Denise, hi. Unfortunately, the neurofeedback did not work for me. Utterly devastating after five months of trying.But I would not dismiss it as a possibility.
I have just just discovered why it -- and every other of the dozens and dozens of therapies I have tried -- may not have worked. I appear to have Lyme disease. Lyme disease would not have triggered the cripplingly severe agitated depression I have been in for three years three months and 17 days. No -- that would be the amphetimine that was given to me in May 2002 by a psychiatrist who was on a mission to rid the world of ADD but with me succeeded only in retriggering manic depression that had been in complete remission for 13-1/2 years. But, the underlying Lyme disease could be the reason that I have remained frozen in this state of terrorized depression for an extremely atypical amount of time.
I just got the test results today after an unbearable wait of more than two weeks and my mind is still spinning. I am starting on a long course of heavy duty antibiotics and have no idea what is coming. No idea if this could actually finally be the end of an unspeakable living nightmare, or the beginning of more torture.
So I will have to post more later on. I have been waiting longer than long to post on here that I am well finally.
But, yes, I would still encourage anyone to look into neurofeedback. I'd be a better advocate if it had actually worked for me, but I still believe it may have great potential. And you would normally know much sooner than five months if you were on the right path. A convergence of several things made it take so long with me. Not typical.
I did not search to try to find out your story, but I wish you everything you need right now from the bottom of my heart.
