hi inspire. i'm sorry for all you've been through but at happy that your latest dr visits went well. i hope the ketamine helps you. i take neurontin which helps with my burning electrical pain too and a strong pain killer to help numb the burning aching stabbing cramping pains i get from rsd. i also take antidepressants and antianxiety to help with the emotional pan i'm in from having rsd. and i just started seeing a psychologist who is teaching me about ways to deal with constant pain and stress by using mental imagry sort of like what visionvi has talked about in the past. it seems to help a bit too. i've never tried ketamine but may consider it down the road if all else stops helping. i hope you that the ketamine you take will help and as for mris, i know they are hard to get, but if you really want one and you're dr thinks you need one, he can maybe try to get it approved. my drs have but it just takes time because its such an expensive procedure. my eyes are really starting to get blurry so before i sign off for today i want you to know that no matter what happens you will be okay because there is always hope. that's what gets me through the day. just take it a day at a time. sending soft hugs your way.
