Ketamine has confused me too, and I've had four infusions! But the four different infusions explain WHY it's still a mystery to me!

Here are my experiences (for those that don't know it) with the 7 day low dose ketamine infusions-

First infusion- 30 days pain free (Dec 04)
Second infusion- 10 MONTHS pain free (Mar 05)
Third infusion- absolutely nothing, not even while in hospital with the drip still running (June 06)
Fourth infusion- pain levels dropped from 8-9/10s to 1-6/10s for approx two-three weeks (June 07)

Not only does it work differently for everyone, it seems to work differently each time! Well, in my experience anyway.

But I'm still glad I've had the option to try this. I think everyone should at least have the option, even if they don't feel its right for them.
