I saw this story a few days ago in the Peoples Magazine (thanks Sandra for sending it me! ) and was really upset with what had happened. It's SO sad that people choose to go into the Coma to escape pain and come out even worse than before.

I agree with what the others have said about the Coma. My mum and I have had this conversation before and both of us have said that I wouldn't go into it unless I absolutely had to. I know some people who have been into the Coma as there RSD was so bad that it was life threatening - they were having fits, cardiac arrest etc. If it was me, I would have had to have tried all of the other possibilities before I considered going ahead with it. I just think it is too risky and needs more research at the moment.

I told my family about the ketamine coma treatment for RSD and they couldn't believe that there was such drastic treatment options for RSD - I think it shocked them a bit and made them realise how bad it can be.

I hope you are all doing well!
