Title: Vagus nerve stimulation
Post by AussieBrian on Apr 19^th, 2017 at 10:43pm

A newcomer to our lovely Clusterville, who can't yet post links, has sent me the following info and I thought I'd pass it on for comment among the many here who are far more knowledgeable than I.

All options deserve honest consideration,

Good one, Hoppy.

Didn't know about the UK connection as well, but the FDA approval may well help some of our American friends through the hoops and hurdles of their insurance thing.

Can't hurt to consider all the possibilities.

I've posted before about this. I've been using gammaCore since 2012.

It does help.
