TMS

Hi There. I have had depression for 45 years and tried tonnes of pills, therapy, diet and exercise. I am thinking it is time for something else and am considering TMS. I have cancer and only have a few more years. I would like to be able to enjoy myself. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hi Sadie, I had cancer a few years ago but am clear now. I have had severe depression since (triggered by something else) and have had ECT and TMS as well as medications. I have found TMS to be the most helpful and am having it at the moment. I do get headaches and very tired so I don't schedule anything else while I'm having it, it's just too much. I hope it works for you.

Dear Sadie23~

I'd like to join Sizii in welcoming you here to the Forum. I think your continuing search for a better life is something that can act as inspiration for the many in similar circumstances that will read your post.

As it so happens our resident Coach Craig has just been talking with another about TMS, you might be interested in having a look
