I finally started ECT treatment last week, after nearly nine months of campaigning to get treated. I've completed two treatments now and I'm scheduled for the third tomorrow. Although I'm still a long shot from being "cured," it's already becoming clear that the treatment is helping, more than any med has helped so far. Hopefully the improvements will continue and the memory loss will stay at a minimum. So far I haven't noticed anything important missing, but I understand those effects can be cumulative. I have to say that general anaesthesia twice a week is pretty rough, but so far it's worth it, although the anaesthesia hangover does make it kind of hard to accurately judge the effects on my energy and concentration levels. It's too bad I wasted so much time not getting treated at that first hospital. Oh how I would love to tell those arrogant doctors "I told you so!" But I'll settle for getting better instead.
