I've said this before....you could try a drug called cilostazol - its a drug thats been used for years, essentially for circulation problems and prevention of a second stroke. widely accepted as 'safe' also widely available to buy and very cheap as its now 'generic'. a clinical trial has been completed for about 50 patients, but annoyingly the results aren't out yet:

http://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT01378650
There's no reason why you couldn't conduct your own clinical trial as per the study - get some from the web...take 100mg's twice daily for 4 weeks - see if its any better. you might even be able to get your specialist to prescribe you it 'off label' if you ever get to that point! Just an idea - the scientific rationale is plausible - typically, drug companies won't burn millions of $$'s on a trial if they don't think it'll work or theres no scientific rationale. cilostazol has been on the market for many many years. i've got grams of the stuff in my lab, but you probably need it in tablet form :)
