Hi, I have PIC with CNV too. There is a PIC support group in Facebook where you might be able to find some more answers. A lot of people seem to go into remission during pregnancy but then have a flare after birth

Hi Janine, I got your email regarding your son's condition after his injury.

I have a few questions for you regarding his injury.

1)What was the damage to the Brain ?

2)Was there any damage to the nerves ? Were there any severed ?

3) Was there any brain tissue removed from your son's skull ?

4) Has he been put on any medication for his behavior and if so
how long has he been on this medication and what is the name of the medication ?

5) You mentioned he is in pain, what area is he saying the pain is coming from ?

Most people who have injuries, still have a lot of their attention tied up in the
trauma that they had experienced meaning they are still in the trauma. The force
and energy of the impact/trauma was so great it keeps a lot of their attention stuck in
the incident. It basically traps the person/their personality in the incident. If you were
to look at them, look in their eyes you can see they are distant, they are not quite there
they are at another time, another place. They are socked into their Subconscious Mind as
there is nothing good in the Subconscious Mind only hurt, pain and sorrow, grief, apathy, fear
anger,negative thoughts that will continue to work on a person thru their life when ever
they are tired, hungry, injured, under stress so that is why he is manifesting or more accurately
dramatizing (acting out) being in the Subconscious Mind. If a person "is not in the Subconscious Mind"
they are not acting in a irrational, harmful destructive way. They are acting like themselves, the
kind, gentle, thoughtful person they are. The Basic Good person. He is stuck in the Subconscious Mind
right now so you want to un stick him or pull him out of the Subconscious Mind and here is a exercise
you can do to pull his attention out. It is only a simple temporary solution but if done on a regular basis it will
free up a lot of his attention from the traumatic incident so he is no longer as distance (stuck in the past)
and will be closer to being here in present time and not stuck in the past. This will affect his behavior also
as you will be pulling him out of the Subconscious Mind and into the Rational Mind/Basic Personality the Good
person that he is.

Exercise: Take your son for walks and get him to look around at objects (you point out the objects to him)
like tree's, buildings, house's, cars, trucks, telephone/hydro poles the sky etc till he looks better, his
eyes have won't be so dull, they will be a bit brighter. When you see this in him the exercise is over for
that time period.

Note: When you point to an object, make sure he looks at it and sees it as you are trying to pull his attention
units out of the Subconscious Mind so if he just kind of chuggs it off he will not get the benefits of the exercise.
so you might have to excert a little control on him but don't force him (coax him very gently) and never get mad
at him as that will only knock him further into the Subconscious and hinder his recovery. Always be up beat when
you do this exercise with him. You can do this exercise as many times as you like but always end the exercise at a
good point. Meaning he always looks better at the end of the exercise than when you started the exercise. Also when
ever you notice his behavior start to get worse or negative take him for a walk as he is starting to go back into the
Subconscious Mind and he needs to get his attention out on the environment again and this will pull him out of the
Subconscious Mind. Also if he gets tired while doing this just say we will go home in a few minutes, as if he gets to
tired this will cause him to go back into the Subconscious Mind. Always make sure he is well rested and not hungry
if a person is hungry or tired or both this causes them to go into the Subconscious Mind and then their behavior starts
to get worse.

I look forward to hearing from you at your convenience

All the Best

Russ

I was a graduate student at Andover Newton Theological school and participated in the Friday Night Experiment conducted at Massachusetts Mental Health Center with Dr Walter Pahnke. I received an active drug and reported a mystical experience.

Thank You for the great help to make this subject much more enjoyable for my kids as we are homeschooling and all the experiments really helps making this a fun time for all three of us!

I think gender dysphoria definitely counts as a disability, just as much as depression, anxiety or chronic pain do. Each of those conditions consist of an internal experience that causes suffering and stress and makes it harder for the person to motivate themselves to do activities that aggravate their distress.
But if you're transgender without dysphoria, I wouldn't count that as a disability.

If you don't like the falling sensation, I found you can will yourself to reach out and "feel the floor beneath you".

Not had that sensation for a very long time though :)

Hello this happens to me too like falling into a hole and sometimes the sinking feeling happens a few time before I actually get normal sleep. I lie there awake in a really uncomfortable position hopeing someone would wake me up but I usually concentrate really hard to make my body have sudden movement but some times this works other times I fall into deeper sleep and I'm stuck

My name is alexis and i am just starting my third year of wrestling. I'm on a guy's team. im currently in 9th grade. in 7th grade there was a 6th grader female too, and she would practice with me (btw she was 160lbs and i was 120) but i didnt complain because all of the boys on the team hated us, and wouldnt talk to us. They made us to extra laps because they thought we were slackers, now i mustt say my partner was a bit lazy and slower than everyone else but she still tried! and i was always the first after we finished our laps. i was in xc. but ig they thought i was cheating so i was forced to do more. that year i got 3rd place in my county meet. the next year, 8th grade the girl was still there, she was in 7th grade. i wrestled her and if she was absent i was forced to sit out because no boy would wrestle me. i got 2nd place that year. now, it's 9th grade 11/14/16 and my wrestling partner is in 8th, she's in middle school and im in high. so i had to wrestle boys, i really have only wrestled them during matches so i was kind scared. so at practice i wrestled another freshman, and he was about my weight and he's new, and the high school coach ASKED ME TO COACH HIM !!!! so like i was a long stronger & experienced than him. (i accidentally made his mouth bleed oops! )-: ) and i think he's scared of me now XD. but yea that's my story, see ya around!

This was a great resource for our Cell task stations for students to grasp an understanding of cells. It was a great springboard from their 6th grade science class and learning about the body systems. Thank you.

Hoping to change that.

Hello sufferer.
I had an epidural of kenalog to treat herniated disk in 2011 and have had a few of the same symptoms- tinnitus,episodes of high sensitivity to sound,many sensations in head,face pain and twitching to name just a few. There seems to be little working medical help exsisting for these things among other battles like just having some sort of accurate diagnosis . Please google and read the advice and story's given at this website-- kenalogneveragain - it could contain useful info and other links for research and help. I'm so sorry your son is suffering and pray he finds relief and normality.
Yours
Robbie
