Hello Momof4,

Thanks, for the inforation on the site. I will check it out.

Have you tried the ketamine out patient? I did that a couple years ago with Dr. S.
It was stopped after the 4th day. I need more than can be given during the out patient treatment.

I took my MP3 player to listen to while the treatment was going on. Everyone has different reactions to medications. For me the room would not stop spinning. My dreams seemed very real. When the four hour infusion was finished I was fine. I wasn't tiered and I was able to walk around and site see while in Philly. For me it didn't help my RSDS/CRPS. However, there were people there for boosters that had been pain free for months.

Let me know what your ortho says about the article. I had to have a chipped bone removed from my ankle last June. My ortho talked to Dr. S before he agreed to do the surgery. After the surgery they did a four hour ketemine infustion to keep my RSD from flaring.

Dr S's out patient ketamine didn't work for me. However, he is a great resource for information for my doctors in OH. I have even called him with questions and more times than not he personally returns the call a couple of times it has been his nurse.
