Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 HI Turnpike, Thanks hon that was a fascinating article about the Ketamine and the coma for pain... a bit scary I'd think but if one had pain that severe I can see why it's an option to keep open. *sigh* Would you do a 2 day infusion awake if you could? I see they can do that in the USA but not the longer coma treatment. If you find out more let us know.. It's been a good while since we've heard from you and I wondered how you were doing so it was good to hear from you! Hugs and do take care.Dee~ http://www.mapinc.org/tlcnews/v05/n1371/a03.htm?158 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Sandi...i am on 60mg of cymbalta and 200mg of neurontin---the longer i was on 'em the more i noticed i don't have breakthrough pain. I don't bhave to wipe with cold water or be so paranoid of what fluids would bother the area. I am going to persue crps because that is my diagonosis.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 What is CRPS? Do you know if they do this for dyesthestic vulvodynia (you know, the 24/7 burning and pain on contact.) Are you considering this? Warmly, Anne Who is totally bummed that I am facing my 40th birthday next month still struggling with this terrible condition. It is ruining my life. Re: Ketamine Coma Hiya Dee! What is fascinating is the Dr.'s say knowing how this works ons day will open the door to new treatments. I visited my pain management dr. in NYC and she tells me yes I have crps and yes I need another nerve block. I asked her about both the ketamine and lidocaine infusions, she said she has not see success, but if I want to try I can, just be careful of the side effects. Hospital in NJ does this procedure. Also the places in Philly. I am going to really call about this stuff because the 2 nationally renound crps docs are in her backyard. if i can't get a remission at least i will be the first to know about any news that comes my way....

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I have come to believe death will be the only cure for my condition---or a coma. CRPS is CHRONIC REGIONAL PAIN SYNDROME. Dr. Glazer believes us kids might have it (some of us), which leads me to question why he isn't sending us in for nerve block ebcause that is a cure if they catch it early. They might find a pain management Dr. and ask them, mine is in Beth Isreal. > > What is CRPS? > > > > Do you know if they do this for dyesthestic vulvodynia (you know, the 24/7 > burning and pain on contact.) > > > > Are you considering this? > > > > Warmly, > > > > Anne > > > > Who is totally bummed that I am facing my 40th birthday next month still > struggling with this terrible condition.
