What happened to me
I received ECT treatments from August 2022 till March 2023 three I received three treatments a week. I became a shell of myself a zombie. Everybody said I was throwing up every single day I have amnesia. I started falling for no reason that has not stopped. Also, the vomiting never went away. I have now been diagnosed with a Neuro gastrologist gut to brain disorder that they have tied back to my ECT treatments because that’s when it all started I have cyclic vomiting syndrome and gastroparesis. Your memory doesn’t always come back. I have trouble building short-term memories. This is not fear mongering this is facts and everybody needs to know the risks versus their rewards. I never I was hospitalized more and more suicidal during my treatments. It does not work for everybody and at some point, somebody should’ve stepped in and said this isn’t working for this patient but nobody did I did I was hospitalized. I had been weak without my treatments and I said I don’t want them anymore. I had no idea how much damage had already been done. I don’t know how to cook anymore. I don’t remember things. I have six kids. I don’t remember their birth. I don’t remember. There’s so much that’s gone, but I’ll never get back. I don’t know how to drive anymore building new memories. I tell them the same thing three times a day. I repeat myself over and over again and I’ve been sick and I had no idea that the reason I lost 50 pounds in seven weeks and my stomach was paralyzed. I had no idea that it was a neurological damage that caused this gut to brain issue but it makes sense. It makes sense so please know all of the risks before you go up and sign and do it.
