Hi , glad to hear your reponse >>>>> You've hada lot of experience with this illnes. What is DBS, AAP's. My PDoc brought up the vagel nerve stim and I am very resistant to the idea of having that implanted. I know they SAY it's not invasive, but it's awfully new and I'm afraid to try that. I also don't even know that my insurance would pay for THAT ........... I've tried many different combination of meds. Right now, Cymbalts, Zoloft, abilify, dextrostat and ambien to sleep. I am not in any kind of talk therapy and i'm looking for a therapist to go too. I live rurally so it isn't easy. I find that I do better when I don't isolate myslef and get OUT of the house.... but good luck with me forcing me to do that enough........
