BJ,
I've been thinking about you and couldn't shake this uneasy feeling that something was not right. So I did a search for you here and read through your posts to see where you were at....... I had no idea that you were going through such difficult times. I wish I had looked for you earlier, I'm sorry, I just didn't know that I could do such a search here. I'm still new to this kind of thing ~'.'~

I am not real familiar with ECT therapy other than what I have read on the net. I have had some dental patients tell me that they went through the treatments for various reasons, but it wasn't something that I discussed with them in any detail. Perhaps I should have and I will certainly be more attentive to this subject in the future.

I really just want you to know that I'm thinking about you and I wish for you a healthy, stable outcome. I pray that these treatments provide you with the ability to lead a happy life and free you from the anxieties that cause you such despair.

You can see from all of these posts that you are never, ever alone! Sending you very BIG...... BIG........ hugs!! Please visit us soon ~'.'~

BJ - I am sorry you are having such a long, rough time. I applaud you for hanging in there...and working hard to get better.

My daughter is 25 and had ECT this past year. I think she would say her experience was pretty good - she did have some temporary short term memory loss. She was tired the day of the treatment (because of the sedation) and had some minor muscle soreness but it was helped by some advil.

I know it is a scary thought - I was scared for her - but it takes a brave and determined person to do what you have to do to get improvement.

Please keep us posted. It is clear that you have many who love you and want you around a very long time!

Yo BJ - Can ya hear us NOW?
