However, the two hour boosters, the hallucinatios were minimal, never really negative. This is because my doctor administers versed at the begining of the infusion and again at some point during the infuison. I would inquire about this.
Given your level of suffering, I certainly feel it is worth trying for you to lower your buring level- it is highly successful in permanetly removing alloydinia. You sound like you almost have full body burning . The ketamine infusion typically help everyone with this.
The deep pain is more diffucult to help wth these light infusions.
As Debbie said, eveyone does react differently. But given your level of pain, your type of pain, and the success of ketamine infusion for that type of pain, I would recommend you give it a try. Good Luck. Write me if you have any more questions I can help with. Sincerely, CZ

Thanks so much for your reply CZ.
Wow, that's a lot of Ketamine (I'm assuming it works for you). It's made my day to read from a Ketamine expert that, for a pretty much full-body burning, Ketamine can be effective. This is what my doctor has told me, obviously, but it sounds perhaps a little more persuasive to hear the same from a person actually getting pumped up with the stuff.
I'm going to make sure I have as many benzos in my IV as I can be when I do the treatment. My doctor has been good in talking about how to allieviate, hopefully eliminate, any negative hallucinatory experiences. But I got to tell you, I'm still racked with fear about the whole thing.
I am curious though about coming out from the Ketmine. How long does it take to get back to normal, and do you get any short-term (or long-term) side effects mentally after each infusion?
Thanks again for responding.
