I had my first treatment of TMS yesterday, the first visit lasted two hours.
Initially the doctor had to do a "brain mapping", figuring out where to put the device and at what level it needed to be at.
The machine sends magnetic impulses to the brain at 26 second intervals, for about 40 minutes. It feels like a woodpecker tapping on your head and I found it extremely uncomfortable, but I managed to get through it.
The treatment consists of 5 treatments a week x 6 weeks, I just hope I can make it to the sixth week. If TMS works, I should start seeing results within 4 weeks.
I have my second treatment today......wish me luck!
