TMS Treatment #1

1st TMS Treatment

The type of treatment I'm doing is on the brainsway device. My Dr set me up with the "theta burst" protocol, which only lasts three minutes. It was less uncomfortable than I was imagining. I hardly felt anything at all. I was pleasantly surprised.

How I Feel After

I have an extremely mild headache, and am more tired than usual (took a 2 hour nap afterward), but other than that I feel fine. I actually thought I felt a bit more "alert" and relaxed during and right after the session, but I'm not sure if this is from the device or just something else unrelated. My next session is tomorrow.

I hope this works. I have forgotten what "normal" feels like, but I do know it's not how I currently feel. It's really hard to imagine how three minutes a day on a device I barely feel can have any big impact at all.

Ketamine

My first ketamine session is Monday, and I'm much more nervous about that than the TMS.
