Andrea, Could you please send me more information on Dr. Leverone. I live in Washington State and my best friend has RSD which has progressed into her upper body and left leg after having surgery to implant a device to help her breathe. She is not able to sit at a computer and do research herself so I am doing this for her. I am looking into the Ketamine treatment after reading an article in People magazine. I started to read postings and am learning that this treatment (not coma but low dose infusions) would help her as she is at a point where she thinks she can't go on. She has two children and a very supportive husband and I want her to know there is something out there that may give her some relief. Please help!
