Hi, this info arrived from Kathrynne Holden a few minutes ago - maybe it is for you.... In my last email I made a mistake with explaining rTMS : repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation - therapy, I forgot to write the word "Stimulation." During my 6 and half-day (!) stay with this certain Hungarian doc, I got altogether 14 + 14 repetitive electro shock shots into my brain (for two territories of the brain) and the same quantity on my neck (spondylosis cerv, and univ,) and also the same quantity on my lumbosacral column region, one minute of each. . Let's add: 56 electro shock treatments in 6(and half) days.... Without any control, regarding the fact that not the doc, but her old, retired assistant gave the shock "shots" to the patients, yes, in absence of the doc! A bit later, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow I'll try to tell the whole story - now it is too late here, I'm tired a bit. I had alot to do with my e-magazine today. Sorry for my mistakes, about midnight my English is getting worsen, worsen, worsen... Good night, Olga Here is Kathrynne's message: Dear Listfriends, the following article contains information of possible interest for some folks. Best, Kathrynne =================================================== Magnetic Stimulation Relieves Depression CHICAGO, Aug 25, 2002 (United Press International via COMTEX) -- Painless magnetic waves pulsed across the brain appear to relieve depression as well as the more traumatic and standard electro-convulsive shock therapy, researchers said at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association. Called repetitive trans-cranial magnetic stimulation, the experimental procedure, which consists of a series of 20 treatments over a 2-to-4-week period, dramatically improves the condition of people with severe depression, said Sheila Dowd, associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Illinois at Chicago. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_9090.html ----- Original Message ----- From: ronakyo <[log in to unmask]> To: Parkinson's Information Exchange Network <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2002 10:13 AM Subject: Re: Introducing myself > Dear Herbert and John, > SNIPPED > And a question to Herbert: why are you looking for this Hungarian doc? > I had been her patient for a while this spring, SNIPPED ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
