Do people get after images of bright lights for example if I see headlights after I blink I keep seeing like flashes after images of the light does this have a proper name or are these just classed as after images ???

When you say do I still feel like tipping do you mean would I want to do drugs again lol the answer would be no ima stay away from anything that makes me trip if you meant do I still feel trippy now lol I kinda just have visual snow and photophobia and after images little bit of DR

Well the surgeon who will be doing the operation is a very well respected and skilled surgeon the anethesitist haven't even got that far yet lol and yeah I have heard of the clinic it's in London which isn't too far from me but I don't really suffer with dr or dp anymore I may get the odd bit of dr but think I get that with the anxiety and light sensitivity my main issues are the sensitivity and visual snow if I got rid of them I'd be so happy

hey guys so people obviously can develop hppd from different drugs I know most people get it from LSD I myself got it from MDMA would this affect what medication should be tried to help cure it and would different things be more helpful to different types of hppd just a thought

Where you from I spoke to 3 gps about this shot and none of them had a clue so I pretty much self diagnosed myself but going to try and get reffered to a psychiatrist then maybe I'll be able to get some of the meds such as keppra klono and sinemet prescribed to try I'm from the uk btw they don't really have a clue hear

Thanky Emily I have checked out a few of these sites and I'd be going for the stomach wrap one but it does freak me out the thought of having the op due to the side effects I have read not being able to be sick or pass wind and what you said your friend got sounds horrible I have read that is a rare side effect and yeah I've tried everything from ginger to charcoal to provoking drinks even a glass of water can set me off some days it's ok other bot so good it's just annoying the wwaiting I have to go through with the nhs they've been hopeless definitely want to invest in some private healthcare in the future I wanna get this sorted then get refered to a neuro or psychiatrist and get some meds to help with the hppd but ATM I just wanna concentrate on one health problem at a time

Where your from is it easy to get descent weed then I might be going back to Amsterdam lol I can imagine it would be easy to find this strain as it would be like going into a pub and asking for a certain type of drink lol

This is fascinating stuff especially as I love a smoke haven't done it for ages due to wanting to recover and bot sure whether weed would effect it or slow down prospects of recovery plus alcohol is out the question as it really messes with my stomach even just like 3 or 4 drinks I'd really love to get high again and if CBd strains may be ok I'll be all over that I mean I smoked weed before whilst having hppd and it only ever made my hppd visuals worse just made the snow thicker whilst on it then symptoms returned to normal so makes me wonder if any weed would make this worse be interested to hear people experiences with hppd and weed

Hey Emily well I did look into these exercises but wernt sure if they would really work as there was no medical evidence to suggest it also spoke to the doctor about it he kinda disregarded it as for ppis I was taking them but they made no difference to my condition my reflux has be constant no matter what I eat drink or if I go without any food or drink some days are better than others in which I feel no effects really but the majority of the time I feel pretty crappy this has been going on for about 4 months now I just want to get the op as soon as possible to start recovery however the op does scare me as it stops you ability to be sick and stops you being able to burp even for a while but it hasn't resovled one bit over the last few months it sucks

My hppd is pretty mild now compared to what is was like a year ago I been completely sober now for about 6-8 months which is helping I do miss the smoking weed though I did it whilst I had hppd and it only made it worse while it was in my system then hppd returned to normal but decided to come off until the visuals completely reside I'm stuck with the damn visual snow and light sensitivity after images little bit of derealization I want to try some of the drugs recommended on this site maybe they will be the key

Yeah mg it sucks I had the camera down the throat and they found a hiatus hernia and it's causing reflux constantly all day everyday which stops me exercising and working can't catch a break with this health shit lol

Yeah I know how you feel pal I been there a time or two I got loads of shit going on I feel like my lifes on hold I can't do anything I used to due to a problem with my stomach and I'm waiting for an op that with the hppd really sucks I had some real low tomes in the last couple of months like deep dark fucked upthoughts I read a book funnily enough about changing thought patterns turning negative into positive thoughts and I been in better spirits I still have times where I feel despondent but the power of the mind in healing and doing well in life is paramount I would say try and think positively things could always be worse spend time with friends and family stay strong and try to truly believe there's light at the end of the tunnel you turn the negative thoughts into positive ones and try and do everything that's good for you good eating exercise that in itself will help read supplement up just do everything you can and you'll feel better hopefully anyway dude all the best

Hey dude yeah I watched your videos when I first got hppd funnily enough how is your hppd now what things have you done that have helped ?

Haha I have heard of them I'd find it horrible as my eyes are so sensitive to light lol but I saw a program about them and they seemed to help this woman who used it

Sorry to hear that dude cancer is a terrible disease but when they catch it early the chances of beating it are really high they caught it early with my grandad who had radio therapy and got it sorted he still has check ups every year or two it treatment might not be the nicest to experience but if it's life saving then that's what really counts all the best

Can totally relate this is by far one of the most irritating symptoms I offer with I find when I where sunglasses though if I take them off my eyes find the light unbearable it sucks I think starbursts and halos are part of the photophobia I'd be interested to know if there's anything other than sunglasses that might help

What is tramadol isn't that painkiller lol I been struggling with sleep lately which has affected my hppd but that's due to the stress and frustration of waiting to have an op the nhs suck they take forever

Cheers dude thanks for the encouragement hopefully your right and it's just a matter of time I been living healthy now for ages

Hey that's good that it's been diminishing over the past few years did you do anything to help it dissipate I have had it for about a year and a half and I'm mainly suffering with the visual effects the other stuff has gone for the most part if I could just kick this light sensitivity and visual snow I'd consider myself to be cured

Yeah sometimes when I have been watching tv or on my phone then turn all the lights off it's as if I'm seeing strobe lighting it's all flashing and when I look at the sky sometimes it's like I can see fireflies but they are bright White in light it's so weird

Yeah prolactin is the milk a chick produces ny mate done roids and started milking haha my uncle takes pregablim for a brain injury have you noticed any good results from it duty ?

Yeah man I have blue eyes I was reading there's these supplements you can buy to help with light sensitivity which I may try not sure how successful it will be though as this isn't a problem with the eyes but more with the brain and electricity sometimes when I close my eyes it's almost like I can see electric currents not jus VS and when I close my eyes and look at the sun It like flashes slowly like all lines as if I can see all the lines on my eyeball lol it's weird the symptoms of this stuff can be hard to describe lol

Yeah mate the thing is people need to be more informed about this sort of thing if I'd of known there was a chance of this hppd thing I'd of probably been like fuck it I ain't even gonna try it the fact everyone was saying ecstasy is so safe and people only die when they drink too much o thought well I'll be sensible with drinking but it obviously didn't agree with me lol so got kinda screwed but I'm hopeful I'll beat it my issues is mainly visual snow even if doctors don't cure this directly I reckon theyll discover a cure either through parkinsons VS or pms research plus I haven't even tried any drugs like klono or keppra yet need to find a uk doc just trying to stay positive I had some dark days with this shit like felt really depressed had thoughts of suicide not that I ever would but I'd never of even thought shit like that before man
