Hi to this very informed group. I am impressed with all the shared infromation. Like many of you, I have been diagnosed with RSD of the lower extremities and am looking into the low dose awake Ketamine infusion. I have tried all alternative and conventional treatments with very little success or relief. I was diagnosed in 1994 while working as a teacher. The uncovering factor seemed to be a fall that I thought nothing about. A few months later, my right ankle felt painful and contricted and the nightmare began for me. I have met many wonderful people and some good physicians along this journey, but at this point the pain in my legs and feet is pretty constant and intense.
Anyway, look forward to sharing and hearing others stories. I did notice that "Good n Plenty" got some relief from 4 hour ketamine infusion. Where did you have that done, may I ask. We live in NYS and NO MD is even considering Ketamine in our area. Closest site would be PA. Glad to hear that GNP got some relief from the pain. But, be careful with hands in a garbage disposal!
Chat soon,

Hi Suzy

Love your screen name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I just went and checked, and my page on Epsom salts talks about RSD.

I did the page when I had a lot of pain from tetanus... I used compresses for awhile and they helped a lot.

If you Google "rsd epsom salts health boundaries" my page comes up on the first set of links.



I sure hope you find some relief, really good relief.

I love that moniker! And it's so nice to meet you, too. I've been studying RSD lately, because I haven't been diagnosed yet, and another member told me that my symptoms sounded something like that.

Anyway, I'm really glad you found the place, and hope that you like it, and come back to visit with us. Good luck and best wishes!

Hi Ms. Sunshine. Nice to meet you and welcome to NeuroTalk. I hope you have luck finding an MD near you who can do those treatments, and I'm glad you'll most likely be joining the RSD'rs. This is a wonderful community.
