPD visuals? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etardnow Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 trailing is one of the symptoms i started to notice later on, about 4-5month in. its not severe as in it fades in less than a second but anything that moves basically has trails if i focus on it through my peripheral vision. so even my hand will produce trails 100% of the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunderbuss89 Posted March 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Just an update. A month later and it still seems to be progressing. Very annoying. I'm trying Natural Calm magnesium which seems to be helping, along with some meditation and relaxation exercises, but the trails behind moving objects seem much longer now than ever. I just wish this symptom would stabilize. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
