Hi Lefty,

ECT is rather out of favour over here, and it is unlikely I would be a candidate anyway. As I understand it an epileptic fit is induced under general anaesthetic.

Firstly, I suffer from Coronary Ischaemia and Microvascular Disease, my heart is damaged from a heart attack. I become Brady Hypotensive during Angiogram or chemically induced Stress Tests. When I had Cancer I had to go the chemo/radiotherapy option as no Anaesthetist was willing to risk a General on me.

Then, I take anti-convulsants as some little preventative from Chronic Cluster Headaches. I still suffer Attacks 4-6 times a week and they contribute to my Depression, but I could not survive any length of time without the meds.

Thanks for the suggestion, but with my multiple issues ECT is not an option.

Dave.
