Anyone ever had this treatment and/or know where it can be done near Minnesota?

Hello @sash, Mayo Clinic does offer TMS treatment but I'm not sure of the specifics. Here's the page for more information - Transcranial magnetic stimulation: https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/transcranial-magnetic-stimulation/about/pac-20384625.

@sash - have you discussed this possibility with your provider? It is an interesting article as most literature is about it being used for depression and other diagnoses along those lines. You can read about some members' experiences along those lines in another discussion called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/tms/.
