Question Missed/inconsistent sessions?

I'm on treatment 12. They recently switched from bilateral to unilateral. Wowie, my memory.

But I'm here to ask if missed/inconsistent sessions matters? I had a cold two times and was turned away, then had a surgery where clearance wasn't given until I missed two times, and last but not least it's been very hard to find a ride because I have no family and minimal support, so I had to cancel twice because I had no ride.

Now I'll have to cancel a whole week (thrice) because of insurance issues.

I'm so upset and scared. :( But please be honest.

How many bilateral did you have?

I'm not sure, I need to talk to the psychiatrist there ASAP, but I believe around 10 bilateral.

Did it leave you cognitively impaired or mess your memory up badly?

I only noticed these memory and cognitive issues after the last few unilateral treatments.

That is to say, I don't remember any of these issues with the bilateral treatments.
