Dee, how long do your infusions last? I've heard some of Dr. L's patient's can go for 8 mths on just ONE treatment...That's awesome. (sorry guys, didn't mean to hijack the post)...

hi
 
Good morning Sandy,
Yuppers, I'm one of Dr. L's patients who get the long term remission from the infusions. It has been well over a year since my last infusion, but, I tend to wait until the very last moment before going back. why, I don't know but my mother says its because I am stubborn :D and she's been telling me for the last couple of months "when you going back", "don't you think its time" when you going back", etc., etc., Bless her heart I know she only nags at me because she cares and because my parents live so far from me and believe me you, they are relieved at my upcoming date with Dr. L, I just wonder though, what they going to nag me about then :eek: just joking, I love my folks dearly

I just try to get the most bang for my buck so to speak, I've always been this way and probably will not change anytime soon. After an infusion and the meds, I keep moving, at the gym and at home. I have a hot tub and although I don't use the jets (ouch) I get such relief from it ( excellent investment for anyone with RSD in my opinion as you can control the temp of the water), I've moved out of the cold states ~ luv luv luv Arizona, I meditate, and do everything possible to keep a normal social life, not focusing on the " cant do's but rather the can do's. So to me, I think I make a huge difference in how long I stay in remission. Now I do have my days where I hurt more than others, but I just modify what I'm doing and move on. I did wait a bit too long this time though, I'm human and I know I messed up but I'm fixing that :o

Didn't mean to go on so long or take away from the safety of ketamine, I haven't gone to FB yet but I will today, it's early here so as soon as I sign out, I'm heading there. It bothers me, it really does and for a lot of reasons, but I will go take a look before I say much more on that, other than reiterating that pre-testing is nothing to JOKE about, they (drs.) do this for a reason, a dang good reason: your life.

talk soon,
Dee :hug:
