In reply to rTMS information, posted by floatingbridge on October 1, 2010, at 18:04:34
Hi Phillipa and twinleaf, the procedures would be separate. Today was an interview for a study where they MRI the brain of mdd suffers, do a battery of blood tests and cortisol and...? I made it into the semifinals :)
One of her questions was if I'd be open to taking medication for depression. Silly, I thought, since earlier I gave my med list. Upon reflection, they may require me to switch meds. That's most likely a no-good from my end.
However, as part of my answer, I said yeah, that I'm even considering rTMS. She perked up at that and said that doctor was three doors down, and she'd take my information to him with my permission. She went on to say they had an excellent team.
So, things may fall into place easily. We'll see. As far as I know, the two procedures are separate.
Twinleaf, I'll post whatever I find out about cortisol. With ptsd yards yards, my hpa axis is wacked, and available info just confuses me.
Thanks you two! (And everyone else.)
MDD currently controlled. C-ptsd and comorbid health concerns. Chronic fatigue.
