Hi My daughter has also done Ketamine Infusions with Dr Kirkpatrick in Tampa...I have seen some changes, unfortunately, she has bad days still. I was in hopes that this would be the answer, but like everyone else here, we know that this horrible disease doesn't go away. They are wonderful here, so listen to them. They know what they are talking about and have helped me through some really tough times. And have also rejoiced with me during good times. I have been on here for over a year now. Life isn't much better, but it sure helps to have all of these absolutely WONDERFUL, loving people, help me through my day and that I am proud to call family.
Sandy

Tomorrow she is geting an IV with ketamine to hopefully dull the pain she is feeling. In the past she has had epidurals with ketamine so it only affects her legs. They require general anesthesia to place and hospitalization whil in so we are trying the IV to see if it will do the same thing. Let's hope so!
