I'm also waiting for a magnesium infusion, hopefully that'll be soon (Dr put me down as Priority One, to get it done asap as my RSD is so out of control at the moment- with it spreading to my foot and up to hip, and also symptoms coming back in my arm that I haven't had for over 2 years). It works the same way as a ketamine infusion, but is only a day procedure, so I'm only in hospital for one day. Its another one of those things that helps some people, but not others (as with all RSD meds ) but I'll give it a shot.

I'm very lucky to have a great RSD doctor who never questions what I say about my symptoms etc, and can get me access to the latest and most successful medications and treatments, I know a good RSD Dr is hard to find so I'm hanging on to this one! As much as I hate the cold weather here in Melbourne and would LOVE to move north, we're staying here so we can be near my RSD dr, as that's so important.

Anyway, I'll let you know how I get on....
