Ketamine for post-treatment Lyme disease - video abstract 137975

/www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DtoGzpuSro

I am not sure how or why this would work for post Lyme pain. Is this even a thing?

It would seem to me to be very temporary at best. It doesn't get into any follow up study information.

I guess it is good to know what is available but I would recommend more frequent dosing of Magnesium before trying Ketamine therapy.

Ketamine has been used for people suffering from RSD/CRPS

I originally thought that's what I had...so looked into the ketamine treatment. There's been some success with it.
When I say 'looked into' it...I mean I read about it, but never really considered it.


some people went as far as having Ketamine induced coma. Wouldn't try that!


The Ketamine therapy is in a whole different category than magnesium dosing...
It's for people with intractable pain....where nothing is helping.

I don't see why it wouldn't work for helping with pain in people with LD.

Try Magnesium and Polygala Tenifula before Ketamine. Nevertheless, NMDA antagonists are interesting.

I can't speak for a systematic approach, but i've always found the claims of ketamine to be a little overly optimistic... Used to do plenty of it recreationally and I can't say it helped my Lyme or depression any more than alcohol would.
