So being rejected for depression is so very odd. Its horrible
the ketamine infusions are really only effective for alloydina. They virtually took mine away to a large degree.
Things have changed up there, did they test you psychologically?
When I went they did, xrays, themograph, vibration tests, heat and cold tolerance.
And some strength test- no psychological testing at all. I was certainly depressed and was on antidepressents.
I think someone really screwed you. I dont think anyone there has the right to tell you -that you are rejected because you are depressed.It makes no sense.
I would send a letter directly to Dr. S and tell him what you were told. That is just not right. If you read any of his publications he always mentions the severe depression that comes after acquiring RSD.
I am sure that someone really screwed up.
I would be devastated if that happened to me. I know that Dr. S feels the 10 day and 5 day infusions are not strong enough to help those of us that have full body RSD. That would be more likely the reason they didnt reccommend the program for you.Is alloydina a problem that you have? IF so thismakes no sense at all. I relly would write the doctor directly. After all the money you spent for the appt. and the diffuculty of travel for you you deserve some answers.
Again im so sorry to hear about this, hang in there, Sincerely CZ

I talked to Dr. S himself about this and yes there is a psych testing now. If you want to hear something even more messed up the psch doctor himself told me i passed and he went out and told my mother i had passed no problem. Than Weeks later when i was suppose to hear from them for the date of treatment i called and they said they still didnt have the psych results and than waited alittle and called again never got an answer back. Than one friday got called saying i would receive a call and letter in the mail. Waited over a week never got anything. Called back and called back didnt get answered and than days later got a call from a nurse who told me one of my tests didnt get passed she said it looked like the psych test and that i would have to call schwartzman about it and i did and waited for a call from him. Once he called he spoke exactly the same as the nurses. The fishy thing is the psych doctor said i passed. Plus why did it take so long for his test to get "finished" in all reasoning i know Dr. S is the one that pulled the string and didnt want to treat me cause iam full internal body and he wasnt confident in his program so he wanted something to hide behind. Hes a disgrace of a doctor and even though hes studied rsd for 30years he proved to me even after all that he still falls flat on his face as an rsd doctor.
