Getting back into ultrasound

Jul 14 (edited) • General Discussion & Intros 🙌

So I have tried splenic ultrasound before. I did splenic ultrasound consistently for several months but never actually noticed a difference from it. I also did not notice a difference when I stopped. Now, I have been seeing a lot of buzz again for ultrasound in the context of treating chronic illness. I am housebound with ME/CFS and suffer from profoundly debilitating symptoms so I was encouraged. I am seeing that using ultrasound on the temple and the neck work better than the spleen for some people. As such I have pulled my US Pro 2000 2nd edition out of storage and have started experimenting again. I did 5 minutes on medium intensity to my right temple. I definitely felt something, not necessarily positive, kind of like a buzzing and pressure on that part of my brain. After using it the feeling has been lingering, and a similar feeling has spread to the opposite side of where I used the ultrasound. It is mildly uncomfortable. 15 minutes later it feels like someone is pressing firmly on both my temples. This feeling intensifies if I move my head. Makes me wonder if I overdid it. I wonder how did other people feel when they started ultrasound on the right temple? And what could I be doing to improve my technique?
