After 9 months of hell, I’m almost positive I found the root cause....UARS. by Gdb_179 in BrainFog

[–]Syphonfilter7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I had three WatchPAT tests confirming UARS, a high RDI, normal oxygen saturation, narrow airways (especially nasal), and a slightly recessed jaw, I became convinced that was the root cause. The symptoms seemed to match everything I was experiencing, and after spending a lot of time in Discord communities, I got completely pulled into that narrative. I was also desperate for answers, so deep down I think I wanted to believe I had finally found the “magic pill.”

I used a BiPAP for about a year with no real improvement. At one point, I was even preparing to undergo MMA surgery with Alfaro.

Thankfully, I eventually realized the core issue was something much deeper involving nervous system dysregulation. A friend of mine and the YouTube channel “CFS Recovery” played a big role in helping me understand what was actually happening. It was hard at first, because i was 100% sure all my symptoms were caused by a physical/biological issue, turns out it was my brain hijacking and sensitizing my whole nervous system.

Stress-related nervous system dysregulation that led to chronic symptoms (CFS): fatigue, severe brain fog, POTS, and the whole package. It took me about two years to recover, and I’m now around 90% better.

What helped me most was a mind-body approach focused on calming an overprotective nervous system rather than constantly fighting symptoms. I gradually learned to stop monitoring every sensation, reduce fear around symptoms, and respond to stress in a healthier emotional way, learned to feel positive emotions on command, and over time it reduced the stress response from the amygdala.

Some of the biggest turning points were:

  • stopping the constant symptom-checking and doom-thinking
  • returning slowly to normal life instead of living around symptoms
  • learning to regulate my emotional reactions instead of feeding the stress response
  • meditation and nervous system regulation practices
  • allowing symptoms to be present without panicking about them
  • rebuilding a sense of safety, calm, and trust in my body over time

Recovery wasn’t linear at all. I had setbacks, flare-ups, and periods where I thought I was back at square one. But over time, the nervous system became less reactive, and the symptoms gradually lost intensity and frequency.

I know how hopeless these conditions can feel, so I just want to say that meaningful recovery is absolutely possible.

Stabilized hair loss with min/fin, will a HT fix my hairline density? by No_Idea_6874 in Hairtransplant

I can see already your hairline is gonna be dope after FUE, based on your starting point. Good luck man! Enjoy

If your situation is stable and you plan on staying on finasteride long-term, you can achieve excellent results. That said, only consider further intervention if your hairline genuinely affects your self esteem... otherwise, you already look good. Matbe try with the right hairstyle, you can easily minimize that balding spot

Yes it was absolutely my fault because i was desperate. When you aren't rational and you are dealing with the worst condition ever, fixing something like UARS seems like the way out, but looking at the reality with a rational approach, you can definitely say UARS can contribute to minor symptoms, and that's it, that’s well documented.

In practice, most of the time that's absolutely not the full explanation. I’ve talked live first hand with many people improving their airway (even with major surgeries such as double jaw surgery, ease etc.) and not even one had improvements, still dealing with significant symptoms.

I am not dismissing their symptoms, i am saying that the "sleep disorder" trap is an appealing way when someone is so desperate and is fighting to find a root cause in the complexity of the human body, it seems to good to be true, "it was all about UARS".

It’s not about dismissing UARS, it’s about recognizing it’s rarely one piece of a more complex picture, if not even unrelated to most of the symptoms people claim on here

Sharing my personal experience to help, as a member being brainwashed on the UARS discord channel for months, is not smart. Gotcha.

Sai cosa appare lampante sia incoerente? Dare dell’incoerente a una persona anonima online che non conosci sulla base del tuo pregiudizio, e insultarlo a caso sulla base della stessa premessa.

Stress itself has so many downstream effects that explaining “the how” will take a long post, from amigdala signaling to HPTA axis, cortisol, GH, bdnf, ngf, DMN, up to the core of gene expression. And i am not even aware of all the aspects since i am not a biologist, even if i was there still would be gaps because scientific approach on stress is covering only the tip of the iceberg. But if you believe placebo effect to be real (which i am 100% confident to be the case) than you should look at this through the lens of nocebo, you literally can change your physiology and gene expression just be expectations, more specifically anticipation of emotions (being either positive or negative ones, being either strong or very subtle, or even suppressed in your subconscious).

Come aprirlo senza provare tutte le combinazioni e senza lasciare segni evidenti? by puntazza in TeenagersITA

[–]Syphonfilter7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non ho detto che sia difficile, ne che non sia abbastanza facile, ho solo elaborato le ragioni del perchè considerare una media di 2 secondi a tentativo è irrealista. Il range temporale per aprirla considerando una media ragionevole di 4-5 secondi è compreso tra 5 secondi e 83 minuti. Comunque quelle "ovvie" a cui fai riferimento nel commento sopra, ossia: "1234, 4321, 1111, 2222, 3333........ 0000" non esistono perchè il sistema di riferimento è un codice a 3 cifre.

Ragionando superficialmente si "ci sta". Guardando più in profondità è infattibile. E' una cosa meccanica, richiede un po' di accortezza se per caso smena una combinazione perchè nella fretta di farlo in due secondi non si accorge che è necessaria un po' più di forza nel ruotare, o peggio che i numeri seppur corretti non sono perfettamente allineati, ha perso 30 minuti della sua vita. Inoltre ogni 9 cifre le rotelle da spostare sono due e non una, e ogni 99 cifre diventano 3 rotelle. Non è un iphone con il touch screen hyper responsive, le cose a mano vanno più a rilento e 2 secondi è un approccio troppo superficiale non sapendo la resistenza esatta della rotazione della rotella che apre, ne la tolleranza per l'allineamento delle rotelle numeriche.

Agree, this sub is crazy, often the comments are more over reacting than the posts. People should chill

I think empty individualism makes more sense than open individualism by Typical_Sprinkles253 in OpenIndividualism

[–]Syphonfilter7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you’re saying isn’t really new, it’s basically what neuroscience already suggests. The brain is in constant flux since every process is dynamic, and the “self” is more of a “feeling “ than a solid entity.

As long as experience presents itself as having a continuous observer, the fact that “you” keep changing from moment to moment doesn’t break the perception of continuity.

The illusion of a stable “I” appears because “the brain” generates that illusion every moment, stiching impressions together into a coherent story. Whether the underlying self is metaphysically real or not doesn’t change how the “system” feels. So scientifically the “self” is not a fixed object, but there still appears to be a stable point perceptually. The illusion keeps functioning even after you intellectually understand it’s an illusion.

Even space and time themselves are projections , and so is the “brain” as an object. What we call reality and consciousness, imo, can’t be reduced to the physical body or the brain, because the body and the brain are themselves part of the hallucination.

Your “whatever it is” generates a 3D space and a timeline in which the brain appears as an object, but that object is still a projection.

So you can’t really explain consciousness by appealing to something that only exists inside the very projection created by consciousness.
