I am certainly looking at anything that even might help at this point though.
Spike - I don't actually remember seeing what part of the country that you are in, but here in Metro Detroit, there are so many doctors treating patients with CRPS. I am not entirely sure how many of them actually know anything about it, but 2 of the big hospitals, DMC and Henry Ford, both claim they have several doctors that specialize in pain management with vast knowledge of CRPS. I am not quite sure if it is true or not, but it never hurts to try to set up a consult at the very least. I already have 6 lined up to make calls to come the beginning of the year. 2 of which I know do ketamine infusions as well as many other forms of treatment before they resort to that. I am just concerned that if I switch doctors again, is the next going to give up as quickly as the last 2?
Thank you both.
Have a wonderful Christmas season!

WOW! I admire you so very much. Your stick to it attitude and hit this disease with all that you have demeanor are such great attributes. Your a very special person. Your family has a lot to be proud of in you and how you carry your disease and fight it with dignity. You brought a smile to my face, even though my pain is way out of control right now. Thanks for the inspiration.
