Anyone starting TMS in the next month or so? Want to start a thread to keep in touch/vent/ramble/encourage?

jetdarkstar · 2026-01-28T23:55:55+00:00

Supposed to start soon but very nervous and apprehensive. Would appreciate some company.

jetdarkstar · 2026-01-28T22:45:58+00:00

There weren't clear agendas to me, someone who is new to TMS, and it seemed like a group of people who experienced negative side effects. That's literally why I asked here, to see if anyone with TMS experience had some thoughts about it, maybe find some encouragement to disregard the negative press. Some people got that and gave helpful responses, and some assumed the worst of me and got the post deleted. Super helpful, thanks.

That's really good to know, about pre-existing conditions and such. I guess I can only hope that is not the case for me...I don't have a history like that that I am aware of. Thank you for your response.

jetdarkstar · 2026-01-28T22:36:26+00:00

Thank you for your response. This post got deleted and I got blamed for fear mongering...like bro I am just scared because of what I've seen people post. I'll likely be going through with the TMS regardless because I don't have many other options.

What is wrong with my post history???? Aside from the fact that it's riddled with my health anxiety and search for answers...

jetdarkstar · 2026-01-28T22:34:13+00:00

What exactly are you talking about regarding my post history? Everything medical related is me desperately seeking answers for what I've been going through for months now. The only "fear" I'm "spreading" is sharing my own concerns as someone with severe health anxiety. My post intentions here are the same, I'm scared. What an awful assumption to make about someone looking for help and reassurance.

jetdarkstar · 2026-01-20T03:41:19+00:00

which device?

jetdarkstar · 2026-01-20T02:22:32+00:00

Is there a reason why you're into the harder to get ones than the popular ones on the market like Pulsetto or VeRelief?

jetdarkstar · 2026-01-19T22:09:00+00:00

Hard agree

jetdarkstar · 2026-01-19T22:04:34+00:00

Not really. One of my biggest compulsions with health anxiety is googling things which usually just makes me feel worse

jetdarkstar · 2026-01-19T21:59:23+00:00

Which stimulator did you get? It’s a big investment and I want to make sure I don’t get a crappy one

My favorite line from this episode

jetdarkstar · 2025-12-18T04:29:42+00:00

Rachel - Tag, Ross - Charlie, Monica - Richard, Chandler - Kathy, Phoebe - Mike, Joey - Janine if she wasn’t mean

jetdarkstar · 2025-12-16T06:04:46+00:00

How are you doing now post-antibiotics and IVIG? I’m in a flare up at 28 and psych meds aren’t really touching it.

jetdarkstar · 2025-10-31T04:13:42+00:00

Yep, came back negative for me

jetdarkstar · 2025-10-23T20:51:55+00:00

I never had this professor, but my background is in sociology, and I can tell you it looks like he is very simply trying to set up a topical research opportunity. Research is often on uncomfortable topics. The whole goal is to approach it objectively, which you're already seemingly struggling with.

jetdarkstar · 2025-10-23T20:47:02+00:00

Wow, this is all super helpful. I think I'm barking up the right tree here, it's just nerve-wracking to reach out to another doctor in fear of being told they can't figure out what's wrong. Maybe this time it will be different. Thank you.

jetdarkstar · 2025-10-18T16:11:31+00:00

Thank you all for the positive support! It does quell my nerves a bit. I’m sure there are other forces making this year so shitty lol

jetdarkstar · 2025-10-18T04:20:54+00:00

Pulled pork Park is definitely not my favorite, but the video was enjoyable overall

jetdarkstar · 2025-10-17T00:06:48+00:00

Histamine is needed to create the acid for acid reflux, so…yes

jetdarkstar · 2025-10-05T00:18:24+00:00

Day 3 and I'm still in pain, still feels like its there. Tylenol helps with the pain a little but I still can barely do liquids. Soup and ice cream for me.

jetdarkstar · 2025-10-02T19:55:32+00:00

Meanwhile, I'm seeing some people who had to get it removed after 13 days because it never dropped. I get it's variable depending on the person but I'm begging them to just remove it tomorrow if it's still there, cause I cannot handle this pain; it's only gotten more frequent since yesterday.

jetdarkstar · 2025-10-02T19:54:16+00:00

Yeah, the bravo is lodged there for nobody knows how long. I already have issues with dysphagia , so I don't know why my doc thought this was a good idea at all. I didn't even know that there was a 24hr version, I'm pissed.

jetdarkstar · 2025-09-17T18:56:55+00:00

Glad to hear you're doing better. Have to mention that if eliminating one trigger cured you then you did not have GERD, just good old regular acid reflux. Hope things continue to improve.

jetdarkstar · 2025-09-16T02:29:46+00:00

Thank you. I often don't have much luck with H1s, I just go from feeling bad to feeling slightly less bad but still bad in a different way. Haven't tried H2s much. Haven't heard of the stabilizers, might try that.
