I have EDS / HMS and possibly other connective tissue issues , that themselves , were made worse considerably by a fringe treatment I had that I assumed was harmless ( NCR - Neuro cranial reconstruction ) but has left me crippled to this day.

The treatment itself left me with what I can only describe as laxity inside my cranium that started round the right temple cheek and evolved to include other areas I could feel being torqued / weakened like my eyes. These conditions quickly deteriorated over the course of 3 months ( mostly noticeably when I walked ), and with it produced all manners of altered states / moods as well as changes to my senses / facial features as well.

5 years later In 07 I was suffering from chronic tinnitus as result of using a Rebuilder device to treat another condition ( Neuropathy ) so I decided to try some sclerotia ( mycelium from Psilocybe Tampanensis ) because I had read accounts of it helping cluster headaches and figured there might a connection.

Unfortunately I took more than I should of ( the effects were delayed far longer than expected ) so I assumed my yield were duds .

This together with an intra cranial injection I had some days beforehand through my palate as nerve block had some very unexpected results - not unlike an experienced I had before with using mushrooms but with far stronger effects .

When the trip began ( a bad one ) nothing physical happened , and then just as the paranoia left I experienced a sudden jolt at the back of my skull as though it were being pushed into my face in one sudden motion that caused a streak or lighting boltto appear mid line down the center between my vision .

The " weakened / loose " area in my skull I mentioned that occurred after the NCR back in 02 , and had been contributing to tinnitus and other problems I had since then ( i had also been housebound up to this point ) were gone ,but had also left me ,with what I hoped, was temporary anosmia in its place.

My appearance also reflected these changes - most noticeable with my brow , as did my mood ( almost lucid ) my hearing & sight , and deep desire to be creative - which I was.

In addition to these changes I also noticed- or felt differences inside my skull as well , and most noticeably with small vomer bone which had been pushed a good inch or so towards my septum , instead of away from it as had been previously the case .

I wasnt surprised to see that this movement due to the nerve block because the anesthetic from these shots ( much like other dental shots ) always had this effect of countering this pulling / tension in my skull that had since become such a major problem since NCR incident, but never to the degree it affected my whole body or stayed that way ( tensions / symptoms would reappear ) after the shots weakened.

So what did actually happen , did the sclerotia somehow change the nerve block, or intensify its effects ?

Unless Im mistakened , its impossible ( under normal circumstances ) to strengthen connective tissue inside the cranium vault the same way you can with other areas like the knees using PRP outside it ?

So what if using a hallucinogenic substance like I did ( even with a nerve block ) allows some way for an otherwise simple solution to quadruple its effects ?

I only know this is only an idea, but I cant think of any other reason why it would have this effect that Ive heard of , and am quite certain places like MAPS , and other organizations involved in hallucinogenics research , wouldnt either.

In fact, I'll go as far as to say I doubt any one has ever tried using them in this setting with injections such as PRP or nerve blocks, for muscoskeletal purposes, or just to see what sort of effect they have.

What do you think ?
