Thought I would just check back in with you guys. Some of you may remember that in March I took 1 pill of Phosphaditylserine and had a tremendous reaction. Since then I have been in the worst, most horrifying experience of my life. I've had a plethora of symptoms since then but ill just mention the ones that still remain now.
-Severe dissociation and cognitive function loss. I am 28 and have to move back in with my parents because I can't live alone anymore I am so disconnected and troubled cognitively
-severe mental fatigue. Doing even as much as walking makes my brain fatigue worse and my mental condition will decline, yet every time I decline I don't bounce back
-exercise intolerance. Trying to walk in a park or climb a hill or anything and I will feel like I'm about to black out and feels like my muscles are going to rip off my bones.
-bright light sensitivity. All the time
-Apathy
-motor function and proprioception problems
-sleep pattern problems. This one is weird- the more energy i exert in a day, the earlier I wake up.

This whole thing has been progressive and I, like I said, am now unable to care for myself and am waking up at 4:30 am every day. My metal function and aquity has declined so dramatically that I can't even tell how detached I am anymore. I am unable to be alone because the disconnect is too thick.

Turns out I have a virus in my brain. The PS crossing the blood/brain barrier and dropping my cortisol allowed the virus to get in and is now wreaking havoc. I was put on antivirals and they started to work briefly but did not stick. I'm now going through a plethora of more tests to see which virus specifically it is and hopefully treat it. The doctors, however, haven't given me a good outlook on making a recovery in mental function. They have suggested encephalitis or encephalopathy. Apparently these viruses love nerve tissue and there's plenty in your brain.
My battle with adrenal fatigue is basically non existent now because I can't even remember or plan what I need to do for it. My adrenals have been in high gear this whole time trying to fight this virus and this has taken much precedence over the adrenal fatigue.
I guess I just want to inform you guys about the potential dangers of toying around with too many supplements. I know what happened to me was unlikely but it still happened. And I only took 1 pill. Our bodies are weak in this state and can't fight off as much as a normal person.
This is the most mortifying thing I have ever experienced and has changed my life forever. Every single day feels like an eternity because I have lost that little inner monologue. My brain is vacant and void of all thoughts of the present and future. I am stuck in a constant state of confusion about what is real and what isn't. This isnt merely dissociation, this is EXTREME to the point where there are points where i loose touch with the fact that im even dossociated. I function strictly on logic and what I knew before this happened. I just wander aimlessly all day now which is why my elderly parents have to take me back in and take care of their 28 year old son.

I just wanted to warn everyone here about what happened to me and taking PS, but any supplement has potential. I know with AF everyone is always looking for the next supplement and cocktail to help them but there are inherent risks doing these things. Listen to your inner voice and if you are hesitant about something dont take it. Everything has risks and the cost of a bad reaction may not outweigh the benefit.
Good luck to all of you and I hope you all heal well.
