I think i'm allergic to choline / eggs. I get massive brain fog and ataxia, basically every symptom on the wikipedia page under "Anticholinergic overdose". I think my body reacts to the choline by downregulating receptors rapidly, giving me a massive anticholinergic reaction.
Long term use increases the risk of both mental and physical decline.[6][7][8][9][10][11] It is unclear if they affect the risk of death generally.[6] However, in older adults they do appear to increase the risk of death.[12] Possible effects of anticholinergics include:
- Poor coordination
- Dementia[13]
- Decreased mucus production in the nose and throat; consequent dry, sore throat
- Dry-mouth with possible acceleration of dental caries
- Stopping of sweating; consequent decreased epidermal thermal dissipation leading to warm, blotchy, or red skin
- Increased body temperature
- Pupil dilation; consequent sensitivity to bright light (photophobia)
- Loss of accommodation (loss of focusing ability, blurred vision – cycloplegia)
- Double-vision
- Increased heart rate
- Tendency to be easily startled
- Urinary retention
- Diminished bowel movement, sometimes ileus (decreases motility via the vagus nerve)
- Increased intraocular pressure; dangerous for people with narrow-angle glaucoma.
Possible effects in the central nervous system resemble those associated with delirium, and may include:
- Confusion
- Disorientation
- Agitation
- Euphoria or dysphoria
- Respiratory depression
- Memory problems[14]
- Inability to concentrate
- Wandering thoughts; inability to sustain a train of thought
- Incoherent speech
- Irritability
- Mental confusion (brain fog)
- Wakeful myoclonic jerking
- Unusual sensitivity to sudden sounds
- Illogical thinking
- Photophobia
- Visual disturbances
- Periodic flashes of light
- Periodic changes in visual field
- Visual snow
- Restricted or "tunnel vision"
- Visual, auditory, or other sensory hallucinations
- Warping or waving of surfaces and edges
- Textured surfaces
- "Dancing" lines; "spiders", insects; form constants
- Lifelike objects indistinguishable from reality
- Phantom smoking
- Hallucinated presence of people not actually there
- Rarely: seizures, coma, and death
- Orthostatic hypotension (severe drop in systolic
When i read this list i'm like wtf. I HAVE ALL OF THOSE SYMPTOMS. Anyone has any idea what the fuck is going on? I even have the elevated IOP (for which no explanation is given by docs)...
