Carrie,
It is very much in your favour to have Dr S on your side and so lucky you have contacts

You are a perfect example of how this disease can hit without any particular inciting event and that we do not all follow any set pattern when it comes to signs , symptoms and progress of the disease.
I do hope you can get your Ketamine infusion as soon as possible--it sure sounds as though you need the intervention of someone as experienced as Dr S.
I am sending you all my very best wishes that you get an answer and that things turn around for you soon---this can be a scary disease BUT THERE IS HOPE.
love Tayla
