I know you posted this years ago now so I'm not sure if you'll see this but I did ECT for about 6 months in 2023. I have had trouble with speaking correctly and severe memory issues that make me forget what I'm saying while I'm in a conversation with someone. I now have carpal tunnel at 23, so many nerve issues in my limbs, and I had to quit my job because of it. We're trying to figure out what symptoms are from ECT and which aren't, but you're not alone. I wish I never did it.

@turttoosty thank you for the update and posting. sometimes you have no real choices but to have surgery or like me go till you drop and have to have it done. my injury and surgery this march will be two years and I'm still healing. its some days i win some i don't. still have memory problems and seizures let me know they are still only a few feet away. i figure out with so many work from home jobs available or phone ones might have to go back to school and I'm 69. thank you for your post and im sending prayers your way--------- sent
