wooshka Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 As you all know, there hasn't always been a certain link between HPPD and the genetic predisposition it may impose. I have some interesting facts to share with you, as you know, I have HPPD, but.. so does my brother. Another interesting fact is that my mother has suffered from Migraines basically since I can remember, now if this isn't something to do with genetics involving Migraines and or a predisposition, it's one hell of a coincidence. Please share your thoughts and I'll try and answer any question you have. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingbutbluntz Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 pretty weird coincidence seeing as my mother suffers from migraines since before I was born.. woah 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakeupyourdreaming Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 My mother also has always had migraines and has Visual Snow/HPPD so does my sister some folks are of course more geneticaly disposed then others 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disguyhere Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 look into the condition anti-phospholipid syndrome. it is very similar to lupus in that healthy cells are consistently attacked by the immune system. It causes a wide range of symptoms from micro heart attacks and strokes to predisposition for mental illnesses. its supposedly rare but gaining ground. My grandfather had it , my mom has it, and I have it... But the weird thing is my half sister (from fathers second marriage) has it as well. Somewhere in my dads family tree there was a recessive gene for it that passed over most of his family but hit me.. and my half sister.. but also hit me from my moms side.. i bring apls up because i am positive it put me at a severe disadvantage for permanent damage from psychedelics. call the genetics coincidence or call it another roll of the genetic die.. there is definitely the likelihood of genetic predisposition involved along the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooshka Posted November 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Do you think Migraines have any correlation in regards to the genetic predisposition of HPPD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duster Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 My mum is having migraines too and she had a 2 years DP-period right after my birth. Migraines are still there, the aura form. I had only two migraine aura attacks before getting HPPD. The correlation between these two disorders should be researched properly, I strongly believe there's a predisposition.

Jay1 Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Me and my brother did alot of our drug taking together.... He came out unscathed. My dad also did LSD in the 60s and you can tell he isn't quite there sometimes (though i haven't ever chatted to him about hppd) But, of course, genetics is not very straightforward. You could have 10 siblings with the predisposition, but it might only show up in one or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunderbuss89 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Both my Mom and Dad get migraines along with aura/flashes of light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
415_stylee Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Definately a genetic predisposition. My mother had visual disturbances of a milder degree, which were present from childhood to her death. She also had migraines in her youth. My sister has severe migraines several times a week, with half face paralyzation. My brother had migraines before. One uncle has epilepsy, he says he sees auras around objects prior to getting a seizure. And of course me, who had migraine with aura before getting HPPD. I was the one who was reckless enough to shovel down so much drugs that I got HPPD.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooshka Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 It's crazy, I never thought me and my brother would have HPPD, especially if it's such a rare neurological disorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WuWei Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 I believe HPPD is genetic. My dad claims to have mild HPPD. My uncle had it for over 10 years and it subsided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please share your thoughts and I'll try and answer any question you have. Migraines are VERY similar to epilepsy. And HPPD is a pre-seizure like state. So there are definitely parallels involved. Plenty of 'genetic' migraines and 'genetic' epilepsy. If you get a change, read Oliver Sacks book on Migraines. Also on Hallucinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaolinbomber Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 my mother also suffers from migraines with aura. It's a hell of a coincidence if it is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
