No. I don't have TMS, just Classic migraines and occipital neuralgia. Hope the machine helps you.

Hi I have recently tried the Spring TMS device. I got to 12 pulses per day and my brain had a bit of a melt down. So started back at 1 pulse a day. Early days so still not sure. But I have been in contact by email with the eNuera people, a lady call Susan DiGuilio who has been super helpful. She said listen to your own body and how it is responding to the device. Go at your own pace that feels comfortable for you.

Good luck with this

Thankyou so much

Yes I too have spoken with this lovely lady

What symptoms did you get when you have the melt down ?

I’m only week 2 atm

But I had a horrendous migraine 3 days after starting which lasted longer than usual

Maybe a coincidence

Maybe mine was also a coincidence but a migraine episode began and was a really intense one and it wouldn't go. After the third day of also being very sick I went to A & E to get it under control ( intravienous pain relief, anti sickness and fluids). It settled enough that I could use my usual triptan and anti sickness, but I was left with a sore head for about another 4 days. None of the above is my usual pattern so who knows.

It sounds likely it was the machine if it’s unusual pattern

It must have some horrible effects if we are zapping our brains !

I can’t imagine getting to 12pulses a day atm

I think I feel nauseous at just 4. Pulses a day

As you say time will tell
