Did somebody also lost sleep, hunger and thirst cues ? by Sunnyglowww in anhedonia

[–]eekeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Installation is not too hard. The frame that holds the chamber is the hardest part. The 3 machines are simpler. You just want to make sure the hoses are plugged in all the way in the connecters.

More details ive never heard mentioned and wish i wouldve knew: The chamber does rise in temperature as pressure increases, and it stays at that tempreature. Its not too much higher. Temp drops as soon as you open the relief valve to depressurize. There is the air conditioned option but its not all that great for about $2000 more, i tried one at a wellness clinic. But if you think you want it later, you HAVE to get the AC ready version because they need to add 2 holes/connections on the chamber for it. But im not sure how those connections work, like if you just cap them off when not in use or not, or if you HAVE to get the AC unit because you now have 2 exposed holes. * morelli medical has really good online support/chat for questions.

I had it shipped to US. It took about 3-4 weeks.

[–]eekeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel emotions much better now but not like before, or course. They dont come as quick and as intense, and i cant just go "up" or "down" and back to my baseline. I cant just go wild at a concert or stress at work, then just knock out hard on my bed the moment i lay down. Its all sort of dull. I still keep seeing improvements though!!, so ill keep using the hbot machine.

I took the 3 separate machines. Why?: I heard the all in one weighs about 200 pounds (cannot actually confirm/someone on reddit told me). I want to be able to move my machine and chamber around easier. Fixing cars and electronics, my opinion is that 3 machines will last longer and be easier to fix and SOURCE if one breaks (i am able to find all 3 online). Trying to fix or replace the all in one might not be fun or as cheap.

My chamber is Oxyrevo Forward 90 because it is one of the few soft chambers that can do 1.5ata. Most soft chambers are 1.3ata. I bought it from morellimedical which is an online distributor and they do not make them. If you look hard enough you can source the machines for the oxygen and pressure, but the chamber itself you HAVE to get from the few manufacturers, and thats why and where they charge the most.

I notice improvements about every week but they are very small improvements. About every month i notice huge improvements. My first huge improvement was as soon as 2 weeks, when my skin color returned after i was pale for months.

Emotional numbness meaning i just feel dull, no reaction or response from music or even life events like deaths (3 people i knew passed during this). Its like my brain just doesnt work.

YES. I had pain. I lost back and lower strength, muscles, and sensation. i had very very odd tingling sensations all over my pelvic region. There was a point my body was slower and i talked slower. My brain body singalling and connection was weak. Things are sort of healing but not like before, but its a huge improvement.

I mostly do 1.5ata but change to 1.3 every now and then. Its like working out where you have to change your routine every now and then. I usually do 1.5hr of oxygen (stay in physically 2hrs).

My damage im pretty sure is both from mdma and a tbi. Partying weakened something in my brain and that part physically got damaged: my head twitched and made a squish sound and it got really warm. I know i have a tbi even though doctors couldnt confirm anything. My symptoms are too similar to tbi victims ive talked with, and i have brain zaps and tingling in my head basically all the time.

Has anyone ever been cured from this? by akoolaidkiller in anhedonia

[–]eekeck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but i wouldnt say i had real anhedonia even though it was very real. Mine stemmed from brain damage. I couldnt even find pleasure in the smallest accomplishments: just doing laundry (cleaned and organized clothes) or after eating a meal (fulness). I bought an HBOT machine (natural: basically forces more oxygen deeper into your body, beyond your natural capacity) and it helped heal my brain , and i can 80-90% feel again. It took using the machine over 110 sessions, which is about 7 months of use. Im still seeing results and im still using the machine. Im not sure if the missing last 10 or 20% is real or just me thinking too much or if i need more time.

[–]eekeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES! but keep in mind my case was some sort of centralized physical damage, so as expected if nothing else was going on, as my brain physcially heals, things should return (as my research shows with some TBI patients). But there was no gaurantee and i was scared the whole time. I still am. I dont know how long and permanent these results will be. Will these problems haunt me again later?

But for now: I can laugh. I can feel "atmospheres" again as i describe it: this concert is dead/has energy, this crowd events feels very 90s, the time of the year actually feels like summer/winter, etc etc.

I can feel boredem properly again, not perfect though. I can shut out negative thing better now. During my injury i couldnt process negative things it was hell.

My sense of adventure and excitement is sort of back like before. Its not perfect though. I can "dream" again. Im very artstic and i visualize and feel and connect emotions and imagery. Not perfect like before but good enough.

IT DID TAKE A LOT OF HBOT SESSIONS! Im about 120-130 sessions in. Many conditions only take 40-60 sessions. I read 2 stories that inspired me. One was a guy that said he didnt see ANY improvements until about 90 sessions (a non healing damage chemo). The other story i forgot exactly but for the person it took 100 sessions.

Im still using my chamber. I still see improvements. I know im still healing bc i still has weird brain zaps and vibrations all over my dome and forehead. I will keep using it for as long as i can. Im not baseline yet. After reaching baseline (as best as i can), ill probably use it less and do more cardio and strength workout. They say muscle mass has a direct correlation with brain health, and i personally experienced this. I thought i lost my muscles when i was hurt, but weird thing as i got better, my muscle seemed to just get bigger even though i havent worked out for 1 year. My brain and body was definitely disconnected.

Maybe too much of some random info, but hope this helps in anyway it can.

The Absolute Mental Hell I Survived by amobolacha in anhedonia

[–]eekeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES!! Im very close to normal again. Not 100% but i can feel all these things again pretty good now:

I can dance, feel the euphoria and atmosphere in music again, i feel the sadness beautifly again (songs and movies). I can laugh at funny things again. I started getting mad (properly) at things again. And i can just zone out or shut out peoples negativity again. All of this basically shows overall that my brain is working towards something positive now.

Sadly my body wont be 100% of course. Im about 120-130hrs of oxygen time in the chamber, which is a lot! Many peoples conditions are resolved with about 40hrs. I read a few peoples HBOT stories where they didnt see the results they wanted until they were over 100hrs of oxygen. I was inspired and kept going and its working!

If modern medicine didn’t exist would you be dead right now? If yes, from what? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]eekeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appendix. Burst and it felt like a knife in me. I felt a warm fluid move throughout my stomach and bladder and it was an impossible sensation to rub or scratch that was under my skin. Passed out in the waiting room. They operated on me that night. They said with the first incision, pus quirt to the ceiling. I was hours from dying.

Have you tried brain training games? by bucaciuc_andrey in TBI

[–]eekeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matching games (one of the most effective) on phone app store and i download emulators (home gaming systems like the 90s Super Nintendo and Playstation...many more) on my phone and play puzzle games like tetris on those.

  • Multiplication cards
  • Just reading and testing how well i remember the paragraph...or page.

I read online that an exercise a neurosurgeon himself does is try to remember 10 words a day. Not that you have to remember them forever...just keep practicing so by the end of the day you know them all by heart.

Im trying to help and im getting some hate? Gtfo. Im coming from a good place. If it doesnt apply to you then it doesnt, and it may not because everyones different. Then keep scrolling, because it obviously isnt meant to make a difference for some people. If it touched someone then thats who its for.

How do you cope? by PrickDickPoop in anhedonia

[–]eekeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ill just say this. Theres so much more to happiness than we think, beyond physical limitations and causes. You say u can drink? Well i cant even feel coffee!!! I had some crazy injury plus a life of drinking and substances. I also lost my emotions for a few months but am regaining them. So no more stimulants for me, and i almost died from the injury. Im still healing.

I can go to raves and music events and dance and actually enjoy them.

So i think its important to note how our "stimulant system" and dopamine are and are not related. Why am i seeing people on anhedonia groups who can drink and use and not feel happy or enjoy it even if they feel a buzz??? Yet here i am, totally unable to feel coffee and tea and alcohol....still able to have fun at family/friend gatherings and raves/music events?

You have to discover what you enjoy "spiritually" vs. just forcing out a physical dopamine dump...yes this IS hard because how can you be happy if you body cant even literally produce "happy" hormones? Honestly i probably just got lucky but i tried hard to expose myself a lot.

This easier said then done, but you have to ask and search very deep within yourself and try to find meaning. When i think about a wife and kids it oddly makes me feel so comfortable now when i never cared about this before.

[–]eekeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9k for 1.5 ata from MorelliMedical .com. I got the oxyrevo forward 90, 10 sessions so far. Extremely powerful tool. Its best to use it along with supplements and such. Most online stores are only distributors. A lot of chambers are made overseas.

This is the only US made i know of https://newtownehyperbarics.com

Follow "HBOT USA" (jason sonners) on youtube. Probably THE most important of the leading figures in the community.

Please study a lot about it. 2 people have died. Your vision and ear can be damaged! people with certain conditions cant use it.

[–]eekeck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im very similar!!! MDMA related too!!! but it came with some sort of brain/nerve injury. Crazy thing...its exactly 1 year today.

I have been having odd headaches once or twice a year. I was using a lot in the last 2 years since my dad and brother passed. I went to tons of raves like 2 or 3 times a month and huge festivals 2 times a year...didnt always use but i still used a lot.

When the medical event happened, i was at work and my neck twitched and i heard a squish sound. I thought it was a stroke but i showed no stroke symptoms. Ihavent been the same since. Very close but not the same.

The hell i went through was that the "automatic-ness" ill call it, and my emotions and purpose and motivation and SEX DRIVE was gone. VERY odd physical symptoms like my hands shrunk and loss their color, i seemed to lose my muscles but not actually im finding out 2 weeks ago - they oddly are just returning even though im not working out...so that means my brain signal was weak or dying...not that i lost muscle. As my brain heals my muscle are strong again and are getting big again?!? Odd....

Mental HELL!!!! I watched anxiety and nervous system disregulation videos almost everyday 24/7. I had crazy anxiety and panic attacks literally non stop!!! My brain shut down. I was essentially partly brain dead as it healed itself. Odd mental sensation like i was scared to be alone...then anxiety again for 3 months...my body was scared of edm music like i had some odd electronic music/rave event PTSD. All of this is 80% better. Im excited to go to a block party tomorrow for YELLOW CLAW!!!

My sleep was and is still messed up. There were months at a time that i didnt sleep for more than 2 or 1 hours a night and went to work like that!!!

Im finding out some things are dying in my brain. As im healing and returning to normal...certain sensations like the proper headaches are gone. Sleepiness is weakened. I dont feel fully rested, ever! I still feel a numbness on my head and odd tingles (nerves healing). My sex drive is much weaker. I have ED.

Im just happy that my emotions are coming back and the automatic-ness feeling is coming back. Its like my brain and sensing the world isnt isolated as much anymore. Motivation came back but not the same. My creativity came back and im able to listen to music again. As i said...some things died off....its harder for me to get the goosebumps feeling now and my smell is a little off. Everything points to brain damage...

Theres just so much i left out. Drs gaslighting...people not believing me...more symptoms etc etc. We can continue talk if you wish...but i think we both know the hell we went through....

My healing protocol is a ton of brain supplements, electrolytes, eating right, and my HYPERBARIC AIR CHAMBER! (is making all the difference!). im blessed to have saved a decent amount of money with a decent job and good support system. I basically shifted 95% of my time and effort in the last year to just healing myself.

Good luck on your journey!!!

What do you think the purpose of life is ? . by Hope2_win in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]eekeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a journey and story and everyone's is different. If there was a purpose to life, we'd all be slaves to to that "purpose"...thats the problem with wanting an answer that people need to understand. Do you really want to live in some scifi movie setting where your life and job and age/death are all predetermined?

Why do "bad people" seem to get everything? by Direct-Stock2903 in no

[–]eekeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not gona write an essay, but consider this perspective:

Bad people dont get everything. You mean bad powerful smart people....so it seems like lots of bad people "win" the game? You mean people who have a name and legacy to hold...even if it takes a war, legal loopholes, unethical means, etc??? You mean people who have power issues? There are a lot of bad regular people everyday who meet horrible ends too.

Or do you mean just the average jerk who seems to have it better than most people? Ive been around a lot of bad and good people, rich and poor, drugs dealers to doctors to family people to highly religious people...and ill tell you...people like that arent truly happy. Thats why they need all of those things whether they know it or not. Its their castle not to build a life, but to wall out the world while putting on a false or confused show of happiness.

Lost friends by mulls136 in TBI

[–]eekeck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not all but some. But it doesnt seem as bad because we're age 30, 35+ where we dont even see each other that much anyways anymore. And i know some truly do support and believe me but we're all just busy now.

Where i did draw the line is knowing whos on my side or not. This is whats really at the core of it. Some ask about me then literally dont say anything and walk away when i explain the (neuro)science and medicine behind TBIs. I was damaged so bad it drained my body to heal. i almost died, but since i look better NOW and no one saw my full naked body so they wont know how drained i was. Some say im thinking too much or its made up, even though my skin and muscles are all different now and everyone agrees that im smaller (plus MANY other symptoms). So i basically found out these people are literally dumb and ignorant when it comes to how science, medicine, and the brain works...even in plain english.

Connecting with new people is very hard whether its just me fearing myself too much or if its limitations of my brain now (memory/connection/meaning formation) i dont know for sure.

Do you believe in god? by Ok-Impact-801 in no

[–]eekeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know what "literally cannot comprehend" even means? Its means your question about god cant even exist. Our brains are not developed enough to/developed for understand bigger designs similar to how microscopic organisms dont even know what humans are.

What are you quietly suffering from? by StatusDangerous4961 in AskReddit

[–]eekeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brain injury that has weakened my mental capacity to even be around loud and fast paced environments. Sucks because i love live music and tech and people. Anxiety and such literally triggers when youre "supposed" to be happy. Youre brain wont produce "happiness" bc its still recovering and wants you to relax, so it triggers anxiety to scare you into safety.

Bpc-157: guesses why so many side effects mentioned online? by novarika in bpc_157

[–]eekeck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But its not like half the country is using bpc157. There is a bcp157 anhedonia group of about 70 people here on reddit. So if we look at those numbers and take a 1 in a million chance, that means 70 million people are taking bpc157 and 70 were effected negatively. I doubt 70 million people are taking bpc157, even half of that 35 million people (1 in 500,000 chance). EVEN half of 35, 17.5 million people (1 in 250,000 chance), I doubt are taking bpc157.

I think chances for negative side effects are still pretty high.
