going for deep tms...

Posted by johnLA on August 3, 2014, at 10:56:55

hi all-

today, yes on a sunday :), i will be meeting with one of the few docs using the newer tms therapies called 'deep tms.'

i am hoping that i can get started right away. i have spoken to her over the phone a few times already and she says there is 'significant' efficacy over regular tms with the newer deep tms. she does both.

i have to come-up with the monies upfront, but my insurance does cover it. she told me that she has not had anyone denied reimbursement after filing a claim with blue shield california. fingers crossed on that!

i asked a friend if pre-paying $9k for a chance at getting better was a wise move. he asked about the chances; i said it seems the therapy gets 30% to 50% of people improved. he said go for it. he's my roommate and childhood friend. he knows/remembers what i was like before i got depressed.

so, i will report my experience (if, she thinks i am a good candidate and i start it) here as i did with the ketamine trial and even the marijuana trial for those of you who remember.

there are very few links/studies regarding deep tms. if anyone wants to link any on this thread go ahead.

i am pretty tired of researching about depression treatments to be honest. guess i could use some help if someone feels like it. (hugh? :))

wish me luck please.

godspeed good health to all of us.

john
