Hello,
My name is Helena and i am 32 years old. Three months ago during my second trimester my Visual Snow Syndrome symptoms started.
Well it got diagnosed by a dokter as VVS, while she googled the symptoms and its very obvious.
The symptoms are for me really deliberating, because i cannot do my job, or study or enjoy small things in life.
Non visual symptoms started a year ago: somatic/screaming tinnitus.
Three months later tremors in my legs.
Three months ago:
+ Palinopsia;
+ Vertigo;
+ Afterimmages;
+ Glare;
+ Sensitivity to light;
+ Static (during day and night/inside or outside)
+ All the phenomena, floaters etc.
+ Derealiasation;
+ Headdaches;
+ Colours are brighter, especially outside;
+ Eye strain;
+ Blurry vision;
+ Static when i close my eyes;
+ In ability to find the right words;
+ when i walk everything in my surrounding is in slowmotion and it moves;
+ No colourful hallicunations,;
+ vivid dreams;
I have spoken to some nice people and iam in doubt if it is VSS. I know its the same treatment for now, but i like to know.
I never used any drugs, weed, cannabis.
But 6 years ago i took dexafetamine 2,5 evry day for my adhd. (For a year)
Later i took zoloft a 150 mg each day for a year, later i tapperd off to 50 mg a day. I stopped a year ago, because my tinnitus started. Later i took clonazepam 0,5 once a week for some relief during this time, but i stopped when i found out i was pregnant. I also tried Mirtazapine for 5 days, a low dose, then i tapperd off. This all was 8 months ago.
I did have covid during my pregnancy.
So could my symptoms be VSS or HPDD related, i heard it can also come because of SRI,s, can it go away then?
Greets,
H
