I have read that tdsc has been used to help drone pilots learn quicker so I would assume that it would help video gamers. Don't know about depression though.

On the depression topic though, my psych believes that Ketamine will be the next "big" treatment for depression.

Fresh in from Yahoo. Very similar to tcds
 

I haven't seen any postings lately about tcds so I don't know if this discussion is okay but I found this article on Yahoo today and it is very similar to tcds. Thought some of you who've tried it might be interested. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/this-cou...8561.html?vp=1

That's interesting. Thanks for posting.

In case anyone is interested in an update...I'm still using the tDCS but only do treatments every couple weeks now. I found that if I stopped them all together I started having more difficulties sleeping and more flare ups again. By doing them once every couple of weeks I've maintained the progress I made by the more regular treatments in the beginning.

Catra...I have followed your post for a long time...Can you tell me if there are doctors or practices that are doing this now? I was very intimidated by the process when you posted it (with my non scientific brain!)

My doctor just had me treating at home and I did all my research online. There is a clinic in Atlanta that I think is referenced here on this thread in several places that specializes in the tDCS treatment. I think they also have an at home program where you travel there to learn how to use the machine, the protocols, etc and you will have them as a resource but then you continue treatment at home. They have also (I think) partnered with other physicians who were willing to assist with getting people started on treatment with tDCS. I did a search of "Atlanta tdcs clinic" and it popped right up.

Since I've been doing it on my own, partnering in the beginning with others who were using the treatment successfully, I'm not too familiar with the doctors who are using this treatment and the practice. But I would definitely recommend calling them and seeing what they have to offer or if they know of anyone else who is offering the treatment.

Catra121,

My 21 yr old daughter who developed CRPS in her L leg 6 months ago just started tDCS via Dr. Fugedy about a week ago. I wanted to ask you some questions but couldn't see a PM button, maybe it's because I've not posted enough or something? Could you tell me how to PM?

I believe you have to have a certain post count in order to PM...but I'm not sure how many.

How many posts to be able to pm
 

I suspect you are entirely correct, but I'm not sure how many posts are required before we enter the world of pming:) but hey now I'm one closer! One day I'll be able to pm you! and others!

I don't think it takes very many...and you are free to ask any questions here as well. Everyone on the board is very helpful and I have gotten so much useful information here...don't know where I would be now without it.

I think it's five posts before you can PM.
