i think as long as symptoms fluctates your brain trys to adapt maybe its a good sign. stagnation could be worse because your brain doesnt try to fix anymore. thats only my opinion and i have no evidence

what the fuuu is wrong with this antibiotics??? you are another one. now in this thread are three people out of 5 blaming this shitty fucking fuck hole meds to be involved^^

haha i did it as a child because i liked the visuals now since they are there 24/7 they can go away for my sake^^

marf^^ sometimes life is hard and unfair. but every closed door means less draught^^.... there will be more women, more cars, more jobs and maybe less HPPD over time...

pressing your eylid creates phosphenes in everyone i did that as a child very often. maybe it creates more crazy stuff a normal brain filters out. dont do this its not very healthy for your eyeball

here is an interessting article about lsd and gene expression: http://www.maps.org/...1/13124tho.html or this one: http://www.nature.co...l/1395848a.html or: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12654518

nah see, alot of research has to be done. and gene therapy is a real new field of science, if its caused by gene expression i think these gene silence methods hope1 is posting about could do its job.(this would be the best option) but first the gene(s) which makes trouble has to be located, then you have to take a look on the tasks it has maybe it is not possible to influence because it is necessary for other mechanism of the body. a gene defect would be the worst case i think because who knows if its ever possible to edit the DNA in a safe way. but maybe its possible to find a treatment not a cure. if for example the located gene is responsible for the mechanism of a special protein or its utilization you could influence this by meds. maybe dr A. is near the edge because of his COMT inhibitor findings. lets see what research will discover in the next years.

i dont really feel emotions neither positive nor negative. and i never did since iam very young. there are sometimes exceptions but mostly iam very rational. one thing i dont really know is anxiety i know sometimes that something could be bad for me but i cant really feel about it. like what will happen if my symptoms get worse. iam also not able to show pleasure, never was^^. i was never depressive because i cant understand why....life is life, what will happen will happen...and everything i feel bad about i simply avoid. but yes i think i have emotions everyone has but iam not really driven by them. iam always lookin for realistic explanations. but iam convinced that emotions has an impact on the situation(visuals or what ever), maybe not in the long run but if you feel bad with your body and mind everything is harder to handle or to accept. but iam also convinced that HPPD is neurological in its origin so it is a "real" disorder. caused by an organic problem and it is maybe influenced by emotions but you cant heal it by avoiding extreme emotions look at me^^

we are hyper sensitive to everything what happens to our vision. you never know for sure whats normal, whats normal but increased or whats HPPD on its own. the purkinje's tree is mostly normal for everybody while eye exams and alot people without HPPD get it when tired and lookin on a white wall for example. my girlfriend told me a few weeks ago when she wakes up in a room with a texture wallpaper she sees it moving. dont now if this normal or if its related to her drug use in the past. but i think when we are tired alot of people can relate to a few HPPD symptoms. here is a pic of the prunkije's tree:

i have this too when i first wake up and blink while looking on a bright surface. and yes this are your veins its called the purkinje's tree. i also got it while an eye exam and the doc looks into my eye with his slit lamp.

if your son has migraine sessions i think its PMA not passed down HPPD. also i think this would show that PMA and HPPD are one and the same thing and caused by the same underlying cause(genes) as i always stated.

iam one of these guys whose HPPD has a flare up after taking antibiotics. i would say stop the drops and dont take them anymore. maybe its "only" your anxiety of making things worse because of medication which is giving you this flare up. try to stay calm people of the yuku forum had a transistent flare up because of some meds which always went after stoping them.

maybe these links are a bit better than the wiki article: http://books.google.de/books?id=qbF44AEMGdcC&pg=PA170&dq=eigengrau+brain&hl=de&sa=X&ei=pxz7T7PeFsfOswbAuZC0BQ&ved=0CDIQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=eigengrau%20brain&f=false http://books.google.de/books?id=LuIy4Qe7cY8C&pg=PA205&dq=eigengrau+brain&hl=de&sa=X&ei=pxz7T7PeFsfOswbAuZC0BQ&ved=0CDgQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=eigengrau%20brain&f=false you can try to search google books for more links. i think its interesting that risperdion(sp?) seems to play a part in this phenomenom it plays also the main part in afterimages.

green is worse for afterimages and matte red for visual snow. no snow on shiny white or cream. snow on black has improved alot. unfortunately these eigengrau article on wiki isnt the best in english there are alot of great german article about it and yes iam absolutly convinced that VS is this eigengrau or eigenlicht.

same for me i mostly got visual snow on matte surfaces,on shiny surfaces i dont see really the snow. how could this be explainable?

yap a face^^

yeah its possible that christopher shankin is a german i googled the name and found a dr. in munich with this name who is actually in the usa maybe it is him^^

i have hollidays for two and a half month because i completed my vocational training and begin my new job in august^^ sometimes its hard to find distraction but then i close my eyes and listen to music for example and maybe the wether will get better so youre able to enjoy the nature my symptoms are very low outside.

this study is almost for visual snow and not for HPPD in first place so he can take part if he wants and fits into the criteria. you can try to contact the researchers but as i know they are in the second part of the study where they need people for a personal meeting but worth trying.

talking helps a lot and its a good way to help you out of crisis. but i only use this forum to talk about this disorder. normaly people who are not affected wont understand (thats the same for every disorder/disease). only a few people i know know about my symptoms but not about HPPD. i told them in the beginning but they never asked again. noone notice it because my vision is only a mess and i have nocomorbid diseases. also i dont want to stress friends about it. i live my life and do the best i can in my job, family and so on. but sometimes i have to talk and i think thats the best place here. the best way for me to forget about my disorder is to go into clubs and do sports. keep yourself busy thats the best advise. naja mein englisch ist bei weitem nicht so gut wie deins^^ aber wenn du mal in deutsch reden magst oder mentale unterstützung brauchst schreib mir ne PM. ich mags net so gern hier deutsch zu reden im öffentlichen forum das grenzt zu viele leute aus.

my "full-blown" HPPD kicked in while i was on antibiotics but there where alot of other factors like weed, alc and stress who knows what was the main reason or if it was the combination. but i hope that i dont have a need for antibiotics ever again, what is really unlogical i think^^ be careful while on them and try to avoid stress and every other possible trigger.

Herzlich willkommen im Forum^^ as for psychodelic music iam lovin it post HPPD i love melancholic electro and Neo-folk. i had this anxiuos feeling while lookin in my girlfriends eyes too at the beginning of my HPPD but it disappeared. i remembered the looking of her eyes while she was on a bad trip but this has gone in the first weeks, i think it was related to the fear of telling her about HPPD. dont have done it yet, because iam afraid that she could develop it too when she knows about it. she is very anxious when i talk about my/our experiences on drugs with friends. she mostlly leaves the room in such a situation. i have told her about the snow and a few other symptoms and that i think its because of the last decade of heavy weed abusing (maybe it is who knows). naja dann mal viel Spaß hier im forum und grüße ausem Ruhrpott^^

hmm dont know but the most supps dont cross the blood-brain-barrier

ups sorry in germany its called levocarb not carbidopa its the same like sinemet but sinemet has to be imported and is more expensive

i voted for no but i have a lot of heartburn when eating or drinkin to sweet or sour things.
