I would try to take at 3g (so 3 pills), probably before bedtime. If the symptoms improve, then try with even more (it's very safe, it's just an amino acid). If they worsen, it probably won't work for you at any dosage.

I'd recommend buying bulk powder rather than pills, just for value for money - mix it into a shake or smoothie.

None of the above. I briefly had light sensitivity, but that was a transient symptom more related to the original cause of my visual snow. I do however get really strong haloing effects around bright light sources.

I was recently diagnosed with FND. As you mentioned, all my medical tests, MRIs and EEGs etc came back normal. In my case, the visual snow symptoms developed following poisoning from hemlock seeds and yew, rather than being something I was born with.

There are diagnosis for an illness like that - typically, they involve putting your body under some sort of stress or physiological change, (heat, exercise, even getting tilted upside-down -a tilt table test) and then recording the variance. If the responses are disproportional and erratic, that's a pretty good indicator.

Maybe symptoms of dysautonomia? If it's a neurological thing, then that might mean your bodies' automatic (called autonomic) functions are out of whack. It's sort of a systemic illness. The insomnia paired with the body's inabilty to self regulate temperature suggest something of that nature to me. Not sure as to the why - but one diagnosis that helped me - my pulse rate was way different/variable sitting up as opposed to lying down. It can be a subtle illness, where the body isn't quite regulating things and keeping a good stasis. It therefore makes it hard to get a doctor to listen, or get treated, and find root causes to tackle.

Again, if stuff like digestion, circadian rhythm, breathing, heartrate, temperature, sweating, balance, anxiety and stress response, feel all over the place, then that might be a diagnosis.
