Yes it's rTMS and I'm not sure what kind of machine. Day 3 was much better. My husband came with me for support. I took a Tylenol 3 for pain and a vistaril for anxiety. The pain was not as severe and it was tolerable. Halfway through I was able to bump up to 85%. I finally had some hope!! Day 4 was also okay. I just took the Tylenol 3. Vistaril knocks me out for the rest of the day and I'm so sleepy I cannot function. But that's ok because my anxiety was only from the pain, and when the pain decreases so does the anxiety. Day 4 was a little more painful than day 3 because we started at 85% and moved up to 90% halfway through. Still tolerable pain. I think the medicine took the edge off. It wasn't so sharp and stabbing. I think I can do this for 30 sessions although I do hope the pain continues to lessen! I also hope that eventually I will be able to get through a treatment without the medicine.
Thanks for this!
