hehe jesus is watching you^^ no but masturbation seems to be able to trigger migraine attaks, maybe you have PMA. but i promise not the porn is the cause

that was my first symptome, except the movement which started years ago, short before the snow started. ignored it smoked more ganja and boom the snow was coming.... in my case only white or grey edges vibrate

yeah thats true wiki says furthermore: but there could also be other factors. dr klaus podoll the founder of the migraine aura faundation shows in his research that the most people with PMA/HPPD are caucasian maybe there is a special genedefect i dont believe in the theory that caucasian more often use the internet

no prob...if docs dont care we have to do it and work together as good as possible thats empowerment^^

yeah but in this post traaumatic vision disorder they seem to be able to cure you

as i posted in another thread visual rest seems to have an impact on visuals http://www.migraine-aura.org/content/e27891/e27265/e42285/e57292/e57294/index_en.html but i think only temporarily. this coctail sounds hard i would only do it if i had a very worse case. there is a disease i forgot the name which are visual disturbances because of brain demage i think it was called post traumatic vision syndrome this seems to be cured by wearing sunglasses for example to help the brain filter out the disturbances. hmm would be great if this would workfor HPPD too. i read alot about epilepsy the last day because of my exam tommorow. there are alot of connections to HPPD i think. somehow i believe HPPD could be very similar, the overactive brain, the comorbid diseases, the medication and the individual working of them, dont want to go to much in detail now this will mess my brain for tommorow^^ maybe i will do it soon. hmm who knows but there are a few article which say: maybe mescaline is safe or you will become a shaman and dont think its a disease dunno^^

i thinl here is another thread where people say this is a symptom of DP/DR http://hppdonline.com/index.php?/topic/887-flat2d-vision/ yeah i can handle the visuals but i hate to be careful drinking alcohol or caffeine because i dont wont them to get worse again

hehe iam german my english is like klingon^^ but i think awekening?^^ i had DR only a few times at the beginning when my visuals freaked me out, after my anxiety went DR went as well. sometimes i got it when i fall asleep lying on my back and awekened again if i sleep on the side i dont have it dunno why also i got it at my last job interview maybe stress related edit: i wouldnt call me fully recovered but my HPPD is only visual. i have no comorbid diseases left

i think the root cause isnt discovered yet. DP/DR is one of the most comorbid diseases of mental illnesses. and even the third most mental problem after anxiety and depression. DP often follows traumatic happenings in childhood like sexual abuse. its believed that these persons try to "leave" themselves to better handle the abuse. maybe that is why it is so common in mental problems like anxiety.... but there are also theories that it is caused by the same underlying cause as the other mental problem so first they have to be more explored. DR is often mentioned by people which took drugs execively in the past. but there are also a few organic problems which could lead to DP/DR, like brain lessions, brain tumor, Migraine, epilepsy i think its very hard to explore the root cause of DP/DR but it also seems to be vary individual, for example cortisol could be playing a role..

yeah same here. iam missing weed extremely. last week i gave away my last weed because i thought i wont need it anymore(after 8 month^^) every time when somebody smokes a spliff besides me i want to say give it to me but my mind is winning because i think this only makes everything worse. i was stoned for the last 10 years without a break i think i must learn how to lead a drug free life but sometimes this bored me alot. the only time i really forget about it is when iam going clubbing. last weekend was the third time post HPPD i gave alc a try and it didnt make visuals worse even the next day was "normal".

hey mate, here are a few factors which can make PMA/HPPD worse or better (temporarily): http://www.migraine-...3/index_en.html scroll down the sidebar. i think the most factors are very individuell like responding to medication, so its hard to say....

dunno if this is helpful for you.but maybe you should read up about biology and physics. this prevents me from questions like this. i know also the origin of the universe and life isnt completly understood today but alot of questions has already answers.

also a good pwo could be taurin caps they dont seem to influence symptoms as coffeine seems to do for some here

lets beginn with the shakes they will not effect your HPPD i use a whey shake no probs....(drink enough water 1litre/20kg body weight) as for bcaas(aminos) i read that they are able to prevent CNS fatigue triggered by sports, this means they should be able to prevent temporary symptom worsening after workout. creatine i wouldnt recomend to take it over a long time make a diet 6 month seems to be a good time. in connection to creatine you have to drink a lot of water because they can dehydrate you and trigger temporary Visual snow. gaba isnt able to cross the blood brain barier. no influence onsymptoms so be careful with supps messing with your serotonin lvl. like l-tryptophan, dunno if they have an effect on brain serotonin lvls. also be careful with fatburners some have visual disturbances as an side effect. proteine and carbs shouldnt effect you maybe to much carbs out of simple sugar could make anxiety worse if this is a problem for you. took maltodextrin this is a good post workout supp in connection to protein shakes

in my opinion, and that is also why i started this topic, is that this people no matter if they have PMA(persistend Migraine Aura), HPPD or people without a history of both and maybe are born this way have one thing in common. And this is a predisposed Brain to this symptoms. so i would imagine that Drugs or Migraine are only a trigger and not the root cause. i read some posts here and on the visual snow forum where people are mentioning that their parents can/do also see this way. so this let me think that this is a hereditable problem. Also i think if it is possible to find it out a new and bigger community could be build, this could help doctors to work together to find a cure/treatment.

i should were glasses but i normally dont do this. so iam not used to them right now. if i wear them for a hour my visuals get a lot more noticeable. here is my theory about this. it seems that visual rest could decrease the symptoms: http://www.migraine-...4/index_en.html so in your case visual rest is wearing your glasses and for me because iam not used to them now is dont wearing them visual rest.

sorry but i missed this till now.... thats the best explanation i ever heard of it. this fits like the fist on the eye^^ i have posted a few images on the aspects of brain thread which fits to it. http://hppdonline.co...t-of-the-brain/ the orange is one of the best example for this but also these pictures in picture. here is an example ffor patterns in events: maybe you findthe murderer^^

yes thats the same i thought. it came suddenly one day and since then the shit is with me... but my symptoms dont kicked in simultaneously. trails and halos came after looking for it very strange. but i read at erowid that HPPD symptoms could be self induced by e.g. thinking about them?? but i was always able to see floaters even as child. dunno but i believe with closed eyes i allways saw static but maybe first after my psychodelic trips never cared about it... i think maybe these people who believe to be born this way has had a migraine status as child before they can remember?!

yesterday night i tiped the german word for visual snow (augenrauschen) into google. and i found alot of communitys where somebody asks if anybody alse can see this(not only in the dark). they also mentioned other symptoms like afterimages, starbursts and so on. they doesnt sound like it was very slight and they said it messes with their vision. these communitys were not only medical forums, they were computer forums, sport forums for example. mostly somebody asks if anybody can see this and there were alot of posts where people reacted like. uff i always thought this is the normal way everybody sees or after i read this i am also able to see this and now i cant stop seeing it. What do you think about this is this a normal form of cyberchondria or are these visual disturbances alot more common as we think. maybe alot of people seeing this way their whole life and never think about it as not normal? as we know the eye is far from a perfect visual media. look at these cheap camcorder they also have VS in its pictures maybe thats the same way our eyes work? also look at my case i first started noticing these disturbances after i was watching my sight.(Did a Dinner in the dark) while this i thought this must be the way a blind person have to lead their life. i was very high while this dinner so i got anxious.... i am only speaking of entoptic phenomenoms here e.g. VS, afterimages, blue field entoptic phenomenom, crystal worm floaters. not of color confusion or something like this.... what do you think about this?

never used benzos post HPPD but i could imagine thats the same "Hangover"-effect alkohol can give you. dont know about the effects of propranolol but i think nobody here is really effected by beta blockers. but i could imagine that beta blockers shouldnt be the first choice to treat anxiety the side effects could be really bad. edit: hmm here are some posts about propranolol http://thosewithvisualsnow.yuku.com/topic/6410/Beta-Blockers#.T6ywPlIuiSo seems to be no good choice if you have migraine with aura maybe so it is not a real good idea to take it with HPPD?!

i think if we get through the group stage we could make it to the final. but the group is very hard netherlands, potugal, Denmark. very upsetting that two of these great teams wont reach the final round. i always liked the netherlands hehe can i say this as a german?! also i liked the golden team of portugal.

i love english football its so tough but i think thats why they have problems at worldcups. the referees are to poofy (sry^^) would be great to see germany winning but i dont believe thats goin to happen. also the whole ukrainian political discussion is a big topic in our media. this is supressing the atmosphere.

my wife isnt able to cut mushrooms because she cant smell it since the mushi trips^^ i love uncooked mushrooms. i always loved the taste of philosophia stones tastes like nuts and truffle^^

arrg mate let it be^^ paffing a cigar might be ok sometimes, but these fucking cigarretts are one of the most addictive drugs on this planet if not the most. furthermore nicotine flashes are ugly^^

yeah keep on living there are blind people which can handle day to day life in a very good way. last week i saw a blind person in my favourite club. also waiting to get healed is not an good idea. if it will pass it will pass!
