Ketamine IV

Hi everyone,
I went to this doctor and he also recommended Ketamine IV. i did one already. Not much to report.
Easy enough to handle, they say you need a few so jury is out so far.

I am scared to try cymbalta/neurontin/lyrica etc. and i don't think he likes these either too much. i just don't want to mess with my already fragile neurology any more than i have to.

I already am concerned about not getting dizzy or heaping on any more problems - the pain/sound sensitivity/migraines is enough, thanks!
i do not get fatigued or dizzy yet! thank goodness and sleep is so-so, not too bad, though pain keeps me up or sleeping lightly.... plusses for me.
i do have to take things to be comfortable even while asleep sometimes.

ps he gave me a topical cream with ketamine/gabapentin/lidocaine/ketoprofen. anyone try anything like this? so far i don't see the results, have been using it a week or so.
i keep thinking maybe i need a little longer.

for me, good old Ben Gay patches are still may favorite!

warmly,
Lotus

Hello Lotus. I have no experience with ketamine but there is a HW member (tmjpain) who posts on the chronic pain board who has had them for her severe chronic headaches. I got the feeling that she had a really tough time with them though and got no-minimal relief for her effort. Maybe you can contact her if you would like to hear about her experiences with it. Good luck, Lee

Thanks! So far, one treatment, you're supposed to have three or so. Not too much different yet, but then again, it started raining pretty seriously! That's a challenge! I will check this out.
