Has Anyone Received Neurofeedback Treatment For Ptsd?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am about to start a series of treatments that involve electric brain stimulation. Anyone have experience with this?

Kaye my sister has it too ,she kept saying a long time ago that I had it,but it was not fully blown at the time ,head aches numbness achy but not bad lethargy but thought it was a virus,just kept going as it wasn't as dibliitating as now.i kept telling my sister no I havnt ect ect but I got very sick 3/4 years ago with another medical problem ,which at the time no one could find out what was wrong with me I was in hospital for two months at one hospital and a few weeks at another ,this stress of not knowing set the fybro to full pelt I recon.i have had it ever since.so I do agree defiantly a genetic tendency . Hope your days gone well :-)

No, Chrissy, it is electrical stimulation at a level barely felt, I believe. Slowly, over time new neural pathways are developed, old pathways lost. It is used for many disorders, chronic pain is also of interest in this. We develop "pain pathways" which actually change the shape of the nerve cell (synapse, perhaps, can't recall). This form of stimulation sends an electric impulse on a different path

I recently tried PEMF Therapy at a local chiropractors office. It was very energizing. But you'd need to use it daily to be effective long term. Home units are available, but the cost is a factor at $1200 on up.

Interesting discussion. Chrissy, you sound like you are a follower or "logotherapy", have you read frankl? And with respect to causes of fibromyalgia, I think research suggests many potential causes. In my case, starting with sexual assault at 5. I have a happy life. Bad things happened to me. Ptsd is quite different from sadness, although it can make you sad, for sure. And, one further comment I have is there is a fairly old theory I learned which has always made sense to me. It's the "stress diathesis" theory Which suggests that you can have a predisposition to an illness (like genetics) then a stressor can set it off.

I think my Fibro has a genetic component maybe triggered by extreme stress. My daughter has it as did my mom I believe!
