I have been at the point of yes I am getting better to I can't believe I feel like this today. RSD is so hard to deal with period, but I do agree with the post who stated that you can never give up, a very true statement. Right now I am into this mess it will be 6 years since my accident and DX with RSD 8 months later did all the normal procedures you see talked about. At this point I have some serious spread going on which has just happened over the last 2 or 3 months but around Sept. I felt great, it is such an up an down process, for me that is the hardest to deal with.

I have a question of RSDer to ask if you don't mind, when you say "received ketamine the correct way", what does that mean. I have done ketamine 3 5 day icu treatments with boosters. I have had some success but always's seems to come back after time. I am aware of some of the protocols and would be interested in the differences if you don't mind. I actually spoke to Dr. Kirkpatrick about 4 years ago when I was looking for a doctor to do ketamine. I live near NYC so I have a wonderful doctor in the city who just keeps on plugging along through all the ups and downs.


I hope everyone feels a little better today....

Don't give up, don't EVER give up! I am 3+ years into this and had just about given up figuring I'd spend the rest of my life like this. But I found a wonderful doctor here in Tampa, FL who has put me into remission with just a series of 3 blocks that were administered the RIGHT way - not the way that the doctors did more than 2 years ago. You are early into this and I know how hard it can be during the holidays, but you have an EXCELLENT chance at getting this thing into remission!! But you have to become your own advocate and drive your own treatment program - that's your new job and as an ICU nurse you'll be EXCELLENT at it. You just have to focus your mind and take control here - YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Feel free to PM me if you like.
