Half way journey with Trans Magnetic Stimulation ( TMS) trial treatment - 2014

Its now two weeks in to my Trans Magnetic Stimulation  (TMS) treatment .

Its still an unusual sensation and this has not changed or decreased in any way and still continues to feel like a pecking bird above my eyebrow.

I still feel the odd sensation like pins and needles and wave of coldness washing over me but that seems to be it in its severity ,which is amazing !! Im so relieved ....

I have during this time to contend with my new suprapubic catheter and it has been very painful and uncomfortable ,keeping me awake and in general more bothersome than the treatment and my Fibro symptoms ,which is a rather big statement .

After treatment I decided to navigate my way to a close by casualty to get it checked out ,only to realise that I don't really have any navigational skills ,or body strength to walk but it needs to be done .... with instructions in my mind ,I proceeded slowly and cautiously around the block until I found the bus stop I was directed to .

As I ventured through city streets upon the bus I just hoped it was taking me to the direction of the hospital ...The driver turned and indicated that my stop was next ,unfortunately this was the incorrect hospital .... he was then kind enough to say oh its a long way a way .... but told me ahead of time when I was due to get off ,thank goodness..... little did I know there was another walk ahead of me ,by this time my fibro was moving right through my whole body ,and my supra pubic sight was on fire ,I was walking so slow .... but finally arrived and was promptly seen to .

After much testing and discussion I was able to head home later that evening with future things to think about .... many things whirling in my head that made me feel confused and saddened I just felt awash with fatigue and emotion .

Was looking forward for the new day and feeling brighter and anticipating less pain ....
This next day was my last day and was my half way point of treatment !!

Last day of TMS.....
Feeling brighter and focused on my TMS treatment and how its effecting me ,well after a huge day of emotion and of physical activity yesterday I thought compared to usual my body actually responded better than it would have normally .Given this day my body had somewhat recovered from yesterdays walking was remarkable for me ..... yay.... so excited so far with how my body is responding .....
After treatment I completed my regular book of paperwork which records pain and emotion  indicators for the past week ,mine definitely differed from the previous week .... Im feeling somewhat positive at this stage ....

F is for ..... a slight bit of freedom ......
