Inpatient Ketamine infusion in the US
 
So I made a thread last week about my boyfriend and his CRPS type 2 outpatient ketamine infusions. It was not as sucessful as we thorught it would be, and are looking into inpatient ketamine infusions. I was wondering if anyone has experienced it. He's been the one researching the process, while I have been branching out into other possible avenues, so I'm not too knowledgable about the process. Anyways, he's frustrated because he's having trouble even finding clinics that offer inpatient in the US. DOes anyone know of any place where he could have this done? We just did outpatient in NYC with Dr. Brooks. Any information would help, thanks!!

You may have a hard time getting a doctor to do inpatient ketamine since the outpatient treatments did not work. I know exactly how he feels when you want so badly for a medication to work and you get no relief. CRPS is so much more than pain, it takes a psychological toll on you as well.

I know it has been suggested for him to jump on here and read some of this posts. I cannot explain how it feels to know that you are not alone and there are people who really do know what you are going through.

It is really admirable how you continue to stand by him through this whole thing. Just don't forget to take some time for yourself because it is easy to get worn out. Good luck!
