ok 36 treatment finished…now the dr wants booster treatments
heres the kicker my insurance wont approve it!
but they will approve my psych stay if I try to commit suicide again
I don’t get ithi,
I just recently completed 36 tms treatments — and now the dr is recommending – 15 booster treatments
however my insurance won’t even consider it.
I dont’ t get it… im still on anti depressants
im still depressed
I still think that I don’t care if wake up tomorrow morning
if I knew I could accomplish what I tried to do 5 years ago – and that was an overdose- I would have done it by now
I do think about it….but I don’t think I would do that again because here I am – and I don’t want to end up in a psych ward for depression
I want to get HELP!!!
im afraid to try to end my life again for fear that it wont work
although I think of many other ways that it can be accomplished.
damn these insurance rules….hi,
I finished 36 tms treatmens on Saturday 8/18/18….sounds like a lucky number
not for me… the treatments did not help in fact I fell into a deeper depression than before 🙁
after speaking to my psychiatrist – first he suggested some more treatments – Booster Treatments
it only means an additional 15 treatments—than he changed his tone and said he doesn’t think ANYTHING will help me 🙁
so I put on my fake smile and said ill see you in 3 months – and left.
slept the whole weekend – didn’t go to work yesterday
and just pushing a long — so nothing can help me!!!
good luck to you allfinished the 36 treatments of tms..since there was no improvement-.my psychiatrist feels that tms or ect –(which I don’t even want to attempt at this time) won’t help me.
that’s what he said!
now what?well two more treatments left — and I finally feel ok 🙂
yeah
spoke to the dr – and he is recommending booster treatments…
does anyone know how this works? I tried to google the info but it was hard to find
and I didn’t ask all the specific questions to dr that I wanted too, like how many times a week etc.
he said for about a month at a time.
and for the record – if necessary if i continue to feel okay – like i do
i will continue to do the booster treatments lifetime (of course if it is covered by my insurance)
im just afraid of not feeling ok – like in my previous posts
one day at a time….hi jen57
I hear what your saying but obviously nothing is guaranteed… I have always been resistant to medications and now apparently im resistant to tms and if wanted to go further like ECT—I probably would not succeed at that either. The truth is I was born this way…from when I was a little girl I remember feelings of depression and it never left me— oh there were some small periods in my life that it was under control
and even now its under control — I just wanted more… I just want to wake up one day and not cringe
I want to wake up and feel ok….not tired and like I have heavy boots on – dragging my feet
showing a phony smile at work.
how is your daughter doing? you mentioned she didn’t feel better until the end of the treatment–
is she ok? please let me know 🙂thanks for all your input… im starting to taper off with the treatments
the dr thinks maybe I should do some more treatments on the right side of my brain
however I question that only because I know the right side is primarily for anxiety – which I can deal with.
its the depression that’s wicked and knocks me on my butt 🙁well today will be my 31st tms treatment—and each time I still have hope that I will walk out of the office feeling better… I guess my expectations were way to high- I guess from all the reading and from the book I read
3000 pulses by Martha Rhodes gave me this encouragement. I feel like writing a book 3000 Pulses Later – and it didn’t work. I think when advertising this neurostar treatment the physicians should be more practical – and say it might not work for everyone…but its worth a try–NOT you’ll feel better by treatment #20.
thank you for letting me vent.thank you both.. especially jen57… that is very encouraging. 🙂
I only hope that will happen to me too.neurostar.
hi,
I too was very hopeful that tms would help me-unfortunately today will be my 27th treatment… and I don’t feel any better than my 1st treatment…perhaps just disappointed.
I plan on finishing out the 36 treatments, I guess- but I guess I was born this way…and obviously am going to live out the rest of my days dealing with depression. there is no cure!!
there might be assistance but no cure.
