Yeah, they aren't doing tms at my hospital yet; they have the thing set up but are waiting for insurance or something. Another one just started by it's almost 2 hours away and I can't drive that every day for the treatments. I live in the middle of nowhere. My pdoc has done research with it and I know feels strongly it is a good treatment but it would have to be a lot closer to work for me. It also would be expensive since I'm on Medicare and outpatient treatments have a 20% copay. If I do ECT I'll be doing as much as possible IP or I won't be doing it (but they seem to do a lot of it IP anyway and I certainly qualify for IP right now).

I wish I could do tms though. I'm glad it worked for you.
