    I finished my 30 scheduled treatments today, but the doctor extended this by 6 treatments since my insurance had already approved them.
    I feeling better than when I started, but not as good as I had hoped.

    It took 4 weeks for me to acclimate to the sessions. They told me that most people adapt much more quickly than I did. I hope the pain clears up for you.

    I finally reached my target intensity today and it wasn’t too bad. I asked the technician how they determine the target value and he told me it’s from the initial mapping and that everyone has different values. Mine is pretty like at 65 because I take some stimulants that make my brain hyper reactive to the pulses.
    So things are going much better than last week.

    The equipment is MagVita, so the numbers may differ. I just need to toughen up. With this system a hear a sequence of beeps, the the zaps start.
    Thanks for your encouragement. I’m looking forward to having 2 days off for the weekend.

    Today wasn’t too bad. I think I’ve finally realized that its going to be pretty uncomfortable and I just gave to deal with it.
    The tech told me that I’m at level 58 and need to get to 64!

    I hope your next treatment is better. Mine haven’t bothered my eyes, but the muscle above my left eye twitches.

    Day 4 was ok – a bit worse than day 3, but better than Day 2

    Today’s treatment went a lot better. I think it was the same intensity, but it wasn’t as uncomfortable. The tech says I’ll get used to it. Tomorrow tgay are raising the intensity afain.
    I took some Aleve this morning so that may have helped.
    Thanks for asking

    Thank you. The tech moved it around a little, but never got too good. I’m definitely going to take Aleve or something before I go tomorrow.
