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.

Schwartzman wants his program only for those to which he knows the ketamine will cure so his success rate goes up problem is if your going to have an RSD treatment you can't play god and pick and choose just as you like to increase your success rate to make you look good. No meds work whatsoever thats been found for years now. Been through psych management docs and over 7 depression drugs all to the conclusion that until the rsd is gone nothings going to change. Exercise i keep on the move and have went through many physical therapy programs as well. I've dusted myself off many more times than reasonable. Getting up and dusting yourself off does not mean if u do it 70 times ur going to get better and never have to do it again. Other than being strong and picking yourself up its means nothing.

As well i wish you the best.
