Martha you asked how it has been going. Well… It is going ok overall. I have been improving most in the anxiety realm but also just a hint in the depression department as well. I can’t yet – perhaps even ever; but who knows its early times yet – separate whether the improvements are from TMS or my finally and slowly adjusting to the side effects of the prescription medications. I’m cautiously optimistic since everyone tells me, most people tend to experience noticeable improvements in the 4th week and beyond and that’s at least 3 more treatments for me, or thereabouts.
Physically the experience has not been too painful. A slight headache which was no big deal and even that is only after some session. During my last session 2 days ago I did get some right hand finger twitching. We adjusted it a bit and while it got less, it was still there. I’m having another session today and perhaps we can adjust as necessary.
At a different level, I was surprised how limited the participation seems to be on this Forum. My provider told me it was where I’d find the most people with an open forum etc. Going through the lists and postings I did not get that experience. I see there are several Facebook sites. Perhaps that’s the most attractive venue for sharing..? Don’t know.
Thanks.
