Two years ago, I had a particular type of brain scan for some mental issues I had. The psychologist facilitator was so blown away by my brain waves that he refused to treat me. He then said that, in essence, my brain never went to sleep. The line on the screen was spiking every time it moved. Needless to say, I was angry that he refused to assist me as there are very few psychologists use this test and can read it. I had no one but my therapist, who has an excellent reputation, did do a mini version of this type. She saw the scan and she was blown away. We tried anyway and my reaction was not good for any of us. I couldn’t stay awake among other things.

So here I am, the Electric Lady who wishes she understood the doctor’s findings. I have no question in my mind that the spiking on the testing screen is indicative of this kind of jolt to my brain. I have always had problems relating my condition but never something that no one could deal with. I don’t get angry at the test scenario anymore, but I am frustrated and would love to have some helpful treatment. My brain must be very tired. I know I am.

Kudos for a timely friend.
