Guest guest Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Has NFB helped you any? I use earplugs, ipod, deep-breathing, sensory techniques (weighted vests, deep-pressure, etc) extensively. It's just SO HARD sometimes. I've tried NFB a few years back (for my Tourette's, different story, didn't use it long) but don't remember much about what it did/didn't do for me. I've had my best coping results with the combo above...no one thing does it for me. And at times I just have to leave the sensory stimuli behind...I have to get away before I explode at times. I just keep telling myself eventually I'll be done with school and I can get a job where I don't have to be in a room with other people all the time! > > I totally empathize with you.

Mine are sniffing and throat clearing...and my whole family, me included are going through a horrible case of sinus infection/URI...so everybody's hocking and choughing and sniffing and it's KILLING ME. I finally convinced my dad to go rest upstairs instead of in the livingroom...explaining I'd actually be able to get my chores done if they weren't in there torturing me.... Ugh. I hate this problem, and what kills me over it is that there isn't a " real " diagnosis...it's not in the DSM or the ICD, it's not " official " or " real " to emipircal science yet. Which also means there's no research. No treatments. Sure as hell no cure. > > I've had this problem all my life, since I was tiny, literally some of my earliest memories (high school senior now) I think I have it due to my Asperger's (autism spectrum) and the thing is, instead of getting better since I was younger, it's gotten WORSE. I hate feeling like I'm crazy, I hate running away from the noises. I hate it. This was just a bad day for me....ugh. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Kayley,I am doing my third session today, and it takes at least 20 to start to feel any results, so it will be a whilebefore I can report on it. But others have reported great results with NFB. Mike To: Soundsensitivity Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2012 6:11 PM Subject: Re: Lost it today.... Has NFB helped you any?
