Hey all,
Just thought I'd share my experience this past week. On the advice of Bernard, I've looked into Dr. Jonathan Walker here in Dallas. He's a neurologist who does QEEG mapping and neurofeedback for multiple issues, including epilepsy.
Every month they have free information seminars, where people can come in and ask questions, meet the Dr., and see the equipment they use to do the Neurofeedback.
Still somewhat skeptical, I thought I'd go and have a look for myself. Dr. Walker seemed to know his stuff and answered my questions in what I thought was an appropriate manner. We had someone in our group hooked up to the machine and they demo'd how the neurofeedback would work.
I have to say, I still have trouble believing something so simple could really work, since you don't even know what you are doing and can't feel your brain re-training itself.
They also claim that most insurance companies will cover their services (they only noted that 2 companies currently gave them trouble). I admit, I still don't know what to think about the whole thing, and my current neurologist is skeptical. But, he did say that it couldn't do any harm, and if insurance will pay for it, then he doesn't see any harm in trying.
I'll have to confirm the insurance thing first and then decide what I want to do. I don't know if I've just been brainwashed by traditional medicine or what, but I do still feel skeptical of it all. Dr. Walker said that they have a really high success rate >90% and he feels confident they can stop seizures. Seems too good to be true really, and you know what they say, if something seems too good...
