I have found out some very interesting information. This works even with BTI patients as well.

I had been having seizures at least one or two every week. I went to get a VEEG done and the doc told me that I had Pychogenic NES. This, he says, can be brought on by PTSD, any type of abuse, anxiety and depression. So my PCP referred me to a doc who specializes in Neuro-Feedback.

I went to see him, he did a brain mapping and I got my results back this past Thursday. They were kind of staggering , but yet in a way I was relieved to know that now there is on paper the reason I am having seizures.

According to the brain mapping, my brain never quiets down. I mean it was going so fast during all the test he gave me i.e. close eyes three minutes, open eyes three minutes, memory test, math test etc.

My brain is 14ghz (I think ghz is right) above normal brain activity. Four is a significant differential, so mine is well above that. Someone with a BTI would have a negative differential.

What he explained is that because my mind never shuts down, I never really sleep and am always tired but always thinking, the seizures are a way of getting my brain to rest. I usually sleep 4-5 hours afterwards, sometimes a whole day. In his professional opinion, I need to do that until I can retrain my brain on how to deal with "insults" that it has been dealt. I go today for my first treatment.

Usually for a abnormal of 4 significant differential it is about 30 sessions. He is expecting mine to be around 50-70 depending on whether I am dealt another "insult" i.e. trauma or abuse and so forth.

One good thing about this is I am able to buy the equipment after ten sessions with him and do this at home as much as I would like. This could speed up the process. My insurance company will pay for the equipment, however when I am done with it, if I chose to sell it, I must give the insurance company the money made from it. I think that is a fair deal and I will do exactly that.

I hope this information helped some of you who have seizures and aren't sure why. I feel much better knowing why than people thinking that it is "all in my head". (Technically it is...lol)
