Guest guest Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Hi Everyone, In 2003, I saw the only Neurophysiologist in the US at that time, who was testing and studying brain function and brain frequencies in CFS patients. Her name is Myra Preston, PhD. She was in Charlotte, NC. I had had CFS for about 18 years. My cognitive function was severely impaired and brain/head symptoms excruciating. Her method was to do a QEEG brain map, then a cognitive test, and follow with another QEEG brain scan to compare. The cognitive part consisted of me reading out loud a short news story followed be her asking me questions about the article I had just read.  It was so difficult for me to focus and access information that within a few questions, tears ran down my face and my hands started shaking.  My brain scans (QEEG) showed areas in my brain that were underfunctioning consistent with her findings in other CFS patients. She told me that it's not that we get less intelligent rather that it becomes more difficult for our brains to access information. She also said that our brain wave frequencies appear reversed. When we close our eyes to go to sleep at night, our brain waves are supposed to slow, they speed up instead. And according to her, when we open our eyes in the morning our frequencies are supposed to speed up to handle normal daytime activity and slow instead. I'm just repeating her findings at the time and wanted to share this experience of mine with you. 7 weeks ago I had my 3rd PSC (placenta Stem Cell) treatment at ISCI (International Stem Cell Institute). This time Dr. addressed my brain by giving me stem cell injections in 6 merideans/pressure points on my head.  Because the cells are working on my brain as we speak and it is important for me to let my brain rest and heal, I will send this email to the group but will not follow-up as it is too taxing at this time. When I am through this process, I will email you all to let you know what my results are. It will be months before I know. In the meantime, I keep learning from your emails, thank-you for them, and wish you all the best. Regards, Kay Siegrist ________________________________ From: amydent9 <amydent9@...> Sent: Wed, December 30, 2009 10:56:35 PM Subject: brain protective treatments  hello, I'd like to revisit this > > > > > > there is namenda (meds) see prior post of mine on this. > > my doc suggested these meds to me as my brain looked similar to > > alzheimers. but I did not try them. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 kay, did you find the QEEG sessions (after the brain mapping) helpful? i am considering it now. rrrr > > Hi Everyone, > > In 2003, I saw the only Neurophysiologist in the US at that time, who was testing and studying brain function and brain frequencies in CFS patients. Her name is Myra Preston, PhD. She was in Charlotte, NC. I had had CFS for about 18 years.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Yes. Somewhat.   It was 7 years ago and I'm sure the treatment has evolved since.
