Your are right about seeing so many doctors before you get the one you trust. We have all been through that and it's a tough and frustrating process.
Be a paticipant in you/your wife's care not a spectator. Finding the right cocktail of meds is as long and frustrating as finding the right doctors.
Ketamine is a very very strong drug. It's illegal street name is special K. I did 4 hour infusions 10 days a week. It was determined on the 4th day it wasn't helping and the infusions were stopped. I was offered the 5 day coma in Germany. When the 4 hour infusions were done I was given versaid (spelling?) to help with the side effects.
Ketamine is not a fix it puts some people in what is referred to as a stop. You have to get booster infusions from time to time depending on the person.

I commend you on being such a support to your wife. I know what it means to have your spouce be supportive.
I wish you the best of luck as you work toward relief.
Take care,
Sherrie
