Hi Sandy

I have a question for you.

In regards to the Ketermine infusions...after you have them do you go off your regular pain meds? I use a fentanyl patch and small doses of Methadone
letme know what happens when you get the infusion. i still havent decided about getting them done. My hubby is against them, and the reviews are mixed. My primary care says i should go and hear out the doctor who would administer it. im just not sure.
any hoo...do you go off your regular pain meds when you get infused?
Thank you
Lori




QUOTE=SandyRI;720184]How about treatments? Have you tried PT? Or blocks? Or lidocaine infusions? Ketamine? Many of us have benefited a lot from treatments combined with meds.

I have also read about some people having a lot of success with Methadone with their RSD. But it doesn't go with morphine (which is Fentanyl). So you need to take one or the other.

Advil or Motrin can also be surprisingly effective. Also Fiorcet - I take that for my headaches.

I don't take Lyrica or Neurontin - I use Topamax because I suffer from migraines.

Hope this helps. Good luck to you. Sandy[/QUOTE]
