What I would like to know is what I can give back to this community who has been very supportive of me. Is there anything in particular anyone would like to know, have photos of )if allowed) etc.
I wish more then anything that I could do more to further understanding of RSD but to be honest, I'm struggling right now as a single mom with 3 children and an amazing fiancee just to get through all this and pray there's light at the end of it all.
If there is anything I can do for anyone, questions I can answer, etc, please feel free to PM me/
And yes, I am scared to death of how the treatment will go and what to expect. I already have my boosters set up in Philly with Dr. Schwartzman in Decemeber and feel extremely fortunate so please, let me help you if in any way I can.

Hi Dawn
First I would like to thank you for contributing your time and you families time for this forum. As a husband with 5 kids and my wonderful wife who was diagnosed with RA. We seem to be in a constant battle for some sort of normalcy let alone contribute to different forums. It takes away valuable time away from the kids and yourself. But I truly believe the commitment we make to help others will come back to us in many ways. And who knows maybe even a cure for this nasty demon once and for all.
I guess I have a few questions about your ketamine experience so far. Did you have an insurance that would pay for the treatments? Is this treatment the five day inpatient with physical therapy? And have you found any data that would give a percentage rate of positive outcome of this procedure? I guess I have been receiving conflicting reports from my pain specialists about the outcome of the procedure. Thank You Krank
