Hi Everyone
 
I will be going into hospital on 25th July for a sympathic nerve block, ketamine infusion plus calcitonin infusion (all done while awake).
I will be in for 1 week Mon - Fri and will post when I can to let you all know how I got on.
 
Brooke

My md wants approval from w/c for ketamine infusion since the stellates are not working and symptoms are raging.  
 
Please let me know what you experienced during ketamine infusion and whether you had relief from symptoms.  Would you try it again?  My treatment should last about 3 hours.  Much depends on whether w/c will approve.  If denied, then Soc. may be my hope.  I just don't know if this will be covered, or if supplemental will pick up any difference.
 
What insurance approved the treatment, and how difficult was it to get approval?
 
I really hope that your treatment brought some quality of life for you and that you are doing better.  Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.
