Thank you teetee. The procedure part sounds a bit like chemotherapy but with a different medicine. I've never heard of a Ketamine Center but I will ask around. It's probably too far away and too much recovery time but I will ask my pain doctor any way. Peggy
Hi.. just reading your blog about chronic pain. I am on the fentanyl patch as well as hydrocodone. I was supposed to try the implanted pain nerve stim, but really don't want another surgery. I've never heard of ketamine. I want more than anything to be off this patch as I don't want to lose my pain management doctor and the next one won't prescribe. Thanks for info, I'll do some research! Carolinapearl.
Does insurance/medicare pay for the infusions?
Hi there, wondering if you could give me your experience in how to go about working with my doctor to get a ketamine nasal spray prescription to a compounding pharmacy in AZ. I also have small fiber neuropathy, but my neurologist is not informed about the benefits of ketamine. Do you have a specific clinic or doctor you could recommend? Thanks so much
TeeTee, may I ask what city you live in— and where you got your treatments? I’m almost afraid to hope. Did your insurance cover it? Thank you.
Fantastic that you're getting relief! I just asked my neurologist about the infusions and I was told insurance doesn't cover them (in my area) and I could go to a Ketamine Center locally and pay out of pocket. Do you mind me asking how it works for you?
