Comment on Coma: A State of Profound Unconsciousness by Rita McRae

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your story with me Dr. Doman. I am touched by your deep concern & knowledge of comatose patients. My 45 yr. old sister has been in a deep coma from a Grade 5 subarachnoid hemmorhage since Dec. 31, 2011. Her neurosurgeons are from Jefferson Hospital, in Philadelphia. They coiled the aneurysm. Said that they were being very aggresive with her because she is young. She was in the ICU for about 3 1/2 wks. She is now on a critical but stable floor. Neurosurgeons have signed off on her and now she is in the hands of the hospitalists. I immediately saw the declining difference in her care since the ICU transfer. I demanded that she receive bedside physical therapy as that wasn’t even listed in her orders. We all know that that is very important for our muscles. It has been advised that she be moved to Kindred, a long term care hospital. I am going to mention Brain stimulation to Dr.’s tomorrow. I’m so afraid she is not getting nor will she be getting the aggresive care that she not only needs but, deserves. I feel so desperate. Can you please help her? Thank you

My problem is not as severe as most I have seen described but I have dealt with it for 35 years and all doctors tell me is to consume more fiber and drink more water. Occasionally they will give me a drug to soften things but I have always felt like the problem was muscles that were too tight. Also the problem comes and goes. It can be really bad or not an issue at all.
Can you recommend exercises that might help me to get the muscles to relax. I am an exercise nut and can probably do them if instructed.

Comment on What is Neurofeedback or Neurotherapy? by rusnan

@Kitty I am an alcoholic who also suffers ADHD. I have been going for three months now to neurotherapy and I have seen remarkable results. I was initially skeptical but found lots of testimonies and studies on the net. I am amazed at how organized and calm I have become. My cravings are almost non-existant (As opposed to three years of sobriety where especially in the beginings they were almost overwhelming.) I would highly suggest neurotherapy ALONG WITH a good 12 step based group.

Comment on Temperature Biofeedback – Hand Warming Explanation by brian Milstead

The best way to warm your hands is to practice a meditative breathing pattern (6-12 breaths per minute). When breathing in this manner you blood flow increase to the extremities (vasodialation). A great device to help learn this is the SC911 digital biofeedback thermometer. You can also use a device like the Resperate or Emwave PSR to help learn meditative breathing patterns.

Neurotherapy could be of great benefit to you. I would suggest finding a certified therapist. You can contact http://www.isnr.org (ISNR- International Society for Neurofeedback & research)and find a therapist in your area.

So how does one actually increase the temp. using Visualization?

I am a professional Guitarist and I believe for myself this would be a great advantage to warm up the hands prior to a show.

thanks

Nice video – I’m using heart rate variability biofeedback myself and can attest to its power as a stress management tool.

I am a 39 yr male. I think I might have PFD. I have always been shy to urinate in public stalls, just could not relax, so the natural reaction was always to try and push/strain to urinate. I truly believe that my problem i’m about to describe all comes down to growing up very shy/conservative. My pain now subsides in my stomach. My symptoms are a pain in my stomach that feels like I haven’t eaten in 6 days. My stomach seems so tight from my chest down, seems to shorten my breaths and make me feel weak and shivers. My stomach right at my belly button area and for a couple inches down sticks out a bit. I’m very fit so I know something is wrong, i feel it and I see it. My Dr. thinks my stomach looks normal but it’s not we all know our body. I’m more concerned of the discomfort that how good it looks. After I masterbate I feel like I have to urinate. In the past I know I have tried to push the urine too hard when it wouldn’t flow easily and afterwards, mostly 8 – 12 hours later i would be in alot of pain in my stomch, like a tightening of the nerves down my stomach vertically. I’m finding this posting by Dr. Moldwin helpful because I think my problem all along was yeeears of not relaxing all the time during urination. I want to know if any other male has this bulging of their stomach right at the belly button, and when you bend over to put on socks, or dry yourself off after a shower it feels like your lower abdomen is pushing into your stomach? My email is balcony@live.ca for any suggestions of remedy they have found helpful. I’m going to see my doctor asap and run this PFD by her.
