I don't know what type of ECT they gave me in hospital, but there were lots of them. They didn't tell me what they were doing or wheather or not I wanted them.
As for the alcohol I cut back down to 3 of my drinks. The thing is I had cut down to 1.5 of my drinks for 3 months and all my numbers were good again after the 3 months. So having been starved of alcohol I drank a little too much for the last few weeks. Now I have rationalized that 3 of my drinks a day will keep my numbers good. My doctor says to drink! He says it is better to drink a little than not at all or too much. So I am sticking to 3 for now and see if my numbers are still good. Drinking 1.5 for 3 months droped my triglicerides from 558 to 104 in three months so I think 3 a day at maintanance dose will work.
Christ empowered: I had a similar experience with ECT. They didn't realy give me a choice in the matter, which realy upsets me. Not to mention the incredably harmfull effect they had on my brain. Yes they were done 17 years ago, but still have a drastic effect on my brain. I actualy feel retarded from them. And I don't remember much from the few years before the ECT, its been 17 years when will my memory come back. Its hard to go on with your life like normal when you don't remember anything about your life. Itried to ask people who knew what I did back then but no one wants to say and I don't even know if its true? You can't get someone else to tell you what happened in your life, much less tell you what you thought of it . I feel like I'm born again which is hard because I'm actualy 38. I feel like I have the mental age of 17. Like I said before when I woke up from one of the ECTs I literaly thought I had just been born. My brain was wiped clean. Then when I got out of hospital moving on was imposible. People were so ununderstanding. And I didn't know what was going on.
Anyways I'm just upset about the ECTs they forced on me, but there is nothing I can do.
Hello, sorry I dumped on your ECT maybe they gave you a better type than me. And I'm just upset with ECT in general.
