Has anyone with Hashi's recently tried ECT? I am interested in hearing from anyone's opinions.
My great pdoc suggested it after 3-4 yrs of trying every AD, etc and combos with no success.I was devastated-felt she was sick of no succes with any meds...
She sent me to an ob-gyn in 2004 (another great dr) who tried female hormones, etc.
Last Jan he trusted me enough to let me try Armour thyroid. 5 months later I was finally diagnosed with Hashimoto's autoimmune disease.
I have had chronic fatigue for ten yrs(from untreated Hashi's; 10 drs failed to test my ANTIBODIES-depression started gradually and is now so bad I am at a loss for what to do. I am not optimized on my thyroid medicine after one year...I am bed-ridden, can't drive, no motivation... briefly tried ADs again with no improvement.
Any thoughts? Pdoc said it takes 6-9 treatments as an outpatient.........Our insurance stinks so I wonder what it costs per treament
Pdoc also gave me info on Vagas nerve ; she said it releases serotonin and norepin.
I am in such a fog. can someone think clearly for me...thanks and please dont be offended if i cant respond to u. i have been so sick and this stupid laptop is acting up too
(Hello to SLS, chemist, Philippa, and countless others who have helped keep me going; thanks)
