Guest guest Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 What is CES? Adil Subject: Re: Recovered from Anxiety Disorder! - Encouraged by PSSD TreatmentTo: SSRIsex Date: Tuesday, August 31, 2010, 9:07 AM Blk,Great post. I'm all up for finding solutions. I don't think this is permanent, either.To find a professional that uses the neurotransmitter therapy in a specific area I recommend calling NeuroAssist and speaking with someone at Ph. between 9 AM to 5 PM CST M-F. You can also email them at info@.... When I spoke with them I asked for a contact who had extensive experience using their treatment rather than just an office that uses it a little bit. They were very helpful. (There are over 900 clinics out there that use their treatment.)I found your mention of CES interesting. I'm not familiar with it but plan on reading up on it. I will also ask my NT Dr. about it when I speak with him this afternoon.> > > >> > > > I hate to take the focus off the current scrapping on this board...

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Unfortunately for some of us this IS permanent and we just have to learn to live with it. I think there are just varying degrees of damage and some will get better as I did the first time...

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 That video has already been posted. In what way does it suggest this is permenant? That video can be from anybody. One thing you should learn is not to believe everything you read on the net. Take things with a pinch of salt. Some people are genuine, while some have their own agendas. Posting a youtube video of someone just saying they've suffered for 4 years proves nothing. We don't know the whole story, whether she tried to help herself though trying different things or rather chose to lay down in self pity and accept whats happened. The latter is the easy thing to do rather than persevering forward and helping your self. To be honest I'm fed up of reading loser sob stories with no substance. Just saying how long they suffered and how terrible it is and life is over while they've done nothing to try and change the situation. But rather choose to wait until someone else tries something and tells them whether it works or not on this group. Get on with life actively challenge your mind and body to get through you will see improvements. Without a shadow of doubt this is not permenant. There was a member not to long ago that posted his sex drive returned as high as ever through a combination of 5htp, excercise, meditation and some hormone supplement. Now obviously his solution is not going to work for all however it shows there is a way out its just a case of finding what works for you as everyone is individual. I've done the self pity game and blaming the world, doctors and psychiatrists game and can tell you it gets you no where except feeling more anger,frustrated and hopeless. Seeking out answers and rememdies is much more fun. You don't know maybe one day you could find the magic solution that can help not only yourself but the whole world. Imagine that. Good look no matter how you choose to view things as this is a tough situation no doubt. But for me there is no choice but to look forward not backwards. > > > > > > > > > > > > I hate to take the focus off the current scrapping on this board...

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 I have used alpha stim. I have not used it regularly. One thing for sure, if you are suffering from reslessness or stress where you feel anxiuos, use the device for 20 minutes on 2-2.5 level and you will definately feel better. The first 3 minutes your head will feel better but after that you will start to relax. For people that have problem sleeping works like magic. Adil Subject: Re: Recovered from Anxiety Disorder! - Encouraged by PSSD TreatmentTo: SSRIsex Date: Tuesday, August 31, 2010, 1:53 PM Thanks for the information . I'll give them a call tomorrow.As for CES you can pick them up off the net. Apparently the alpha stim is meant to be the best addition and goes around $500 on the net with a 30 day money back guarentee if it doesn't work in the first month. Though in the states there should be clinics that offer therapy using the device.This is how its meant to workCranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) is non-invasive alternative therapy that involves passing very small electrical impulses (micro-currents) across the base of the skull. This is done by placing electrodes or clips on or near both ears. Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation alters the electrical activity of the brain and is being considered a safer alternative to drug treatments for conditions such as insomnia, depression, drug addiction, headaches and even ADHD.How Does CES Work?The pulsed electrical currents are believed to affect the limbic system, the reticular activating system, and/or the hypothalamus and to stimulate regions that control pain messages, neurotransmitter creation, and hormone production via the hypothalamic-pituitary axis.The electrical current is believed to increase the brain's levels of serotonin, beta-endorphin, GABA and DHEA and to lower levels of cortisol and tryptophan. These substances influence the chemical activity of nerve cells in the nervous system.CES stimulates activity in some neurological systems and decreases activity in other areas by changing the electrical and chemical activity of nerve cells in the brain stem. This produces increased alpha rhythms (electrical activity patterns in the brain) that are accompanied by feelings of serenity, relaxation and increased mental focus. This reduces agitation and the effects of stress, helps balance mood and controls sensation and perception of certain types of pain. Decreased delta rhythms suggest reduced drowsiness and decreased beta rhythms are associated with reductions in anxiety, ruminative thought, and obsessive/compulsive-like behaviours.CES should not be mistaken for (ECT)electro-convulsive therapy also known as electroshock therapy used by psychiatrists to treat patients with severe depression. Shock therapy uses a current that is 1000 times greater than Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES> > > > >> > > > > I hate to take the focus off the current scrapping on this board...

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 The video I posted is MY video. It is what happened to ME. I refuse to make myself a guinea pig by taking more drugs. (I've been free of them for 27 years now.) For a long time my husband and I went through extensive therapy and sought out natural aphrodisiacs, but to no avail. FINALLY, after 10 YEARS of this, I found a doctor who would really listen to me. He sent me to specialists and I had some very uncomfortable tests done, but they all seemed normal. Then my doctor did a threshold test with a pin and said that it was evidently my saddle area that was numb. He believed me enough to say that if I wrote a book I could mention his name in it. My loss is INDEED permanent whether you care to believe me or not. Yes, there IS such a thing as permanent pudendal nerve damage. I only hope you don't have it, or don't ACQUIRE it by experimenting with more drugs. Sincerely, Kay (I'm wondering if you even BOTHERED to read through my whole video and the story I wrote on my channel. Four years? No, it's been over 27 now... What kind of AGENDA do you think I'd have in telling people this? Helping others maybe? YES, if it can help keep people from being damaged in this way. I'm certainly not looking for any monetary reward. This is a super painful thing to write a book about, although Dr. Szasz encouraged me to do so.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 I'm sorry, but I refuse to give up. I had severe OCD for 25 years. From 19 years old until 44 I lived 24/7 with symptoms. It was a " life sentence " based upone everyone I consulted with. I NEVER gave up. I know there was someone out there that did it. I lived on medications for years which helped me a lot but did not eliminate it. I continued to seek solutions. I would read up on every possible lead and over the years I saw some progress but not complete recovery. I still never game up. I just don't have it in me to quit. Even after I was repeatedly told by medical professionals that I would take medications for life and still have to deal with it. Thank God I didn't listen. I have been off meds for 2 years. I have been CURED -- 100% of my OCD for 6 mos. It took persistence, it took effort, it took pain, it took trial and error, it took finding the correct answers. It happened. I am living proof. By the way, my libido and sexual functions worked at at least 80% during the entire 15 years. It wasn't until I quit the meds that things pooped out. I don't this this is permanent. I just need to find the switch that was flipped off and fix it. I am actively pursuing it and I will find it. I am determined to do so. I want to use this board to work with others to find those solutions. There are others who will live the rest of their lives with OCD and PSSD... I'm not one of them. I feel sad for those who have given up. Am I happy about my situation? No, but I don't have time to wallow in it. There is too much to learn and too much to seek. Too much time to waste. I look forward to working with those other of you interested in fixing this and paving the way for those others behind us. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I hate to take the focus off the current scrapping on this board...

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 every time I read this board about oh poor me my life is over I can't feel love, I can't have sex, naked girls don't turn me on etc... You won't get a bit of sympathy from me cuz I live it too everyday, we are all in the same boat. However your posts and your attitude inspires me. I feel like your the only other person with the same outlook and attitude as me. Everything happeneds for a reason, when I'm cured sex and love will mean sooooo much more to me than they ever use to. After dealing with this the little bumps in life that ruin other people don't even slow me down. It has made me realize what really is important. I hate PSSD and it has plagued me for 5 years, but I will not let it beat me. I will continue to Trust in God and work like hell for a cure. And you truly are an inspiration.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 It would do good for everyone if u write a book. Eventually, with strong people such as yourself, the whole of our "civilized" world will be properly warned about the truth of what is going on here. I have a friend whose father owns a paper out in cleveland. It is not the new york times, but his family seems interested in writing the article. I will refer them to this forum for more personal stories, stats (though hard to come by), and other valuable information. We were not "struck by lightning", and we are not " one in a million" cases. I believe there are probably much greater populations of sufferers. I also think that the wellbutrin I took when I was 15 probably stunted my psychological development (even though a lot of docs will refute there are any issues with that specific poison).

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 I hope to someday have some answers on PSSD so I have something to write about. The interesting thing is that the more you seek the more information you find. Based upon my own past personal experience I have learned two things -- 1) Don't give up. When you think you know everything there is to know there is always something yet to be learned. 2) Don't believe anyone who tells you something won't work or something can't be done. I have come to realize that " experts " in the field of medicine will discount anything they don't know about or are not trained in. I have had MD's laugh at me for the natural treatments I sought and found success with for my OCD. The very Dr. I saw for more than 10 years, and was one of her worst cases of OCD, told me that under my my well-researched choice of natural treatments, I would crash & burn within weeks of coming off medications (which in the past, would have been true). Now, two years later, I am medication & anxiety free! Fortunate for me, someone else out of the UK had the same persistence some 10 years back to do the research and find the answers for his own anxiety disorder. He did write an entire book and program and now has helped more than 100,000 people fully recover with more than a 97% success rate. He had no medical knowledge or training. He was simply a victim of severe OCD who refused to give up and was willing to do extensive research and seek answers. Today he is slowly gaining the respect of hundreds of MDs who currently use his program with their own patients.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Thanks, Bruce! I have become selective in the posts I spend time reading. I already live with the symptoms and I am thankful that I now realize the connection and cause of them by reading that other people are going through this, however now that I know the problem I now only want to focus on finding the solutions. Focusing solely on the problem drains me and drags me down emotionally which is counter productive to what I am trying to accomplish. I am thankful to those of you that are like-minded. I look forward to sharing research and treatment experiences. By the way, the lab had a snafu on the Neurotransmitter Therapy (NT) lab test I took and I will need to retake it next week. My amino acids are therefore not being adjusted until they get the correct results. Did speak with the Dr. and he confirmed that when the neurotransmitters reach the proper balance the " light switch will just turn on " . It is not a gradual process but rather a profound effect seen ~7-10 days from the date you reach the right balance of amino acids. The key is that reaching that balance can take a lot of trial and testing and the difference may be as little as one simple tweak in dosage. The tweaking process is not just increasing dosage but adjusting some up and some down till you hit the correct balance. He told me not to expect to feel better until we reach that point. Interesting. Time will tell. BLK, looking forward to hearing your experience when you start NT in October. Were you able to find a practitioner in the Miami area? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I hate to take the focus off the current scrapping on this board...
