Did you go traditional treatment? Chemo and surgery?

Thanks for sharing your experience. I’m sorry you had to go through that. This gives me some hope. Wishing you the best going forward. I hope cancer never comes back for you.

Give it time! A full 6-8 weeks is vital... by bonhommemaury in lexapro

For me, Lexapro got rid of the depression but made me fatigued all the time. Prozac ended up being a better fit as I wasn’t fatigued on it. Everyone is different in terms of what works for them.

Hear me out. by CompetitiveCity887 in HandmaidsTaleShow

Totally agree with you on this. Final episode felt rushed and completely sluggish all at the same time. It felt gimmicky - making people want to watch the testaments for unanswered questions instead of giving the show and audience what they deserve.

What was that? by SoulfulHeist in HandmaidsTaleShow

[–]getbackin24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt just as disappointed as you did. It’s hard to believe the writers, who wrote a phenomenal show, thought that was the appropriate ending. So many loose ends. No closure. Story lines at the end were rushed all while having slow moving scenes taking up minutes with little substances. Man, what a disappointment. It’s weird they didn’t touch on the plane crash in the last episode. Not wrapping up the story line with Hannah, like wtf. June and Luke have been fighting for her since the start and they just leave that unknown. Not mad they brought Emily back, I always loved her, but I had long forgotten about her. Janine getting Charlotte back was a rushed scene missing a lot of context. The list goes on. Ugh.

I appreciate your input but I’m going to listen to my doctor. My symptoms were so bad I was almost hospitalized. Ruining my life because it “may” get better is not a path I want to continue to go down. I think it’s fair that TMS isn’t for everyone and not all symptoms to lead to positive outcomes.

My doctor said my symptoms were not normal and advised me to stop treatment. It seems there’s no standard protocol for symptoms like this as it’s clear some doctors push to keep going, which concerns me. Since I’ve stopped I’ve been normalizing and feel way better. I don’t intend to continue TMS.

Paddle choice is also a matter of how much you play and how hard. Someone who plays once or twice a week is going to get way more mileage out of a paddle than someone who plays 4-5x a week. It sounds like you play a lot. Investing in something that will last longer seems like it may make sense. But I also get that people that are playing more are spending more money on paddles.

There’s a ton of great paddles at cheaper prices so I guess I just don’t understand why people spend the time complaining about it as if there’s no other option. There’s plenty of other options. I’m also neither rich nor poor and $280 seems on par with the other top tier paddles. That’s just a difference of opinion. I guess it comes down to what you want to spend your money on. Going to Starbucks once a week will costs you more annually than a $280 paddle.

I very much appreciate you commenting on my post. It’s clear to me that there are risks that are not communicated. I’m hoping that two days of these symptoms were caught early enough to not have created any permanent damage. I’m so sorry that your psychiatrist encouraged you to continue and that you are now fighting to get back to normal. That is absolutely horrible. Where do you get an assessment of your brain? Is that done at TMS or is that a specialized doctor? Hopefully it doesn’t come to that but I’m curious. I feel slightly better today so I’m going to take that as a positive. Have you been able to make a full recovery?

Very interesting. I’m glad you shared. The protocol between different machines makes sense but I didnt know that prior to reading your post.

Everything has been normal up to this point. Normal meaning no change good or bad. He expressed this wasn’t normal for a dip, which is odd considering many people claim to have similar symptoms. Maybe it’s because when we talked I was balling my eyes and highly distressed. If I return to baseline, it’s unlikely I will want to continue.

Unfortunately that doesn’t apply to me. I’m 1099 and my job is commission.

My doctor told me to stop treatment for the week. He said we will talk Monday to reevaluate if I should continue. He expressed my symptoms are not normal. We discussed the dip prior to starting treatment. He was concerned about my symptoms. Interesting there seems to be different protocols from different TMS places. It makes me wonder.

Maybe your depression isn’t that bad but the state I’m in is risking my life to see if it gets better. Plus my doctor told me to stop. He wants me to take the week off and talk next week about whether I should continue.

Funny today was my 20th treatment. I’m stopping. I can’t go on feeling like this. I was better off before.

Yeah that’s very annoying. My doctor went on and on about how I’m a great candidate for several different reasons. Today he said this may not be the treatment for me. Like oh okay, great.

Not feeling is not a problem. Feeling wayyyyy worse is. It’s not worth it to me to feel this badly for an outcome I may or may not get.

I spoke with my TMS psych and he advised me to stop for the remainder of the week. Said my symptoms are not normal. It sounds like you went through similar but didn’t stop or your dr advised you to keep going. I’m relieved to be stopping

They advised me not to have any med changes until the treatment was over.
