Hyper-vigilance spinning out of control

Barney · June 11, 2020, 10:04:04 PM

So...about a month ago my hypervigilance was spinning out of control...the "hamster wheel" in my gut was spinning like it was turbo charged. I was almost hyperventilating 24 hours a day. I couldn't get it to stop with any somatic work. My doctor has been using lasers on my Achilles tendons for tendinitis...and it seems to help. So, I come into his office with my hypervigilance spinning out of control, and he says he's got a new laser treatment to try on me. He used it on my Vagus Nerve at the base of my breast bone for 3 minutes, and then at the base of my skull for 3 minutes. Then, as I was driving home, through farm roads all by myself in a quiet car, I noticed that the hamster wheel had stopped. The single most miraculous medical treatment I've ever experienced in my 58 years on this planet. Here's pictures of the unit. It has a PTSD setting. It should not be that hard to find a laser therapist where you are...I'm pretty remote. (I drive over an hour to see my therapist) I'm now trying to find the underlying reason for the hypervigilance...

That is incredible. How are you feeling now? Has the hypervigilance crept back in or is it still gone?

I can't see the attachment, I'm not sure if it worked or if I am missing something.

Interesting Barney, I haven't seen anything about this treatment before. I'll do a search and see if I can come up with any info about it. Glad to hear it worked for you

It's a bit on the technical side but it seems like one consideration is what kind of laser used. See

The one used in your treatment is the more effective type from the sounds of it - "The LZ30 series of lasers do not use inexpensive laser diodes, SLDs or LEDs. Cheaper LEDs do not offer the same level of power control that you get from using high-end InGaAlP diodes." https://www.coldlasers.org/avant/
