Congratulations on the 90% reduction in pain, you must feel like you've been born again, I'm sure!

If we talking Ketamine..I, too am very happy you had great success and some relief...
Only due to my recommended treatment as per Dr. S..I am being asked to have the 5-day sleep..which they made clear this is not considered the coma.. however, it is the moderate Ketamine dose.. the big dose 'coma' is done outside of the U.S.. and the 10 day out patient infusion is another option (which our very sweet Sandy RI did have recently).. that is a different, lower dose also.. Funny, althought they put us in a nappy state they are cautious with that word 'coma'... Either way..the insurance companies are so against approval of these treatments due to FDA approval in the States.....once again..take me behind the shed.. I am still fighting to get approval but not hopeful.. I pray for the day they can bottle the Ketamnie up and send it to our appropriate local RSD Dr.'s office and allow us to get it from there...Probably won't happen in my life time but it is a great thought..Heck, if we had cancer..we'd be in the infusion room the day after our diagnosis...
