I went to a new neuro today that is supposed to be an ace. He was familiar with the whole VS thing and wants to treat me, which is great as others have blown it off, and advised that he has been able to stop these symptoms about 99% of the time. He said that the symptoms were probably onset from a brain allergy to a medication or drug, which coincides with alot of the reports of others in the forum . He also said that pill medication was not the answer due to the longevity of my symptoms, and that he has rarely had any success prescribing pills to anyone with my symptoms. He gave me an injection of Imitrex and advised that some peoples symptoms have been cured with that. However, it did not completely alleviate mine but I did notice a change for the good. Once he came back in 15 -20 minutes after I had been injected and I informed him of the results he advised that he would like to treat me with an IV mixture composed of depakote and some other high powered drugs to break the cylce. He said that was probably the only way to achieve results due to me having the VS issues for about 7 years. He wants me to come in and stay in the hospital and receive the IV treatements every eight hours to see if he can break the symptoms and then get me on a preventative medication to keep it from coming back. He says that he has treated people this way before and has had a good success rate so I think I will give it a go. I was just wondering if anybody else had tried anything like this and what success they may or may not have had.
