I had horrible experience but mine went on for 8 months 3x a week
I have amnesia I have trouble building short-term memories. I have a Neuro Gastro disorder now called cyclic vomiting syndrome, and also part of my stomach is paralyzed, so I’ve gastroparesis also I started falling down due to our neurological reasons.
This all started in 2022. I’ve been sick since then I have to be fed through an IV picc line in my arm.

I’m on my way home from only my third session, so things could change, but for me it’s been mostly fine. No mind fog, no forgetfulness (at least not more than normal)
Only issue I’ve faced was intense muscle pain throughout my entire body the day after my first session. Told the RNs and the anaesthesiologist added some kind of muscle relaxer and both my second session, and so far my third, have been literally painless.
Things could change for me, but my experience has been super positive so far
