Hi Mike,
My low dose ketamine dosage will be about 200 - 250 mg per day, over about 4 hours, per Getson's articles that he wrote on the treatments in the Spring of 2006 and again in 2009. A fellow RI RSDer just started the 5 day inpatient treatment at Drexel in the ICU on Wednesday, I have asked his wife what his dosage is. I am sure it is substantially higher. He has CPRS II (and very limited mobility), while I have CRPS I.
Thanks for your well wishes. I will keep you all posted. XOXOX Sandy

Just out of curiousity, do you know what the "full titration" dose is? (It may be expressed as mg./kg./hr.) My hunch is that there's a reason you're in the ICU at that point: the therapeutic dose for people with non-acute CRPS may be substantially higher than the "low dose" figures that are typically bandied about. Just curious in any event.
And so happy to here about the timing vis-a-vis your job. That's really nice in and of itself.
Mike
