Brain Mapping

I went for my first appointment with the Neuropsych guy and had my brain mapped. He recorded 5 minutes of data with my eyes open and 5 minutes with my eyes closed. He will analyze the data and compare it with healthy brain maps.

I go back on Tuesday for the report and for my first treatment. He will send signals back to the points in my brain to try and “reboot” the signals that are firing incorrectly. The expectation is that I will be able to feel relief from pain, fogginess, fatigue, over-stimulation, nausea, and some of the other symptoms I feel within an hour or two after the treatment!

Lasting results will need to be built up over time. The improvement will only last for an hour or so the first treatment. I will have to go back 2-3 times a week in the beginning, but should be able to taper off gradually as my brain learns to retain the correct signals. The hope is that I will have permanent lasting results after 20-40 treatments.

Some connections will never be able to fix themselves, but the doctor is confident that I will see some improvement. I'm hopeful and excited that a doctor has finally understood my symptoms and has a treatment that can help!

I humbly ask you to pray with us as we go through this. I haven't felt good in almost 5 years, and have gotten used to feeling this way. I'm nervous that the good will make the bad difficult to bear. I'm nervous that I won't see a lot of improvement. I'm nervous about the length of the treatment time and the roller-coaster of ups and downs that I have to look forward to. I'm trying to focus on the positive and could really use you all in my corner.

Thanks!!!
