VRAE--this might be a good time to consider Ketamine as well...
Hey Lit Love! So good to see you here! Yes, I do need some of those. I see a new PM doc next week and I need to put that on my list of things to ask for, or about. They should make one that is a body wrap lol. Ketamine is on the list to ask about. I agree that it's time. I've got to do something. Disease is taking me over and getting way out of hand.

Oh yes, I wobble around for sure, so you bet, accident prone is becoming accurate. I wonder if you couldn't use Lidocaine hydrochloride oral topical solution. They gave me this once to swallow in the hospital once for what I thought was a gallbladder issue. I had to swallow it and it made everything numb. WARNING!! It is some nasty tasting stuff! But I am thinking why couldn't you just swish it and NOT swallow it? Maybe that would help, idk.
