the doc that did my ketamine infusion only took cash, however, we submitted the reciepts to my insurance and they did fully reimburse us. I have been completely off all pain meds for like 2-3 weeks now. i still occasionally will take muscle relaxers, but cause i've been hitting the gym everyday working on rebuilding my muscle in my arm.

before i had the ketamine infusion, besides all the different combos of drugs, i had s.g. blocks, lumbar blocks, bier blocks, a lidocaine infusion, a SCS- which made it spread so i had it taken out a year or so later, laser light therapy, tried bio feedback, acupuncture.... um....i think that about does it. i had all that stuff done with in the first 2-3 years of having rsd. i kept pushing the pain team at stanford about ketamine so once i had exhausted every other options that's when they gave it to me to take at home. i went and saw dr kirkpatrick in tampa about seeing if i qualified for the coma, but he said no. that was in may, and so we got the info for dr. leverone in LA from him- he's the doc that did the infusion on me.
