Hello Fred:
I've been on over 40 meds (plus combos)to date. I am only 36 years old.
Today my PDOC asked me about ECT. I said "no way!". I know it can help people. I have seen it help people when I have been in the hospital. However, I know several people personally who have lost both long term and short term memory. And ECT is not a one time deal. You often need booster shots. Also, I am worried about my IQ. I have an IQ in the 180 range and I have a problem with frying my brain. At the same time however, I think I am probably doing the same thing via chemicals ...
We also talked about Deep Brain Stimulation. Oddly enough, I am willing to have holes drilled into my head and have this procedure. There are researchers just one Province away from where I live who are recruiting volunteers. My PDOC is going to contact them. We shall see.
Thanks for caring Fred.
Maxime
> Dear Maxime have you been offered or had ECT? I know I'd have it if I got bad enough. At present I'm in good shape because, well who knows? I've realised I need to be with people and they need me! Also L-Tyrosine appears to give me my energy back. In a month or so it might all turn to custard though.
