Hi.
* I accidentally posted this along someone else's thread.
--------------------------------------------------
I hope this gives everyone surety that they haven't tried everything.
Can anyone with mathematical skills work out how many permutations there are for combining any 4 drugs as a treatment?
What about 5?
This was the logic that helped keep me going.
I know it is easy and compelling to think that you've tried everything. Let's see what a mathematician comes up with.
Would 1000 alternative combinations of 4 drugs give you hope. Maybe just a little?
Let me tell you from personal experience that it doesn't always work, but still...
Even though I can guarantee that you could never try all of the permutations of the listed medications in a lifetime, I cannot guarantee that you will respond to any of the first 1000 combinations on the mathematician's list. How do you know that your next treatment won't work?
The following is my list of drugs tried. There are 87 of them. I may have missed a few, but not many. I can't imagine how many trials of different combinations of these drugs I have tried. Scary. Can you imagine how many combinations of drugs I have assaulted my brain with in 40 years non-stop?
I am very afraid, though. Nardil seems to poop-out on people, even after decades of remission. I want guarantees.
