You tried all of those combos? Wow.
Chronic infections like Lyme go undetected pretty easily. Lyme is a pretty sly one, it is very good at hiding itself and still getting away with some mischief. Tests for Lyme are not always reliable. Have you had an Igenex western blot done? Even if you have, it still may not have given you an accurate result.
I think what BB is trying to say about ECT is that even if it helps, it may only make you feel better for 6 months to a year, and after that your brain may never again function the same. That is the risk that he is warning you about.
I was going to have ECT at one point, things were really really bad. I'm really glad I didn't take that risk. While the ultra-brief pulse sounds interesting and may be a step in the right direction with ECT, I still am leery of the treatment and will not consider it unless I simply can barely talk or move or it has been proven to be safe and effective without any of the current risks.
