My NFB Update

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

Here is my update on Neurofeedback (NFB):

I've been going once a week since the end of January. As I previously reported

I continue to have a significant improvement with sleep and any anxiety that

goes along with Miso, which helps with trigger responses greatly. My essential

tremor in my left hand is almost entirely gone, only shaking left is in my thumb

and it's pretty minor and imagine it'll eventually go away. My patience level

is outstanding and I hardly if ever get truly angry even over Miso. I only get

angry when someone does something really mean and so far it's not been miso

related.

As reported by Clye for us adults it takes numerous, at least 20 sessions if not

more, for NFB to begin to reach the triggers. Kids respond faster because their

brains are still developing and their wiring is significantly less entrenched

than us aged folks. I'm at 21 sessions now and have noticed a huge improvement

on crunching/eating triggers. For the most part people's eating no longer

triggers me, I still am sometimes bothered by gum cracking, however. This is

HUGE for me! As some of you remember it's what I talked about on the Today show

as it has been my number one trigger since I was about 8 years old. I have stood

next to a lady eating an apple and then popping gum in her mouth with no

problem. While I was laying out at the pool, immediately next to me a man ate an

entire tin of Pringles while speaking Mandarin on his cell phone. Normally I

would have flipped out over both the Pringles and the Mandarin on the cell

phone and moved seats. Instead, I giggled at the fact that it didn't affect me

at all. Like I said, this is huge for me.

I'm still not improved enough with the walking on stairs and above me where I

work and live. Though the sound doesn't resonate in my chest like it used to,

which is an improvement, I still get pretty bothered by it and have to mask it

immediately. I will continue NFB untill that and the gum cracking are gone as

triggers.

As you may recall Clye did, I believe, 100 sessions and his son, I think, 80 and

they both consider themselves cured. So I know I still have a ways to go and am

very optimistic. , our teen on 20/20, started NFB when I did and she is

reporting great improvement as well. vBernadette maybe you can tell everyone

more? I can say that the fact that says there's an improvement is also

HUGE, very telling and exciting, as she has always thought NFB is a waste of her

time and would never help Miso. But it is helping!

It is expensive. Mine is $160 a session. However many insurance covers it if you

can find a psychologist who bills under the correct code to the insurance

companies. Here in San Diego there's only one provider who does NFB and accepts

HMOs and knows how to bill to get the service covered (she doesn't tell them

she's doing NFB but rather therapy) but I don't like the way she does NFB so

quite unfortunately I pay out of pocket. So far it has been worth every penny!

I'll report again when the next something significant happens.

Optimistically and significantly improved yours,

Heidi
