> Scott, I'm sorry to read you haven't seemed to progress with your MI. As usual, your intelligence masks your presentation...I mean that as a compliment.
It was taken as one. :-)
I'm sure you can imagine how many people accuse me of wanting to be sick.
> It's kinda crazy to say...I think DBS might be an effective treatment for your condition. I don't know the quaility of surgery available to you, and I have never researched it for myself...however, when ect was recommended, I had thought quite a bit about VNS. The video link was compelling...and if you could secure excellent care...maybe?

> When I took namenda, I noticed nothing. There were med changes at the time, and I was responding to nothing...so I don't have any information to add...just support and encouragement. Beckett xThank you, thank you, thank you. I am encouraged by your impression of DBS and VNS. I was given the name of a neurologist in Washington D. C. by my current psychiatrist. She thinks that VNS is worth exploring. My previous doctor liked DBS. I am still resistant to having any of these procedures done. I am scared to move in this direction, but my doctor does not think that any medication will do more than produce a mild improvement.
The best Namenda did for me was nothing. During a second trial, I felt worse. I'll probably forgo a third.
