Oh, God, I would LOVE to get ECT right now. That is my only hope - unfortunately, like I mentioned in my reply above, both of my insurance carriers refuse to cover the one doctor who performs ECT in my city. The closest one that they will cover is four hours away, which I cannot travel to. This is so discouraging, because I feel like ECT would be the answer to my prayers. ECT helps 80 to 90% of those who get it - most see results within two weeks of the onset of treatment. I would give a kidney to see results within two weeks of now! I feel like a cure is so close, but so far away, and I am tired of getting my hopes up and being let down. I definitely feel like I'm getting great treatment from my doctor; he's like my family member and I could never have survived this illness for eight years without him So in that area, I am very blessed. Have you had ECT? If so, did it work?

Thank you so much for replying to my post!
