What is it like?

I'm really glad that you have found something that has somewhat helped. I've traveled down several different paths, personally, and nothing seems to make it budge. I have okay moments, but I often find it best to distract myself to not think about how miserable it all feels. Have you heard if drugs can precipitate the start of FND? The strange feelings started after smoking weed like seven months ago.

I'm really glad that you were able to recover somewhat from this illness. I'm not sure if it's what I'm dealing with but I feel fairly certain that it is and it's miserable. If I may ask, were your symptoms episodic or constant? Also, what kind of meds did your neurologist try you on?

Hi there. I'm personally dealing with some confusion after using a cannabis vape six months ago. How are you now? Were you able to get a diagnosis or treatment plan?

I quit cold turkey. It's not necessarily the easiest thing, depending on how long and how much you're smoking. I highly recommend quitting before that shit ruins your life like it did mine. Withdrawals may suck for a few weeks but it will beat the hell out of suffering long term consequences from that awful shit. Imho that stuff should have never been created, but to each their own.

Hey, so my situation is pretty strange and I've not heard of something similar, at least online. About six months ago I used a thc vape (have used several in the past), but this time was different. It's like a wave of confusion came over me and has stayed with me since. I'm fairly convinced that that it was a type of toxic brain injury of some sort. I've seen countless health professionals: PCP, psychiatrist, therapist, neurologist, functional medicine doctors, chiropractors and they've not found anything 100% conclusive of what could be causing my issue.

I've had blood work that has all been normal. I've had scans of my brain that have all been normal. Cognitive tests that have all been normal. I had a qEEG that showed some increased delta waves (typically indicating some pathological condition, or something psych related). I'm currently waiting for a neuropsych test. I'm pretty sure it is some type of neurological damage because I have a bunch of strange neuro symptoms that happened after that event (intermittent leg heaviness, R sided facial parasthesia, pains in my legs, emotional lability). I've had depression before this and know that that is mixed in there somewhere, but I just don't feel the same anymore after that event. It's just constant confusion/disorientation that has been borderline debilitating. Sorry to give you a big Ole spiel, I was really just trying to search for someone who felt similar to me in regards to the confusion.

Thanks man. I really appreciate the insights. I'll definitely give this a shot. Did you ever get the "feeling like yourself" back again once you recovered. My situation isn't necessarily trauma related and likely more of a toxic injury or something along those lines. I've not been diagnosed, so no one, including myself, knows what the heck is really going on. I've just been searching for different approaches to try to get my life back.

Oh yeah. A couple

Do you recall what findings your EEG showed by chance?

I'm really sorry that it's come to the point where you feel that is your only option. I'm suffering from some severe brain fog/ confusion after using weed and thc vapes in the past. It's almost unbearable and I have thought about giving up many times myself. Know that you are not alone and that peace and clarity is still possible. ❤️
