It is almost official; I am being discharged from hospital on Wednesday after eight weeks IP! Saw the registrar today and he said I am good to go. All I need to do now is see my pdoc, who has been on sick leave with a broken arm (surgery). Hopefully my pdoc will come in to see me by Wednesday as I am climbing up the walls in here. My TMS treatment ends on Wednesday morning so I can leave after that.
The TMS has really helped. I recommend it to anyone with depression (can't do when manic) that won't respond to two or more AD's or other meds. Here in Australia it is fully covered by my health insurance (as long as I am IP) but I don't know what the deal is elsewhere. It is a fairly new treatment so is not done in many places yet. I am just so happy to be stable, not high, not low, just good old plain stable. May it last a long time. I have previously rapid cycled bad – like getting very ill after only two months stable each time – so I am hoping this will stop the cycling too.
Free HUGS to all.
