TMS Therapy

[itsmytime]

Tomorrow I go to my doctor for TMS. I am unsure if it starts tomorrow or I go in to talk about it first. I think I want to log it all as I am going through it. Hopefully by logging as I go I can tweak the best way for them to treat me.

Why is TMS therapy? Sorry for asking a dumb question.

Hey Lindyloo53,

TMS stands for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation.

Used for PTSD & severe depression.

Good luck!!

I did a booster treatment last Friday & going in for another today.

Have a situation where I agreed to my husband moving back in with me (lived apart for 4 years).

These last 2-1/2 years of trying to care for someone with severe mental health issues & being on the receiving end of symptoms of anger, false accusations & breaks with reality is extremely stressful. It's affecting my PTSD recovery as it can be frightening to live with.

I woke up Saturday feeling refreshed and ready to work with the doctor & therapist to plan the best course of action for the future.

Hope all goes well for you.

I've research it on line and it appears it's not available in NZ yet. I'd love to hear how well it works for both you and Tzack.

I've now had my 4 booster treatments & have 1 more to go. My therapist commented on how my face looks so much brighter. The depression has lifted & I'm enjoying myself again. The feelings of overwhelming fear & hopelessness are pretty much gone. My husband gets back from his business trip Friday night & while I'm not looking forward to that I'm not panicked by the thought of his return. I've worked out a plan to start taking care of myself & making changes in my life. They will be baby steps but at least I'm moving forward.
