Thanks for sharing your experience. I had 15 treatments last year and it was only about a month or so ago that I finally began remembering much of what I'd forgotten. Now I'm struggling to remember things again, but even though I'll have to have ECT once every four weeks this time around, at least they'll be more spread out than last year. Like you, I also have to ask my husband if I've seen a movie and whether or not I liked it! It's incredibly frustrating, but at least now I know that I'm not the only one experiencing that very same thing. I admire your bravery for going through with VNS (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagus_nerve_stimulation" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">vagus nerve stimulation</a>). Honestly, I don't know if I'd be able to do that. Good luck, and I hope you keep your blog updated as to your progress and experience with it. Carrie, welcome! Thanks for sharing your experience.

It has only been recently that my husband stopped prefacing sentences with "you probably don't remember, BUT...". Regarding movies -- I ask him if, first, if I've seen the movie and second, did I like it. I just started VNS therapy in January.
