“From someone whose symptoms began 5 years ago mainly of which we blank mind, memory loss, and Anhedonia. PLEASE THINK TWICE BEFIRE YOUR EXPERIMENTS. … I experimented bc I likely had encephalitis”
Cause
r/anhedonia first-person OP u/Curious_Respond_4870 (post 1lsluub): symptoms began ~5 years ago mainly blank mind, memory loss, and anhedonia; frames likely encephalitis (doctors unhelpful) with earlier UTI/Lyme-infection suspicion; warns that experimental self-treatments (med cycling, iron infusion, excess antibiotics, copper, ivermectin, etc.) worsened course. Clear BOTH blank mind + anhedonia as primary symptoms.
Duration
~5 years at Jul 2025 post
Recovery notes
No recovery claimed. Tried FMT, IVIG/SCIG, HBOT; believes vitamins/over-experimentation and untreated underlying issues damaged her worst. Advice post to others not to experiment desperately.
