I thought I would give you a quick update on the methods that I've been using over the past 7 months. Let me assure you that the road to get here was not an easy one as I have found that even "natural, integrative" physicians can be as pushy with their meds. Although they are far more understanding with conditions and whole body, the system is meant to sell a product (vitamins).
With that said......
I've been working with neurofeedback for 7 months now and love it. At first, I was having trouble understanding what it was doing as I didn't feel any different. Yet, I can now positively say that it WORKS!!! Yes, I know that many have relayed this sentiment, but I'm a bit stubborn and need to see the workings.
For me, it has meant greater memory. My husband is even amazed at how much I'm remembering. Even things that I've forgotten are coming up. The locked closet is now opening and I'm peering inside to a past that I couldn't remember.
Also, my brain is beginning to understand how to deal with anxiety/stress without passing out. Yes, I'm still very careful as I KNOW I can hit the floor at any moment. But a panicky feeling does not arise anytime I feel loopy. My brain is slowly learning.
Now, food has taken the longest to work out. From GARD to raw food I've been forced to take a good strong look at my diet and what is working and not working. I've spoke with doctors and nutritionists, etc. Most had "their way" of dealing with issues. Yet, many times that I tried a course of action, I didn't feel good.
One book that has been on my shelf---but not in my hands---is the Hippocrates Diet Program. It seemed too extreme when I first received it. I finally read it and was inspired. Seizures could be reactive? No one ever told me any of this. After taking more than 20 vitamins a day, I knew I needed some sound advice on how to help myself get away from ALL synthetic pills (meds and vitamins).
I set up an appointment with the director and he was a very generous man. He received a 53 page document with my medical history and read and assessed every word:woot:---even consulted with others (just for a phone consultation). When we spoke it was with a plan of action(including titration down in the future) and a follow up in 60 days.
It was both empowering and inspiring to sit and listen to how and why the body works. How emotions are tied to our state of health and what we can do to heal within.
My reasons for saying this is not to gloat, but to inspire. I've been on meds since I was 12 years old. No one ever told me how or why I was having seizures just what---oh yeah, and here are some pills. The vicious cycle needed to stop. Unfortunately, it took almost 30 years for me to figure this out. My hope is that you will look into these wonderful therapies and try them out for yourself. They work and will make your life better. The condition may always be there, but the fear and anxiety will leave making you a much stronger, healthier person.
