I had mentioned in one of my earlier posts...last year I believe, that I've often questioned why some of us experience chronic failure? I guess that's where "treatment resistant" rings true.
Have you ever considered that perhaps that "magic key" may not be a missing drug, but rather the way the drugs are administered?
Maybe the lithium is telling you it will help, if you try taking it every 3rd day or such? I wonder if you administered your "staple" meds daily along with intermittent dosing of other meds that provided previous benefit? Kinda like water treatment and adjusting chemical dosage so as to "shock" the system.
I could be totally out to lunch with my theory, but hey, I would love to eat prime rib daily, but the occasional cheeseburger tastes great! ;)
Take care, Rick
