Hi, My name is Sheri, I am a wife and the mother of 4. I was diagnosed with RSD in 2003 after falling and tearing the meniscus in my right knee. I am being treated with ketamine infusions every three months - 200 mg for 4 hours for 2 days. I first went into the hospital in Sept. of 2004 for 4 days then a few months later had a booster. I felt great!!! Until I was stopped at a stop sign and was hit in the rear by a woman going 40 mph. That put me into a tail spin!! My RSD has spread from my leg to the other and my traps go into spasms - really bad. of course nothing shows up on MRIs because the RSD has spread to my upper body as well. The infusions have been helpful, they last about 6 8 weeks. My Dr. has never mentioned any type of oral ketamine. Instead my pain specialist has me on oxycontin and percocet, which I take when I am really bad, which seems to be a lot lately. Oh and get this one, after 4 years my insurance company decided that ketamine infusions are experimental and will no longer be paying for them. I'm glad I found this forum with people who can understand the pain, frustration, depression of this debilitating condition. Thank you all.
