> Blueberry thought you were going to continue less frequently. Are you working again? Love Phillipa
Just started a new job Phillipa. I pretty much forgot many parts of how to do my other job I've done for 7 years, and reached a threshold where I was just not liking it anymore.
ECT amnesia/confusion is usually not as bad as mine was. Mine was at the extreme end of the spectrum. Thank God I'm maybe 85% recovered from that amnesia/confusioin stuff, though there is about a 2 month chunk of my life that is gone forever and I will probably never regain memory of what happened in those 2 months.
My pdoc said it best...ECT is highly effective but also highly intrusive. You can't drive the same day. You may not be able to hold a job. You will have some degree of amnesia.
