HI,
I had some bilateral treatments awhile ago. I felt better but also had a where bad feeling along with it. I don't know why, I think the shocks where hitting an area where they shouldn't have. If I do it again I would probably try a different electrode placement like high-dose unilateral or bifrontal. Also, after 7-8 or treatments I really got burnt out emotionally going through the stress of the treatments and found it difficult to continue. Maybe you should take a week off and continue.
P.S. I think what the nurse said is B.S. You should have high expectations.
Hope this helps.
Dave
