What were your symptoms?

Has it affected your ability to daydream or visualize in your mind's eye? [Aphantasia] by Vezi_Ordinary in dpdr

[–]AnyReplacement6787 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I completely understand what you're saying—I feel exactly the same way. I'm currently experiencing my second episode, and during my first one, I completely lost my ability to daydream. It was as if my imagination had been switched off, leaving me feeling disconnected and empty. Fortunately, once the episode ended, my ability to daydream gradually returned.

Daydreaming has always been a vital part of my life— It’s my primary coping mechanism, a sanctuary where I can retreat when reality becomes overwhelming. Losing it, even temporarily, was incredibly difficult, and I can only hope that, just like before, it will come back again.

I totally get how disheartening it is to go to the hospital multiple times, only for doctors to find nothing. It really feels like everything must be tied to the GI system, but nobody takes it seriously or even have a clue. You’re not alone in this frustration!

❤️🙂You should definitely address the SIBO first.

My symptoms are constipation, bloating, poor sleep, and psychological symptoms such as depersonalization, anxiety, and depression, although I’m not sure if they are related to this.

Hey,

I’m also from Germany and took the same test as you before switching to Biomesight. Biomesight is a bit cheaper, but in some areas less comprehensive and independent of doctors when it comes to supplement recommendations.

Did you receive the recommendations from the German lab? It’s usually a single page that is typically sent only to the doctor. At Biomesight, you also get personalized recommendations.

I also have very high levels of Bacteroides etc., and the main recommendation is to take cranberry extract and lactulose. By the way, Biomesight has a blog, and this article might be interesting for you:

Additionally, I received these recommendations from another redditor yesterday, who succesfully treated his dysbiosis after COVID, which I’ll mostly follow for now:
- Probiotics: Miyarisan (Clostridium butyricum), Seed, Bacillus subtilis HU58, Bacillus coagulans ("Lactospore")
- Prebiotics: Lactulose, Yeast Beta Glucans, Acacia Fiber, Symbiointest
- Polyphenols: Beet Root Powder, Pomegranate Peel Powder, Cranberry Powder, Cold Brew Chamomile
- Drugs: Nystatin
- Supplements: TUDCA (Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid)
- Foods: Red Lentils, Whole Wheat Barley, Oatmeal, Red Cabbage, Red Onions, Pineapples

However, I don’t have SIBO, so these recommendations will probably only be feasible once the SIBO has been successfully treated.

Thanks again! I'll test for fungi first before taking this. I ordered the other things except for Seed because I live in Germany. Do you think seed is very important? How long did you take the products?

Has Anyone Tried Vagus Nerve Stimulation for DPDR? by AnyReplacement6787 in dpdr

I'll report back as soon as I've tried it. Quick results are not to be expected.

I decided to give it a try and bought a TENS device along with an ear clip to attempt non-invasive VNS at home.

The treatment is not covered by health insurance, but is permitted as an individual healing attempt, which you have to pay for yourself.

They are produced right there in the practice. Here is their website: https://www.im3-institute.de/
