I have a good coach but have not shown much improvement. I am still hopeful.

To hopeful22: It has been awhile since I heard from you. Don’t know you are handling TMS, but your case is similar to mine, if you recall. I would like your email address so I can say things unrelated to TMS. My email is sfm1200@hotmail.com
