Dr S, wants the ketamine treatment to get to the people it will help. Especially before it gets classified as something just doesn't work. I've had it. It didn't help me for any long term.
What we've got here is a disease with no "Magic Bullet". We each must work with our system of management.
The triangle.
The meds. Your doctor.
The mind and depression. Your psych pain management dr.
The body. Excercise and keep it moving. Use it, or lose it!

And, most of the most organized of us, fall off the horse occasionally.
We cry, dust ourselves off, and get back on.

I wish you the best.
