Thumbs up Getting ketamine infusion

I am starting ketamine infusion on Monday . My God I hope this does something! I finally broke down and went to a new PM today after being thoroughly unimpressed with my first venture. Chose the doc from positive Yelp reviews and knowledge that they do ketamine in office. The doctor was agreeable, no nonsense, non-blaming and for now didn't try to talk me into anything I didn't want. What a concept. Oh, also he is not crazy about LDN citing it is mildly neurotoxic. I had not encountered this info before. He says he likes ketamine much better.

They do a less frequent protocol for people who are not super severe. So either once a week or every other depending on my response for the first batch then once a month then boosters as needed. $400 per infusion, they say insurance usually covers. I am wondering why so many people run into waiting lists. This was really easy. I encourage everyone to keep after what you need and not wait forever. If the big practices can't do it there may be small practices that do. I found three in Austin and didn't even check everywhere.

I pray this knocks this pain out. I know I could be worse and so many ARE worse but I am still pretty limited and it takes so little to knock my nerve which is now screaming into overdrive (thank you stupid cold laser) I have had enough of the 500 fire ants living in my ankle again when I put it down.

Please send prayers and hugs. I am nervous and fearful. Now that I see how little it takes to bring my pain back I feel this is probably my best chance and am afraid to consider what it means for the future if it doesn't work. Ugh so scarey....

Healing Love to all
