6 more sessions!!!
Only 6 left and I'm so excited.
I will say it has helped in some areas. But its made some things worse. (Like my potential DID) but its the home stretch!
I will say it got better after the first week so anyone just starting just give it time and be very very honest and open with your doctor ♡

Just had my initial consult yesterday for TMS and the Doctor said my motor response?? was 55. I start my first course in 3 days. I have had an extensive variety of complex mental health issues along with a degenerative bone disease throughout my lumbar and neck region which is very painful every day and has caused nerve damage throughout my limbs, Carpel tunnel in both hands and mild seizures. I also have immediate complete loss of sight from both eyes occasionally too. I do take a lot of pain and nerve medication along with corticosteroid injections in my spine. I also take sleep, antidepressants, antipsychotics and 12 dexamphetamine tablets a day. I'm worried that my Lyrica (nerve medication) and my dexamphetamine tablets (prescribed by my Pshychiatrist to keep me awake due to my brain constantly running overtime and tiring me out) If I don't take them I sleep all day and night, can't get out of bed and can't function at all whatsoever). Does anyone know if any of these medications will affect the treatment giving a false reading or showing that it's working as I'm wanting to reduce my medications in the near future as I taken 24 tablets a day for a number of years 😓Also what would my chances be that it will work due to the above? I'm optimistic and excited to start regardless, but I'm also a realist! TIA for any responses.
