Guest guest Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Although so far, there's not much to report. They did a quantitative EEG, which, as far as I understand, is supposed to scan my brain for abnormalities. The results won't be in until next week; this ought to be fascinating. My practitioner also said she'd contact Dr. Randall Lyle to ask about his treatment protocols, so life is becoming quite exciting. I'll be adding to this thread when I know more. -Kate K.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I just got my brain mapping QEEG done as well, and the interpretation was fascinating! It confirmed everything I already knew about myself, and showed me in detailed color the areas of my brain that had abnormalities. For example the report said: "beta is atypically localized to the parietal sites" and there were "deficits of alpha, and elevations of beta with maximal deviations in the parietal and occipital sites"In other words I would have learning challenges with sensory integration issues. Language and word retrieval would be difficult, along with anxiety, agitation, sleep disregulation, irritability and easy distractibility.It was extremely accurate which gives me hope.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I am in a quandry about whether or not to go for neurofeedback as i need to make doubly sure the person is qualified to treat miso with it and also that it won't make me worse.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 I've gotten my qEEG results, and apparently there's a large " problem spot " in the center of my brain, where high-frequency waves occur far more than usual. The practitioner said that they see this a lot in people who have anxiety issues, (which I know I do), but that it could also be related to my sound sensitivity. The practitioner also said that it was AWESOME that my problem was so pronounced: like a giant bulls-eye, the problem spot shows us exactly what to target. I'm really curious: how does the location of my " problem spot " compare to that of other people who have done a qEEG? I've only been to 3 sessions so far, and they said it would take 20 to start seeing results, but in one way they've already helped me: practicing steady, rhythmic breathing (six seconds inhale, six seconds exhale) whenever I'm triggered has helped reduce murderous thoughts quite a bit. I will keep reporting on my progress faithfully, and urge anyone else who's doing neurofeedback to add to this thread or create their own to compare results. -Kate K. > > > > I just got my brain mapping QEEG done as well, and the interpretation was fascinating!

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 That's interesting Kate- thanks for sharing. My NFB practitioner said something about the middle of my brain being a wreck as well. Though I haven't noticed any improvement in the miso department, I have noticed a definite mood shift- I am happier more often and much less irritable. This has been going on for weeks now, I was just reluctant to believe it. I just had my 13th session and am feeling better than ever- I didn't realize I was so down before. The practioners believe that my misophonia will get better with more treatments and I hope they're right. But I must say, even if it didn't get better- I wouldn't regret it because I didn't know I could be this happy!!

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 My son also has a high frequency spot in the center of his brain that the doctor said was attributed to anxiety and OCD behaviors. But he also had/has many more problem areas. I asked his practitioner yesterday if we could target that area, and he said that he had started there, but it actually made his behavior worse (per my report) so he moved to some other areas which has calmed him down. We've been going since the end of January. I've noticed improvement in overall mood stability, but still acts up in response to pencil sounds(his trigger), however, I'm wondering if some of that is habit and a way to manipulate since last week he sat right next to a girl writing with a pencil for an hour, and he never complained to me about it later, nor did his tutor notice any reaction from him. I'll have to see if the practitioner can figure out another way to target that spot and see what happens.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Hi Kate,Interesting to hear your experiences with neurofeedback. Can you explain more about what happens in these sessions and what it's supposed to achieve, especially in relation to sound sensitivity? I've googled it trying to understand what it's all about, but am not feeling much enlightened. Thanks,LiesaOn Tue, Apr 10, 2012 at 1:45 AM, <Soundsensitivity > wrote: 3a.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Not sure what 'kind'. I asked about the type that was mentioned here--can't remember the name of it, but our practitioneer doesn't use that. He said he had used it in the past but didn't care for it...so I really don't know what the different kinds are and I just assume some prefer different things, and I'm sure there is a cost basis component as well. Did that make sense? LOL. Ginger Re: I've started neurofeedback, and intend to report on it faithfully Ginger and Audrey those are fantastic reports! What kind of NFB is being used?

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hey Liesa, I'm not great at explaining neurofeedback, so you might get a more complete picture from searching through some older posts on this board: there are people here who REALLY know about this stuff. In the simplest terms, neurofeedback tries to figure out what parts of your brain are giving off an abnormal number of low or high-frequency waves, and train it to do that less. They hook you up to a machine that measures electrical impulses from the brain, and if your brain fires the right wavelengths you get rewarded with music or something else cool. Eventually, your brain " learns " to stop firing off so many unhealthy waves. The hope is that we can identify the part of the brain responsible for misophonia and train it to stop reacting so abnormally to triggers. Um, I hope that helped. Like I said, I'm not really good at this. Best wishes, Kate K. > > > 3a.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Dear Heidi, I'm not really sure what " kind " of neurofeedback is being used in my case, but the purpose of it is to bring my qEEG score closer to the norm by sending my brain to send less beta waves. The reason it's beta waves is that a part in the center of my brain generates an abnormal amount of them. I've heard that increasing alpha waves is a good thing, but the focus of my therapy is on decreasing beta waves in that part of the brain. Next week, my practitioner was going to run my qEEG results through a program called Loretta, which is supposed to calculate which parts of the lower brain are firing so often. Has anyone else had this done? -Kate > >> > > >> > > >> > Ginger and Audrey those are fantastic reports!

She is also much happier. She does not feel depressed anymore. As far as misophonia when I triggered her last week she went into a full one hour rage. I timed it. She can not control the rage. This included physical and verbal rage attacks. If she is not triggered, happy as can be. I hate this condition. > > Thank you for all the feedback and reports on doing neurofeedback.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 You are an amazing parent to recognise her condition as a serious problem. After hearing about the success of NFB I am dying to try it. I have an 8 month old son and even though he doesn't trigger me now, I'm sure when he gets older that will change. My family is aware of my condition but they do not take me seriously and they mock me by saying things like "what DOESN'T bother you?" I have been able to kind of control my misophonia through mind over matter. I am still triggered but it takes a longer exposure to the offensive sounds to really irritate me. Deep breathing, focal points, and "flight reflex" have seriously benefited me. I recall just today, my fiance and I went out to eat at a deli and a woman sat at a table near us and I looked at my man and said "we might have to move" when she picked up her bag of chips, I scrambled across to the other end of the restaurant and all was good. I do find that when I am triggered, I'm sent into a really angry, depressed state for the rest of the day. Hopefully your daughters treatment continues to go well and good for you to recognise this condition as a disease and not just a personality flaw. Much love.Sent from my Verizon Wireless Phone----- Reply message -----To: <Soundsensitivity >Subject: Re: I've started neurofeedback, and intend to report on it faithfullyDate: Sat, Apr 21, 2012 7:18 pm My 14 year old daughter has been doing NFB since the end of January.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Thank you Audrey, Kate and Would love.There are different kinds of machines/softward and some are QEEG guided and some aren't, if everyone can ask there practioner the name of the software they are suing then I can track which kinds are working best. Wouldlove your daughter is using Zengar ;-) the other two are using QEED guided (still interested in exactly which software though.)The more info everyone can provide the better to assist with my make a chart and as we have more data we can let people know what questions to ask potential providers so that they can optimize their experience, especially since it's so expensive.Thanks,Heidi That sounds like me- my NFB practitioner said the main focus of treatment is to decrease the beta in certain areas of my brain, and increase my ability to produce alpha waves.

I have anxiety issues and obsessive behaviour (that is what my brain activity present). They are going to decrease the beta waves and increase the alpha. The practitioner also told me that he has never seen this kind of results, as he found the sensory system altered. I'm really happy to start the treatment next week. Another thing is that he's been the first one that made and effort to uderstand misophonia. He does not treat me like a crazy person. I'll post as soon as I notice something interesting. . > > Although so far, there's not much to report.
