    Starting week 3. I am happy to say that I have ad some desensitization of the area being tapped. I have found that focusing on something else really helps. My treatment office has Netflix on and I read the captions and it has made a difference for me. My spouse said he has seen some change in me and that is a very good thing.

    Colleen,
    Thank you for your post.I truly appreciate your insight. As I go through TMS treatment, I do have hopes of remission. I want that Light of Life and that is what keeps me going at this point.

    I am new to the group and hoping the 2 of you that have posted are doing well. I just finished my first week of TMS. I’m on quite a few meds and hoping to be able to get off of at least some. I was able to manage my depression for years taking Effexor. Then I found out I have fibromyalgia and was switched to cymbalta which has slowly increased over the years. I had a major meltdown after my father died unexpectedly and that is when all of the other meds came in to play. The side effects are terrible. I am hoping the TMS is successful. I know I may always need some type of med, but hopefully not as many as I take now.

    sunflower78,
    I can totally relate to what you are saying. I have anxiety and depression and I too wonder if this is something that will help me. I am so tired of feeling like I do. It seems no one understands or at least I haven’t found anyone who has had to deal with the feelings I do on a daily basis. I started TMS and had 2 treatments and became suicidal, so took a week off and have just finished 5 sessions. I think it is painful…they say I will get desensitized. I can only hope. They say they have to use it at 120 for it to be therapeutic. I don’t feel better yet. I want so badly to get off of the massive amounts of medication I take. I hate the side effects. I hope there are still people who read and respond to this blog. I seems a lot of the posts are from last year.
