Honestly, I couldn't wait to get off of 6mp. The fatigue was so bad I had trouble getting up in the morning. I am surprised I was able to function it was so bad. It never got any better for me, but...
Good for you! My third treatment is in a couple of weeks, and it really does seem to be helping a great deal for me as well. Yay!...
