I actually called Dr. Geston today. It does seem promising, and I am very close to his office which is great! The only other obstacle is getting my parents on board - since I've been either on disability or unemployed the whole time I've had CRPS, and I had just got out of graduate school very shortly before that, I cannot even begin to afford ketamine infusions on my own. They are of course somewhat reluctant to immediately shell out what Dr. Geston is asking, as he doesn't take insurance at all, but I am trying to get them to understand that hardly anyone who does these will cover it, at least from everything I've read so far.

I think once they come to understand that they will help me... but in the meantime I am in a lot of pain, of course. :-/ They are pretty understanding for the most part, and I am extremely grateful for everything they've done for me, but as I'm sure many of you will understand, when you're in constant pain it's hard to swallow that other people aren't as eager to get rid of the pain as you are! :-( I do think that they will come around to this though... I hope anyway.

Thanks again so much, and I look forward to spending more time here! :-)
