Beefol

@Roman i was under Propofol for 1-2 hours, did nothing to my symptoms

I definitely still have some mild visual symptoms. I have never noticed BFEP before all of this and now i see it everywhere. Mild snow on smooth surfaces, pattern glare, sometimes closed eye visuals. And the ear stuff started in the 1-2 months after the shroom trips. And after massive anxiety.

Tinnitus is ringing in the ears and hyperacusis is a lowered tolerance against sound thats not too loud for people with normal hearing.

Hello everyone, I have a question about the onset of symptoms in HPPD. Is it possible for symptoms to start 1-2 months after the triggering trip? I consumed mushrooms in October 2022 and noticed mild visual symptoms 2-3 days after. This was followed by severe dizziness, head pressure and anxiety. It wasn't until January/February that I experienced the symptoms that cause me the most problems: Tinnitus and hyperacusis. However, since then I have been wondering whether the tinnitus and hyperacusis have anything to do with HPPD at all or whether they simply started by chance shortly afterwards. Because in the first 1.5 months after the trip, I haven’t noticed those symptoms at all.. stay strong!

Please read my posts! I had/ have major problems with hyperacusis and tinnitus after taking mushrooms one year ago. Would like to hear your story with it!

Was on 3x1000mg Amoxicillin for 30 days and there was no change on my symptoms.

I cant do anything for you man, but i know that the headpressure thing can absolutely get better. I think you have it much more severe than me, but after 9 months it’s totally gone. The brainfog too. Started to get better after 3-4 months, then times with flareups and then it slowly faded away. I know, its much longer for you. But for months i thought that my brain is permanently damaged. It wasn’t.

Maybe its lyme. I was bitten by a tick one month before my HPPD started. All the antibody blodtests were negative. A few days ago i made a skin-PCR from the skin where the tick bit me, and its positive af!

Thank you @Jay1 for your answer. Its the same for me and super debilitating. Was the onset of those symptoms right after the onset of your HPPD? For me, the hyperacusis is so strong that i am homebound 24/7. It flared up in February, then i got way better during end of march and april, lived relatively normal in may and June. Now its back like in february. You said that it comes in waves.. how long are these waves for you?

Thank you @Jay1 and @firehawk for your replies. @Jay1 could you describe this symptom a little bit better? Is it so severe that you can’t do anything without earplugs? It started 1-2 months after my visuals.. and my visuals are super, super mild in comparison to the baaaad hyperacusis..

I have no clue what you are talking about. English is not my motherlanguage, but the sentences just dont make sense.

Hi! Tinnitus is known to be a common symptom of HPPD. Has anyone here ever heard of hyperacusis, i.e. (extreme) noise sensitivity in the context of HPPD? I've been trying to figure out for months if my problem has something to do with my mild HPPD, or just happened to start in the 1-2 months after without any connection. Stay strong..

Thank you for answering @brake! All your symptoms decreased around 80% or just the tinnitus?

Hey @coolrunnings91, how are you now? Hope youre doing fine! Your post could spend much hope for new people in the forum!

Hey @Joseph06__, there is a good chance for you getting better if you stop all drugs immediately and for the rest of your life. Even Cannabis, Alcohol, Nicotine and maybe coffeine for a while. Try to eat healthy, do sports and distract yourself as much as you can. Try not to google that much. Anxiety is a big part of hppd and it can create symptoms that are comparable to hppd. Youll have a hard time now, but many people get much better after some time. Some ppl are totally healed after months or few years. And even if youre better. Never touch drugs or alcohol again. Sounds hard in the first place, but hppd can come back so much worse. stay strong
