Thank you very much for sharing !!!

Are you positive that your medical insurance won't pay for this, or at least a large percentage of it? I have Medicare and an AARP UnitedHealthCare supplement. And I know that those plans would cover it.

Did not help me but everyone responds differently.

Hello. I have had 2 complete cycles of TMI. Unfortunately, I had no relief from my depression. I know a lot of people have found it very beneficial. Fortunately, my treatment was covered by insurance.

Completely resolved depression and as side benefit, no alcohol for 1.5 yrs following treatment

So very very happy for you!!
How many weeks?
How long each session?
One time only doing?
How long has it been since treatment?
Any side effects during treatment?
Thank you greatly for your time!!
