Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone here has experience with TMS and also has EDS or hypermobility. I’m nearing the end of my treatment sessions, but these questions recently came up because my provider is considering extending my treatment.

I’m curious if EDS or hypermobility could affect how quickly someone responds to TMS, or if connective tissue/collagen-related issues might mean needing more sessions than the average person before noticing improvement.

I’d really appreciate hearing any personal experiences or insights. Thank you!

I gotten my eyelashes done numerous of times beforehand, but this time was different. I got them done yesterday night and towards the end of the service they had to keep wiping down what seemed to be kind of the inside of my eyelid because it kept tearing up and it was burning. It just felt like something was wrong because at this point there were two lash techs shadowing over me, scrambling over my eyes and speaking in a language I didn’t understand. I laid there for about an additional 20 minutes while they kept add it and at that point it was really late at night and my six year-old daughter was with me and had to go eat and to bed for school the next day.

The next morning, I woke up to my bottom, lash extensions and top lash extensions stuck together crusted. My eyelids were in pain and swollen, it felt like there were 100 little needles burning. I took an allergy medication and iced my eyes. I texted them first thing in the morning at 7 am and had to cancel my plans. They said I can come in for a removal and they didn’t charge me for it. I also asked them for a refund, but they said instead I can come back next time and it won’t be charged. However I told them that if I’m allergic to the stuff this time I will be allergic next time so can I have my sister take my place instead, but they said no then said that they were text me about it and we’re rushing me out of the store. I think that they’re honestly playing me and not going to text back to either allow me to have my sister have the service instead of me or give me a refund. I’m a bit skeptical now as well to even giving the service to my sister because it felt unprofessional looking back at it when I had gotten both services done and the materials/outcome/skills felt done poorly. I also paid in CASH. I didn’t signed any forms or waivers prior to the service and would’ve been OK even having a partial refund as well because I understand that it did take time out of their day too. What are your thoughts? What could I even do if they don’t want to compromise with me?

I absolutely hate Sally’s beauty ONLINE customer service. It’s such a huge contrast to the customer service in the stores where they’re truly always such sweethearts! I’ve dealt with the online customer service a handful of times and each time it’s been consistently a horrible experience. It’s at the point where I don’t even want to shop at Sally’s anymore because of it. I genuinely don’t understand why are they like that– ill informed and ill attitudes! Sorry had to vent!! Thank you for listening lol

I have cptsd and often struggle even keeping short term memory. I do dissociate unintentionally most of the time. Recently I’ve been having nightmares that are from my old memories resurfacing. And with those memories come the emotions (fear, anxiety, etc.) that took place during it. Has this happened to anyone else? Does TMS help your memory?

I had a dip. I’m worried it’s not working (enough). They told me my depression had improved by 17% and insurance wouldn’t cover coming back after the 36 sessions unless it improved by at least 50%. Honestly that 17% was the most anything has ever worked for me ever so it sucks that it’s not enough if I decide or need to come back later. I’m already done with 29 sessions I’m so scared if this doesn’t work especially since I’m already so far in and only have about only a handful of sessions left. I’m tired of being depressed.

So basically I had a mental health issue (that I was/am very ashamed of) where I was avoiding medications and it was extremely mentally exhausting for me to take all of them so now I have months and MONTHS of extra Cromolyn sodium that it’s taking up so much space in my home. My mental health issue is helped being resolved with tms treatments but now I just need to get rid of all the boxes I have stacked up from the past prescriptions. Anyone else experience this? Is there a place I can take them? I feel guilty just throwing them all away especially since it’s such a large amount. Please send advice!

How was your experience with it? What was prescribed and what dose? Which specialist prescribed it for you? Did you bring it up or did the specialist suggest it first? If it was you who first suggested it, how did you convince your provider to try it? And did insurance cover your medication?

Thank you all in advance!☺️
