Re: Dr. Amen

[Guest guest]

Has anyone considered going to see Dr. Amen (www.amenclinics.com)? He does SPECT scans to figure out what is going on with the brain, and then recommends ways to repair/help/change the way it is reacting. Clinics exist in California and Washington DC. I believe Dr. J knows about his work, and I wonder if she thought that he could be helpful? I contacted them once a year ago and they had no knowledge of 4S. Maybe they need to know about it and get on board to help?

I think they need to do mri imaging of the brains of people with severe 4s listening to (their specific) trigger sounds and compare them to mri images of a (non 4s) control group listening to the same specific sounds.

I think what this will reveal is a much more than normal neural activity in the parts of the brain responsible for hearing and also for emotional response. (Basically I think our brains will light up like a Chrismas tree). I think this imaging will also reveal "hard wiring" of the neural pathways proving the emotional reactions are being triggered by auditory stimulus.

I still think our condition is similar to synesthesia and results from a (necessary) lack of neural pruning.

I am hopeful that a drug exists or can be developed that will help with sensory gating.

I posted earlier, and did not have any positive responses to this question: Have any 4s sufferers ever been on Aricept ? I did have one response indicating that this drug might be helpful with sensory gating.

Unfortunately, these are only my theories with absolutely zero out there to prove or disprove them !

> Out of curiosity, if somebody did get interested in researching 4S, what kind of project do you envision them doing? Would they be studying the anatomy of the inner ear? Doing neurological tests on people with 4S as they react to triggers? Trying to isolate common factors in families with a history of 4S?

So I spoke to my boss today regarding the process of starting a Non-Profit and she said that it is extremely difficult.  I am going to look at the application process, but apparently there are a lot of very strict rules.  I think it is really important though—I’m still going to speak with the CPA next door and find out what it entails. The government just loves to frustrate me!!

Hi Mayuri,Do you mind my asking which medications are working for you? Even if they are just a little bit of help, it might give a clue to what systems are involved. ~Thanks You sound very dedicated to improving your situation, nice to hear from you.To: Soundsensitivity Sent: Wed, March

Hi! I've been a member of this group almost since its inception, but originally signed up under another name due to privacy concerns. So you won't recognize my name, but I've been around for years, mostly lurking. I also worked directly with Dr. J. for a while (via phone) after purchasing her sound generators, which unfortunately did nothing for me. (Although Dr. J. herself is a pleasure!) I've been through everything from physical therapy to acupuncture to special listening CDs to biofeedback . . . and the only thing that has helped at all so far is a combination of 3 different medications. Even that only takes the edge off--I still walk around almost all day with earplugs in and/or noise-reduction headphones on.Anyway, I'm right in San Francisco, very close to the California Amen Clinic, and would be happy

to be one of the

folks who sees Dr. Amen if the group can help raise the money. I'd definitely report back to the group in detail with whatever happened. And I'm willing to kick in a little money myself toward whoever goes, whether it's me or someone else. This sounds like a great chance to do some investigating!Oh, as a side note--I had a few sessions with our own Tara Economakis, too--she's fantastic, if anyone gets the chance to see her, and while I don't think the self-hypnosis/relaxation she has taught me is up to solving my 4S problem YET, she did show me that I really can relax my nervous system, and I've been practicing daily. My hope is that over time I'll get better and better at it, until I can do it quickly and being relaxed becomes my default mode more often and for longer stretches. From there, hopefully I can start making inroads into the 4S itself. :)Like I said, I'm mostly a lurker on this group, but I

read the digest almost every day. Thanks to everyone here who is doing so much on our behalf, from the non-profit planning to the fundraising ideas to the new websites and articles that have gone up online. I'm grateful to have you all on my side.-Mayuri

Good work, ! That photo of you at the top with your fingers in your ears sums it up perfectly. :-)

Thanks for volunteering, Mayuri.   Hopefully we can raise the money we need.  I would put it in an account, or we can contact Dr. Amen and see if he will accept payment from all over.  The only problem is the accounting aspect.  We would need to tell someone that we sent a check for “x†amount and that way we will know how much Dr. Amen receives so there won’t be a discrepancy.  I would keep record of it—everyone would just have to email me their check number, amount, and when they sent it.  But first we need to contact Dr. Amen and see if he would do something like that. If he wouldn’t, I would be okay with opening an account and then sending one big check for payment.  However, we would need another person to basically keep record like described above, so there would be an accounting. (I’m very honest, but I wouldn’t want anyone thinking I’m taking in more than I am sending Dr. Amen—we just need “checks and balances.â€) But first we need to find 2 more people willing to go to Dr. Amen and be researched—Anyone out there in the Northern CA area??

I've been a member of this group almost since its inception, but originally signed up under another name due to privacy concerns. So you won't recognize my name, but I've been around for years, mostly lurking. I also worked directly with Dr. J. for a while (via phone) after purchasing her sound generators, which unfortunately did nothing for me. (Although Dr. J. herself is a pleasure!) I've been through everything from physical therapy to acupuncture to special listening CDs to biofeedback . . . and the only thing that has helped at all so far is a combination of 3 different medications. Even that only takes the edge off--I still walk around almost all day with earplugs in and/or noise-reduction headphones on. Anyway, I'm right in San Francisco, very close to the California Amen Clinic, and would be happy to be one of the folks who sees Dr. Amen if the group can help raise the money. I'd definitely report back to the group in detail with whatever happened. And I'm willing to kick in a little money myself toward whoever goes, whether it's me or someone else. This sounds like a great chance to do some investigating! Oh, as a side note--I had a few sessions with our own Tara Economakis, too--she's fantastic, if anyone gets the chance to see her, and while I don't think the self-hypnosis/relaxation she has taught me is up to solving my 4S problem YET, she did show me that I really can relax my nervous system, and I've been practicing daily. My hope is that over time I'll get better and better at it, until I can do it quickly and being relaxed becomes my default mode more often and for longer stretches. From there, hopefully I can start making inroads into the 4S itself. Like I said, I'm mostly a lurker on this group, but I read the digest almost every day.

Sounds good to me.  We need to talk to Dr. Amen’s office and find out if we can get a discount if 3 people come.  Otherwise, it’s around $3000 per person so we need to raise about $9000.  We need to reach the people in this group that haven’t read or logged on lately.  We need to tell them that we have a chance at research, but we need to fundraise for it.  We need a headcount of who wants to contribute that is currently reading the posts.  If you are willing to contribute, please email me and Tara and let us know how much you are willing to contribute.  We need to get a rough headcount.  My email address is k.howe@....    Thanks,Kathy Howe From: Soundsensitivity [mailto:Soundsensitivity ] On Behalf Of Tara EconomakisSent: Wednesday, March 23, 2011 4:43 PMTo: Sound SensitivitySubject: RE: Dr. Amen I would be happy to keep track of the checks, working with Kathy.
