I've got a pdoc in my hometown who is very enthusiastic about TMS. He has taken a one-week course with Dr, Mark George at the Univ. of South Carolina- he has studied it for 20 years and probably knows as much about it as anyone in the world. My pdoc is just waiting for the new machine (it's impossible to purchase an old one). He telephoned me about two weeks ago, saying that the approval application has been sent to the FDA (on March 30), and that the results of the Neuronetics trial are good enough that approval is expected before the end of 2006.
I'm planning on being his first patient, when he is able to get a machine!.

Each treatment takes 20 minutes, and costs about $150. You feel fine right afterwards. If you can find "compassionate use" in NYC, you could start soon. For me, and about 50% of the people who have tried it, it's a great treatment. It's possible to take twice-daily treatments (a total of 20) for two weeks, and then take maintenance ones. Depending on you, it might be one every six months, two a week, or something in between. I think it's a wonderful, side-effect free treatment; it would definitely be worth a try to see if it helps you.
