Default hi Sandy

Hi Sandy and thank you for the welcomes

Ive been getting ketamine infusions since 2006 or 2007 (brain fart sorry), started getting them low dose at Beth Isreal in Boston every 2 weeks...worked only short term, very short term, but insurance did cover it for the most part.

I then found and talked extensively to a doctor in CA, and went in '08 for my first 6-hr medium dose? (for lack of the actual dosage offhand, need to dig through box of med records) I think he borders right on the acceptable limits but if it works...and it does for me, who am I to say what is acceptable

After an infusion, he then puts me on ketamine pills for one week tapering the dosage. This is what has made life more tolerable for me and it got me out of that wheelchair; I do still hurt and I have to use a cane but I sure am a lot better off than I was.

The weather out here makes such a difference too, and although they have a couple creepy critters that really wig me out, I will take seeing them every once in awhile over seeing snow lol.

I feel for ya living in New England, and will hope for a mild winter for you

Thank you again for the welcomes
