I'm afraid to make a wrong move, there's SO many factors to these ketamine treatments... How many days of infusions, how high a dosage, do I want a port or an IV, if I get a port, what kind? Do you fast before the treatments? Do I stop my meds before doing them? AHHHH I thought finding a doctor was the hard part, the more I read other patients' experiences the more freaked I get! Can't they just knock me out, wake me up and have me be all better? :S
I have Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, a chronic pain condition that affects the nerves in all my limbs. It causes constant severe pain. From the time it started to a diagnosis to the many years of living with it my mom and I felt alone and confused in the process of learning to manage it and, even harder, how to TREAT it. I don't want others to feel alone so this is my way to reach out and share my experience through all the procedures, surgeries, medications, etc. Certainly a learning process…

Sincerely, Frightened To Death?
Ugh, my brain hurts...

What if I do something the wrong way and it doesn't work...
