CHOLINE. It worked for me.

I've been a lurker on this sub for some time. Checking in on old and new posts as I've attempted to solve the litany of vision issues I developed after the stomach flu last summer of 2024.

A quick rundown of my story, I had a bad case of the stomach flu (know it was this because entire family got sick as well and friends around the same time). The next day I woke up to extreme light sensitivity and extreme anxiety. This ended up culminating it a litany of visual symptoms and anxiety symptoms because I could not handle what was going on visually.

My symptoms: Visual snow Light sensitivity to all sources natural or not. Double vision Blurry vision Shaky vision Depersonalization/Derealization Delayed perception Floaters Flashing spots Eye pain/tired eyes

I'm sure there is more but that's the gist of it. First, I worked on my anxiety over several months, medication free. This helped me not care so much about my symptoms but it really bothered me from a logical standpoint that they were still there. Sure I could live my life and accept it all. But it was still hard some days. Especially the light sensitivity.

Now, let's get to the choline. I saw several posts on this forum and others mentioning choline as a supplement that might support repair or help the thalamus cortical system that some theorize is the problem behind vss.

So after a month of procrastinating I started taking an over the counter choline and Inositol supplement. I'm only in 4 days but I'm 95 percent symptom free. I say 95 percent because if I try really hard I can still see snow if I look directly up at the sky. My light sensitivity is GONE.

I want to thank everyone who posted on this forum about choline. You truly saved me from a lifetime of suffering. I'm hoping the change sticks.

But I'm cloud nine for now.
