The Invisible Disabilities Advocate
“Helping people understand chronic illness and pain!”
Hi, I am trying to find help for my sister. Because of her sensitivity and reactions to electronics and so many other things, she can’t be on a Computer.leave her home or be around other people. At times she can talk on the phone I am hoping she can talk with others that are similar in this terrible illness and get support and learn of ways she can somehow live better. This has went on for years and I am so sorry to say that our family and most friends think she is just mental. I think part of that comes from the fact that she is OCD but this illness has totally destroyed her quality of life. From what I have read she suffers from TILT and would appreciate any and all help. Thank You, Shela Taylor Ohio
Hi Sheila,
She should definitely try one of the brain retraining programs that are available. They have helped thousands of others improve their quality of life. The two main programs Gupta Amygdala Retraining and the Dynamic Neural Retraining System both are DVD based. There are also in person workshops. Both DVD programs also come with transcripts if she cannot access the DVD. Find out more here: http://limbicretraining.com/
