Hi Pfinstegg,
I still can't seem to find anyone in the UK who does rTMS apart from one practitioner in Birmingham and he's off sick with a stroke so I'm not sure when he'll be back.
Dr Hutto was kind enough to ring me back but he took me by suprise as to be honest I didn't expect him to ring me, so I wastn't really prepared with any questions. He did answer the questions I asked of him though, basically that it's 46% successful and that the fact that I've had a seizure shouldn't stop me from having the treatment. I've emailed him on the Relay Health site and he's been getting back to me. Who knows if I can't get it in England I might travel to the States to try it, although, sometimes I think I'm wasting my time but then what else would I do with it apart from feel depressed. I just wonder if I'm on a wild goose chase.
The return flight to Atlanta would only cost me about £255 so that's not too bad, he's going to let me know how much the treatment costs.
I just wish i could get some other peoples experiences of it (not that yours is irrelevant) it would just be nice to get some more personal feedback about it. Also some of the studies I've read concluded that rTMS was no more effective than Sham treatment so which studies do you go by?
I hope your still feeling well, can I ask you what drugs you had tried before rTMS and which ones helped?
Kind Regards
Denise
