First of all im sorry it didn't work! This is something I have considered myself, along with trying IVIG before ketamine. The nurse wasn't aware (which most people aren't) that ketamine can be used for RSD. What she was saying that they use it in the ICU, is because they use it for patients that are very sick to keep them sedated usually while there on a ventilator to keep them sedated.

I barely had any reaction to it good or bad. I guess it usually causes BP to drop but mine did the opposite.
I got slightly light headed and a little tingly lips and tongue. No other side effects and NO EFFECT ON PAIN OR MOBILITY  No effect on the spreading to my foot
I asked the nurse if they ever used Ketamine, she said NO, but then said she had heard of them using it but only in ICU. 
I'm going back to my PM Dr. to ask about the drugs mentioned in the video.
Thanks for the link! (sorry) was it Vrae or Bram?
