Hi again.
After rereading your post, I see that you indicated that you have tried multiple drugs over the last several months. You might not be giving these drugs an adequate period of time to be able to evaluate fully their effectiveness. While I was a research patient at the NIH, they regarded an early transient improvement as a "blip" that forecast a good response later. I was taught that one must give at least three weeks for a trial of any new drug or new drug dosage. It is a conservative approach that often yields success when treating a difficult case.
