Has anyone tried TMS for pain relief

morning meg I havnt heard of this hun it sounds very interesting, and much better than taking drugs, Im going to have a google on it, thank you for sharing that with us meg enjoy your day take care gentle hugs xx

Hi Meg, I use a magnetic back support when I know I will be standing a lot and it really does help. I bought it from ebay. So magnets must be helpful some how.

I didn't find a Tens machine useful personally but my neighbour has one for his Shingles pain and he finds it useful.  hugs x

Hi Meg, thanks for the info.  Haven't heard of this process but as others have said will definitely research it online.  The idea of magnets to relieve pain has however been around a long time.  I bought some bracelets at a craft fair or similar some years back in the hope of relieving my thumb joints arthritis pain.  Everyone was extolling their virtues but unfortunately they did nothing for me.  They weren't high cost and were quite attractive just as bracelets but the magnet theory didn't fulfil its promise.  This TMS you mention seems to be a step forward however and certainly worth investigating.  Thanks hon.  

I've done with meds, nothing works and all of them cause more problems than they solve.  I've ditched the lot.  This of course means I have days of disaster - constant pain and when the fatigue hits it wipes out not just by body but my brain too, it's an uphill struggle even to speak to anyone.  Not figured out yet whether the pain itself causes the fatigue and the fatigue causes the brain black out or if they're all unrelated symptoms, just know when it hits I feel like a 90 yr old not a 60 yr old and given that there is no physical illness to cause it, add into the mix total frustration at not knowing why this is happening, I'm not a happy bunny at times.  The weariness of dealing with this constantly is probably the most life inhibiting factor, I'm sick to death of being sick, if that makes sense

just tried googling tms what came up was test match  special will have another try xx

Hi Meg Ive just found it and read up on it, I suddenly remembered my mother in law has had it done she had severe depression. it helped her her depression has gone. it mentioned it can cause memory loss I had to laugh at that bit. I thought well that wouldnt matter already have that. hope your having a good day meg take care hun xx

Hi Meg.  I'd heard of this type of therapy for anxiety/depression before but hadn't seen it mentioned for pain treatment. very interesting.  It is however very expensive, definitely not funded here in the UK by the NHS, not sure about other countries and their insurance providers.  I think the average cost per session, without insurance, is probably in the region of £500 - £1000.
