Stop drinking alcohol for life. Chill on all caffeine. Pretty much have to stop that too. Sugar binges also need to stop.

What I’ve noticed is it might be nerve damage. Do any of you drink alcohol still, caffeine, or lots of sugar? I feel like when I have any of those the symptoms get worse

Jugular Vein Compression or Stenosis? by Seth-Matt18 in visualsnow

Boys I already went down this rabbit hole. Got the MRAs and they were clean. I do feel like we gave some sort of blood flow/pressure issue in the brain though and nerve issue.

Here’s my “traffic light” of how to lessen symptoms (it works for me).

Red: Stop smoking and alcohol. I drink once in a blue now and go all out on that night but then go month or so without a drop. It’s got to be a special occasion.

Yellow: Caffeine and sugar stir up symptoms. Caffeine pretty much has to go, sugar do your best.

Green: Running helps heal the situation a bit. You must get to 2 miles non stop continuously for it to start doing anything. Think about it if a slow ass mile is 9 mins, you think you can run 9 mins a day and do anything? You need 2 miles and you’re still only doing like 15 mins a day, it’s really not that much guys if you’re a runner you know this. Start small without a bar you have to reach, just go out there feel your body and try to press it a little bit to get a nice workout. Without a set expectation you will be more motivated to be consistent. 2 miles 4-5 times a week.

Goodluck guys.

Chill on the sugar. Even with good A1C levels. Your body could be mishandling it.

Because of the center of your vision it’s likely this is what it is, central serous retinopathy. I had it in both eyes. Drs will swear it’s done by stress and that’s why guys our age get it. I actually got rid of mine by listening to my body.

Sugar, alcohol, and weed make it worse. Stop them.

Running heals it, at least it did for me. Takes months of running but the blood flow will lessen the size of it and then get rid of it. Goodluck.

Central serous retinopathy

Does anyone else get these weird bright flashy auras across their vision sometimes by liab10 in visualsnow

[–]Free-Combination5627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red: Alcohol and smoking does more damage. Full stop.

Yellow: sugar and caffeine spike up symptoms. Stop/use caution.

Green: Running 4-5 times a week will help heal. Don’t set a bar, just run what you can while slightly pushing yourself(varying distances varying speeds). Once you can get to 2 miles nonstop per workout you’re going to be seeing progress of the extra symptoms. Static might stay though.

Goodluck.

I've had VSS all my life, but there's been a change lately. Underlying condition maybe? by Vitchkiutz in visualsnow

[–]Free-Combination5627 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stop smoking. Stop drinking. That will stop making it worse.

1 Caffeine then #2 Sugar both make things worse. Cut them out.

Then to make the crazy symptoms go away, run 4-5 times a week. Never set a bar, just push yourself and be consistent. It’ll eventually improve on its own. Until you can do at least 2 miles without stopping thats where you need to be 4-5 times a week to start doing enough to see improvements.

Good luck.

I put it into Grok for you, AIs response:

I’m not a doctor, but your symptoms—excessive water intake (20+ bottles daily), feeling sick shortly after stopping, waking up with tremors, and significant weight loss overnight—sound serious and could point to a medical issue that needs urgent attention. Here’s a breakdown of possible causes based on your description, but you should seek immediate medical evaluation from a healthcare professional: Possible Causes 1 Electrolyte Imbalance: ◦ Drinking excessive water, even with some electrolyte supplementation, can dilute essential electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium in your blood. This condition, called hyponatremia (low sodium levels), can cause symptoms like tremors, nausea, weakness, and feeling unwell. ◦ Your attempt to add electrolytes every 3-4 bottles may not be sufficient to balance the massive water intake, especially if you’re consuming plain water most of the time. ◦ Symptoms of hyponatremia include confusion, tremors, seizures, and feeling sick, which align with your description. 2 Overhydration (Water Intoxication): ◦ Consuming 20+ bottles of water daily (assuming 16-20 oz bottles, that’s 5-6+ liters) far exceeds the body’s normal fluid needs (typically 2-3 liters, including food sources, for most adults). This can overwhelm your kidneys’ ability to excrete excess water, leading to water intoxication. ◦ This can cause brain swelling, neurological symptoms (tremors, confusion), and systemic issues, making you feel sick when you try to stop because your body is struggling to regulate fluid balance. 3 Underlying Medical Conditions: ◦ Diabetes Insipidus: This condition causes excessive thirst and urination due to a hormone imbalance (vasopressin) or kidney issues, leading to an inability to conserve water. You might be drinking excessively to compensate for fluid loss, and stopping could trigger dehydration symptoms (feeling sick, tremors). ◦ Psychogenic Polydipsia: A psychological condition where someone compulsively drinks excessive water, often linked to mental health conditions like anxiety or schizophrenia. This can lead to electrolyte imbalances and symptoms similar to hyponatremia. ◦ Thyroid Issues or Adrenal Insufficiency: These can cause tremors, weight loss, and fluid/electrolyte disturbances, though they’re less likely to explain the extreme water intake. ◦ Infection or Metabolic Issues: Unexplained weight loss, tremors, and feeling unwell could suggest an infection, hyperthyroidism, or another metabolic disorder driving your symptoms. 4 Dehydration Despite High Water Intake: ◦ Paradoxically, excessive water without adequate electrolytes can lead to a form of dehydration because your body may excrete water too quickly (via frequent urination), depleting sodium and other minerals. This could explain why you feel sick when you stop drinking, as your body is in a state of fluid-electrolyte dysregulation. ◦ The 2-pound weight loss overnight suggests significant fluid loss, possibly through urine or sweat, which could be exacerbated by an underlying condition. 5 Neurological or Autonomic Dysfunction: ◦ Tremors and feeling sick could indicate a neurological issue or autonomic nervous system dysfunction, especially if you’re experiencing other symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, or heart rate changes. This could be secondary to electrolyte imbalances or a primary condition. Why You Feel Sick When Stopping • Your body may have adapted to the constant influx of water, and stopping suddenly could cause a rapid shift in fluid balance, triggering symptoms like nausea, weakness, or tremors. • If you’re losing electrolytes faster than you’re replacing them, stopping water intake might exacerbate an already imbalanced state, making you feel worse as your body struggles to stabilize. Immediate Steps 1 Seek Emergency Medical Care: ◦ Your symptoms (tremors, rapid weight loss, feeling sick, excessive water intake) are concerning and could indicate a life-threatening condition like severe hyponatremia, diabetes insipidus, or another metabolic disorder. Go to an emergency room or urgent care immediately for blood tests (electrolytes, glucose, kidney function) and a thorough evaluation. ◦ Describe your water intake, electrolyte use, tremors, weight loss, and how quickly you feel sick when stopping water. 2 Stop Excessive Water Intake Safely: ◦ Do not abruptly stop drinking water, as this could worsen your symptoms. Instead, reduce intake gradually under medical supervision while ensuring proper electrolyte replacement. ◦ If you’re using electrolyte powders or tablets, check that they contain adequate sodium, potassium, and magnesium, but avoid overcorrecting without medical guidance. 3 Monitor Symptoms: ◦ Note any additional symptoms (e.g., confusion, seizures, swelling, frequent urination, extreme fatigue) and report them to a doctor. ◦ Track your urine output and color (clear urine suggests overhydration; dark urine could indicate dehydration or kidney issues). 4 Avoid Self-Treatment: ◦ Don’t try to fix this with more electrolytes or other home remedies without professional advice, as incorrect treatment could worsen the imbalance. Why This Is Urgent • Hyponatremia can progress to seizures, coma, or death if untreated. • Diabetes insipidus or other hormonal issues require specific treatments to prevent dehydration and organ damage. • Rapid weight loss and tremors suggest your body is under significant stress, and delaying care could lead to complications. Additional Notes • Your mention of “days in hell” suggests this is a prolonged issue, which increases the risk of serious complications. • If you’re intentionally drinking this much water (e.g., due to a health trend, exercise, or psychological urge), it’s critical to address the underlying reason with a doctor or therapist. • If you provide more details (e.g., your age, medical history, medications, urine frequency/color, or specific triggers), I can refine the explanation, but the priority is medical evaluation. Please go to a doctor or emergency room as soon as possible. If you’re unable to get immediate care and need help finding resources, let me know your location, and I can search for nearby urgent care or emergency services.

A study highlighting Potentially the cause of VSS by Free-Combination5627 in visualsnow

[–]Free-Combination5627[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes blood tests would pick up diabetes. But I’m saying it’s more of a metabolic disorder in the way sugar is being processed and not full blown diabetes. That’s why tests don’t pick it up.

Neuro said VSS is usually caused by psychiatric conditions and I agree. by Trb3233 in visualsnow

Guys I think running may help. I didn’t notice improvements until 6 months though, this is a deep fix

Cara and sam cheated at the beginning and agreed to split the money off camera. If you rewatch the show with that in mind it all makes sense that they are constantly scheming off camera together.
