i'm glad u had a good experience with dr k. i saw him in may because i had pretty much run out of all treatment options and me and my pm thought i'd be a good candidate for the coma he does in germany... although i am not stuck in bed or a wheelchair- i refuse to let that happen... i did spend a lot of time in bed or on the couch, he said i wasn't a candidate for the coma and that i should just try water therapy.... which i was crushed with that that was the only option i was given when i had had nerve blocks, bier blocks, a scs, laser light therapy, evey med under the sun, pt, biofeedback, and was already taking ketamine as my pain med.... needless to say when i got back home to cali i started looking for another pm that would be willing to do the shorter ketamine infusions and thank god i found dr leverone in la because the 4 hr ketamine infusion has put me in remission, which i've shared. and he's an amazing doc. i had heard good things about dr k and was let down when he said i had to reach the point of being bed ridden before i'd be a candidate and that until then he reccommended water therapy for i was so far past that point and had tried literally everything else that i could or that would be done to me because of my age (a pain pump was out of the question because of the long term damage it could cause my liver).

i'm glad u were able to get such good relief from the nerve blocks. i wish all of us could have gotten that kind of relief from them since that seems to be the first treatment we're all told we should try.
