The pain is nothing like anything I can describe…mind encompassing. I tried Ketamine once in a blind study done at Walter Reed Army Hospital. My pain disappeared instantly along with the sick flu feeling but only lasted a few hours I presume due to the low dose I was given. Now the Veterans Administration has authorized me to receive Ketamine treatments. I feel this may actually cure me but I can't find a doctor near Virginia that will do the Ketamine. Can anyone out there help me with info?

Hi DMT.
........... I can tell you that drugs used in trials are usually given to the patients by the trial doctors once the study is complete. The medical staff running the study are the only ones that have any experience with trial meds for the reasons it was used...... And of course the drug manufacturer.
I highly doubt you will find any one to treat you with a med as strong and dangerous as Ketamine.
So sorry you are in the same pain boat as the rest of us.
