Default BJ..

It seems your doctors are on the "cutting edge" in treating you.

Warm hugs...and many prayers for improvement.

(((((BJ)))))

cutting edge is good...

try to NOT cut the cheese while they are cutting the edge...or they might cut
something off by accident...LOL

don't "cut" yourself short. Sew yourself together in your own time...

thinking of you

I know this may be cutting edge but I'm just no so sure about it. I'm so frustrated about my memory loss right now. And I read it might never come back. I didn't have a good memory before and it's scary not remembering how to get from here to there.

BJ...My daughter had ECT and her memory has improved as time has gone one.

In the meantime - try some creative ways to remind yourself of the things you need to know....post-it notes might do the trick!

((((hugs))) Be patient with yourself!

ECT is not fun but in some cases it's the only hope. I'm not too confident I'll ever get my memory back because with or without the VNS I still might need maintenance ECTs. If anyone ever asks me if they should have them my answer would be an outright no. Your head hurts so bad and then you have to try and listen to people talking to you. You can't focus because all your thinking of is your head. So in the meantime I have to stock up on post it notes.
