Default Bio_Feed Back Therapy

Hello Jeff:

Glad to hear from you and what a bummer this MTBI_PCS is. I have had great results from Bio-Feed Back, but it is a slow process that takes time or should say. Comparied to the amount of damage the brain has. I lived with headache pains in the 5 to 9 range 24/7 for over four years. Its about a one or two point scale now but the headache pains have moved as the preatment has progressed. My temper has improved from going to atomic blast to getting very irked. More energy and memory improving and looking toward the future.

Please check out the Bio-Feed Back and get an QEEG Test done first to help determine just what areas of the brain may be damaged. I am about the sixth person that they have treated with PCS. I was directed to this clinic by the human resources of the state and I would have you check with them to see if they still have a Federal government program that is funding this.

I am in a catch 22 on this for, Medicare with not pay unless a medical doctor is part of the clinic. So I am ending up paying for the treatment myself. I go twice a week and I have started my third year and fourth month of treamtment. the treatment cost me #1,600 a month and my disability is 1,540 a month. Also the long-term disability insurance policy from Unum Provident insurance, has ruled that I could go and work at McDonalds and they do not have to pay me the policy. They have never see me for a medical exam and will not accept the doctors report after they closed my case out.

Yet I get the hassle at home from my parents whom are both 80+ ,and they tell me I should be cured by now and that I am just wasting my money. All my family members think I am faking these problems and that I am a weak person. All I have to do is buckle down and work hard and get back to work and I will be fine.

My name is Jeff I was hit by a drunk driver in 2003 and suffered a TBI and PCS as a result of the collision and have been working on the recovery of these injuries the last 4 + years.

I've been researching neurofeedback for the last 2 mouths and believe this is a therapy that will treat the symptoms of TBI/PCS. I'm currently identifying the parts of the brain that were effected by the concussion and the symptoms that are manifesting as a result of the injuries to the brain.

What kind of results are you seeing from the biofeedback treatments ?

Are you being treated with biofeedback or neurofeedback ?

Take Care Jeffn
