Stroke – recovery using MER biofeedback therapy
Karmel (28)
My name is Karmel, and I am 28 years old. By nature, I am an active and positive person. On November 24, while doing my usual exercise, I suddenly felt my legs go numb and my right arm wouldn’t move. I grabbed my things with my left hand and quickly went to the dressing room. My friend took me home, and later we called an ambulance. I was diagnosed with a stroke and paralysis on the right side of my body.
After the diagnosis, I had very dark thoughts. I constantly debated how to end my life. I had fallen into the role of a victim and felt completely hopeless. My zest for life was gone. It was through an acquaintance that I came to MER Biofeedback therapy, and I have already had five sessions.

I thought it was my last hope—If it doesn’t help, I don’t know what else would.
Driving to the session with my relatives, I was in an emotional hole and didn’t talk to my mum much. I remember the therapist being very pleasant and kind; we talked about all sorts of topics, and I felt comfortable there. My mum said on the way back that I seemed like a new person. On the drive there, I was down and didn’t say a word, but on the drive home, I was chatty.

Before MER Biofeedback therapy, I was very depressed.
I constantly struggled with suicidal thoughts and wondered why I survived. I also considered cutting the veins. I experienced transformative results with MER Biofeedback therapy. After the first session of biofeedback therapy, my gloomy mindset was gone! Knowing I had a stroke no longer triggers negative thoughts.
I used to cry constantly and wish I hadn’t survived. I felt broken, like an insignificant person. After the sessions, I cried instead because how could I even think such ugly thoughts of ending my life!
Biofeedback therapy helps clear my head of negative and limiting thoughts, allowing me to focus on what’s important. I now have much more motivation to move forward in life, and my emotions are balanced! My sense of joy and enthusiasm has grown significantly. After each session, I feel happy, motivated, and my thoughts are clear.

The change in attitude that comes with MER Biofeedback therapy has helped speed up my body’s healing process because it’s easier for me to maintain a positive mood.
Stress doesn’t aid recovery, and our thoughts hold incredible power. If you believe you’ll never recover, you likely won’t. Without hope, it’s easy to fall into a deeper hole. MER Biofeedback therapy helps you climb out of that hole.
If you have even one negative thought that you haven’t been able to deal with for a long time, try MER Biofeedback therapy! I’ve learned that neutralising just one negative thought or pattern can make a significant difference in your life. I had a stroke, I’m paralysed, and yet I’m happy! The crushing negative thoughts are gone.
Doctors are amazed at my progress. I can walk on my own, albeit with the support of a cane. My smile has recovered 70%, and I’ve noticed the first signs of movement in my thumb! My recovery from the stroke has been surprisingly positive, thanks to MER Biofeedback therapy. I have 100% faith that I will fully recover!
