Sorry to not have good news yet. The staff doesn't seemed concerned that I haven't seen improvement yet, but I probably should have gotten a little better by now. I thought I was 3 days ago, but have slipped back. I also have terrible headaches from them. They say people only really have them for the first few times, but of course I am the exception. I was the first one he has prescribed loratab for (which didn't help). I need to have a higher frequency because I am on Lamictal & xanax. They determine the frequency from the initial muscle twitching test to find the right area of the brain.
The dr. was conservative with me and said about a 50% chance, but the aid said she see's an improvment in about 80%. And the people who go to the clinic are the hard to treat cases. She also said they had given up hope on on guy, but on the 20th treatment he turned around.
