I'm so sorry that you've had to go through so many trials in your life. You are probably right about the ketamine...that probably held off the spread for a long time. You are very lucky to have your daighter and her fiance...it is such a gift to be supported by the people in your life. Sometimes I think some physical therapists just don't get it...RSD and its symptoms take more work than just things to "play with". I had a few like that and they got me no where. I ended up with a marvelous one last year who helped me conquer my functional problems. I think she would have been great anyway but it probably didn't hurt that she knew who I was...my brother was on her husband's little league baseball team AGES ago...when he was like 10 and I was 11. That personal connection probably didn't hurt...though as I said I think she's just one of the good ones anyway

Glad you found your way here and I hope that you are able to find the help you need.
