Update on rTMS treatment.
In October I started rTMS treatment under the label of depression and anxiety, but with my main symptom/problem being VS. To clarify, I do not really feel like I deserve the depression diagnosis, but my psychiatrist believed that if my mild depression and anxiety is reduced, my VS would be reduced as well. My psychiatrist was only able to target the frontal lobe, because targeting other regions was not covered by my health insurance. It was a shot in the dark, but I had to take it. I got around 15 treatments done, and then all of a sudden, without a notice, my insurance stopped covering the treatment. All of a sudden I had 5/6 claims of $750 that I had to pay. I stopped the treatment because of this. This ended this attempt to finally get rid of VS, after 8+ years of having it. My condition has not improved at all, and I believe that targeting the frontal lobe is NOT effective to treat VS. I hope that insurances will cover targeting the TPJ (since that showed the most promising results so far) as a treatment for VS in the future.
Bottom line, health insurances suck and targeting the frontal lobe is ineffective.
