Hi Denise.. I am convinced that the TMS made a big difference for me- not just because of the subjective sense of well-being which I have most of the time now, but because of the before-and -after Beck Depression ratings which I have been doing since last October. I was steadily in the "severe" category, with suicidal thoughts, until the TMS. In the four months since then, I am either in the "normal" or "slightly depressed" categories- but have never had the feelings of worthlessness and of wanting to end my life which were so prominent and horrible before. I know that I could relapse at any time- but I'll get myself right down to Atlanta if I do!
Dr. Hutto's office sends out a list of motels, hotels and residence motels witin a few minutes drive of the medical center. I stayed at a residence motel, which cost about $125 per week (I made the reservation in two 10-day segments, which allowed me to get the lowest rate). The room had a TV, microwave, cook-top and separate bath. It was pretty basic, but OK. There was a supermarket across the street. When I first came, I was too depressed to cook, but as I got better (after about a week), the cooking facilities came in handy.
All the very best, Denise!
