It is the first time my symptoms spread. It really scared me. Where else will it spread?
I read about the tDCS but I am confused about how I get started. I know my insurance will say no but can I get the equipment on my own? Is it expensive?
Thanks,
Lupus
The equipment is not expensive (relatively speaking). Using the sites that are listed on page 2 of the tDCS thread I was able to get everything I needed for treatment at home for about $300 (and that's without any assistance from insurance). All I needed was for my doctor to write a script for the tDCS unit itself. Everything else could be ordered without a script.
