Do you live near Wyoming?

Jim Broatch of the RSDSA provides a list of ketamine providers. On the list is the following doctor in Casper, Wyoming:

Tuenis Zondag Neuroscience Center 307-265-7246

If that doesn't work for you, I also see the following doctor in Salt Lake City, Utah:

Andrew Tallbutt Life Tree Pain Clinic 801-261-4988


The best of luck to you both. XOXOX Sandy

He's 34, I have read since yesterday and was surprised to see how many children and how a little accident can bring the onset of this hidious disorder.

You are correct in it being mentally taxing to be the caregiver. Find something you enjoy doing that is not related to any type of medical problems and it will give you some mental relief. I think the hardest part is the frustration of not being able to help when they are in so much pain. Take care of yourself otherwise you will not be able to take care of the person in pain.

Thanks for your suggestions and words of encouragement. You hit the nail on the head about taking care of yourself (been consumed over the past month) and not being able to provide for the one most in need, again ... thanks.
