Wow! This is incredible to hear. I'm so happy you're finding relief. I say, if you can do, do it!!!
The hospital I go to for my lidocaine infusions told me they just don't have the room yet for ketamine. I don't believe lidocaine is FDA approved for neuropathy treatment either but, my Dr believes in it and insurance covers it so, that's been my path for 3 months. I am by no means needing a wheel chair or walker currently and hopefully it won't come to that but the lidocaine is definitely shorter lived relief from what I understand than ketamine. My infusions take 4 1/2 hours weekly and when they work I am able to reduce my pain pills for a few days. Thanks for explaining the ketamine further for me. Nice chatting with you and all the best!
