You can request a list of ketamine providers from Jim Broatch of the RSDSA, at RSDSA.org. The RSDSA is an excellent source of information regarding ketamine infusions - there is a search tool in the upper right hand corner.

I've had 32 low dose ketamine infusions for my RSD since April 19, 2010 and I'm doing fairly well. I highly recommend them. Ketamine has a 70-80% success rate (the sooner you start it the higher the rate of success). I started with the 10 day outpatient protocol with Dr. Getson in Marlton, NJ and now I'm closer to home with Dr. Chopra in Pawtucket, RI (who just started to offer them last summer).

Obtaining insurance approval for the treatments can be very difficult and they are very expensive. It is reputed that Dr. Kirkpatrick in Tampa, FL charges about $2,500 a day and doesn't accept any insurance (i.e. - should you be covered, you need to pay him upfront and then file for reimbursement on your own). You'll have to call to confirm that, though.

And in regards to the ketamine comas - my current doctor told me that they are only offered in Mexico and somewhere in S. America right now (Germany is closed). I believe he said that Dr. S and Kirkpatrick are working together to provide patients to both locations.

There was a gentleman that came on here during the summer who claimed to have received a real high dose 2 or 3 day treatment in N.E. somewhere like Jim mentioned (that was extremely effective), but no one ever heard from him again and there's never been any verification of any such program by anyone else.

The best of luck to you, Sandy
