Unfortunately, TMS is not yet approved in the U.S. (where I live) to treat FMD/FND. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who lives in a country where TMS is approved for this use.
If you have used TMS, what was your experience like? Did it help ameliorate your FMD symptoms? Any side effects.
Thanks so much..

I would recommend a very cautious approach to such treatment. TMS is not well understood and as far as i am concerned it STARTED my seizures! It was used on me during investigations into the symptoms i then had (2013) and my first seizure resulted in immediate Resus requirements. Further research has highlighted this is a "rare" occurrence, but as our brains are already stressed and not operating correctly i cant help feeling any "generally untargeted" interference such as this isn't the best idea and the investigators were really taking a risk with me. I lost out big time!
it hasn't been approved here in the UK either. I had it during investigations into other symptoms i had, such as tremors, left side numbness and speech issues. Unfortunately i reacted badly as is occassionally the case apparently now I've recovered from FND and been able to do more research.
