Start of 2nd week today.
Well the thought of no side effects was a beautiful one but it's not exactly the case for me! I have been having quite a bit of pain in my body both on the left side (arm/shoulder/neck/chest) and as of today on the right side (arm/back). In addition, I have experienced mild feelings of being "out of it" not that I've lost my memory or feel cognitively impaired, just "out of it" and only mildly. I feel lightheaded so that could attribute to that feeling. However, I will not be deterred! These side effects are NOTHING in comparison to what I have experienced in the past with antidepressants and I can not necessarily attribute them all to TMS. It's possible my depression is lifting and I am now more aware of my pains, not sure. Either way, I am pushing through, this is not enough to stop me now.
On the positive side I started to feel less depressed after 3 treatments and that is only getting better. Today I was singing and dancing at home to a music video and I have not had many crying spells. So I really do think this is working. I am not 100% for sure but hey I'm only in week 2!
I'll update again next week, unless anybody has any questions.
