> Scott I was thinking and thought of VNS. Since you've had partial responses to meds. And you continue on meds with the VNS in place maybe it would jump start your meds? Love Jan
That is a great way to look at it.
Two doctors who first rejected the idea are now suggesting it for me. It seems like an act of desperation. Of course, my case qualifies. I don't know. Something is still telling me not to do it.
A recent study posted on Medline reported disappointed numbers. Only 28% of people were improved after a year. These were not remissions. Remissions were less than 16%. I don't know. Given that these people were treatment-resistent, perhaps this isn't that bad. Maybe I should consider it.
