Here is a list of my symptoms since I crashed in mid March 2025:
. Insomnia - I typically sleepy for 2/3 hours and then do not fall back to sleep. Natural tiredness and fatigue has disappeared.
. Anhedonia - I have felt genuine joy and reward at all since I crashed. I do not feel any high from exercise and I cannot feel any buzz from alcohol.
. Penis and testicle tissue and skin changes and abnormality - totally dry, shrunken substantially, loss of colour to the point where it looks completely dead.
. Dry skin / no sebum - every part of my body is dry. If I rub my face, my chest, my pubic hair, then white flakes appear and float into the air. My hands, if I sweat, want a white substance that feels like chalk.
. Body oils have turned into white flakes. Eye goop in the morning and eye wax is now white flakes to the point it looks like paint.
. Asexuality - as soon as I crashed I lost all libido and desire for sex.
. Numb skin and muscles - this varies in severity but often my skin everywhere feels half numb. I feel detached from my own muscles and fascia. It’s like I’m a ghost.
. Lack of sweating but when I do sweat the smell is disgusting - when I sweat from my body the smell is sickly. The only time I have smelt this odour was when I was in a hospital with lots of elderly people, I think it may have been a palliative care unit.
