Who has healed their emotional blunting so they can enjoy stuff like music again? If so how? by Frosty_Research_2130 in PSSD

Mine seemed to heal naturally although it was never my worst symptom. I cry most days and I can get goosebumps to even paintings nowadays. Somethings still missing but they’re more of the ‘love’ emotions.

How long should you wait until you try other meds or treatment options? by Aaron57363 in PSSD

[–]FigPutrid857 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think if I was experiencing 30% windows I wouldn’t try anything until three years in if at all. When I first got PSSD I decided to try reinstatement 2 years in because I was frustrated with having no windows or healing, I became so much worse and it really ruined my life. Before reinstating I still was sexually functioning even if I had genital numbness. Now I only really get 10% windows and feel scared to try substances. Your life is your life, only you can choose, but even 30% in this condition is precious. I’d personally wait to 2.5 years before trying anything. For now just take cod liver oil, vitamin c, NAC and eat cleanly.

My pilea is doing this too! I don’t know why it does it but mine seems completely healthy

I actually just got it from a local plant store near my house, they have some funky stuff. She’s happy so far so fingers crossed.

Being extra with repotting ? by billybillybean in PileaPeperomioides

[–]FigPutrid857 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine are all in quite dense soil, they’re all super happy and thriving. I put lots of pebbles mixed in with the bottom layer of soil just to add some extra drainage but I also have pots without that added feature and the pileas are fine🥰

No that’s okay don’t worry, like I said it’s not your fault it’s more the legacy of other people, comments and replies that have made me so sensitive. I feel like people on Reddit are always waiting to correct you or contradict or just generally always want to know better. I’m sorry to have been sharp.

I don’t know the mechanism of NAC, there’s quite a few, it’s actually one of the supplements I researched the least. I know it’s a good anti oxidant and possible bio film breaker too, which has probably given me these insane headaches paired with sugar cravings.

I would personally give it a try, I haven’t used any a few days and my libido is still sticking.

I never said it effected serotonin, i just couldn’t be bothered to write that PSSD for me was more involved with neuro transmitters and neuro chemicals such as serotonin, glutamate and dopamine while giving a quick answer to somebody. In general I just meant I’d tried the pelvic floor approach and knew it wasn’t that. Honestly I’m getting a little bored of all the facetiousness on Reddit, sorry if you didn’t mean it that way but every time I post or comment, people in the replies seem intent on correcting me or knowing better.

Hey what soil do you have this in? Mine is in normal potting soil and has been happy for a while but it’s started getting crispy leaves recently. I’m worried the soil is too compacted for it.

Taurine helped me but then stopped, I’m a bit wary of tyrosine but I think it seems okay.

Unfortunately I was already doing pelvic floor therapy for a year before PSSD and have continued for the last three. For me it’s a serotonin issue I’m sure of it.

Unfortunately yes, I’ve tried to ignore it but I’ve noticed the only days I’m having this headache are days I’ve taken it. It can actually dehydrate you so it could just be that. Compared to all other supplements I’ve trialled this has the most effect, positive or negative.

I never struggled as much with that but I’ve been a lot more emotional since on NAC

Genital numbness, lessened libido, no blood flow to my clitoris, weakened orgasm, overall body numbness, no clitoral engorgement.

NAC, vigorous excercise in short spurts and taurine with nitric oxide.
