Hi, my name's Andres. I'm not entirely sure if I'm posting this in the right area, but here goes!
About a month ago, I started experiencing what I believe to be the onset of HPPD (the symptoms seem to match perfectly), and it's got worse over the last two weeks. It seems to have plateaued so I'm hoping this will be my "baseline". I know with this disorder, it's a case of "your mileage may vary", but I just wanted to get some insight from people who have been dealing with this for some time.
1.) What medical channels did you go down to try and get help? I know medical professionals tend to be ineffective at best when it comes to this, but I would like to at least try. Am I better off pursuing a psychiatrist, a neurologist?
2.) Are there any scans that can definitively "show up" hppd in the brain?
3.) I know it's difficult to predict how the disorder might progress, but what can I realistically expect my quality of life to be like? In time, will I still be able to enjoy things like travelling, socialising, etc.
Thanks in advance to anyone who has any input, it's greatly appreciated, and I want to finish by offering my sympathy to anyone out there who's currently going through this.
Andres
