> Well that's one thing I certainly agree with... they definitely have very little idea what's going on. As I look back over the course of my illness, I can see that in the beginning treatments gave me some hope, but as the years ticked by there was less and less response and more and more sickness. Most things didn't work at all, and those that "worked" did only for a short time.

Is there anything that can provide you with even the smallest degree of relief on a steady basis? I managed to eek out a 15% improvement combining nortriptyline and Lamictal.
Which drugs made you feel dramatically worse?
