My Life-Changing Experience with Ketamine Treatment

Let’s talk about Ketamine ! I recently finished my initial treatments. I wanted to share my experience with people because this has been life changing for me. No doctor recommended this to me! I understand it’s alternative medicine. I am now a fairly well functioning person after about a year of going downhill! I no longer have the “stabbies” (random stabs of pain in my body), my brain fog has lessened, my fatigue is down by at least 70% and I get less pain overall now. If you’re like me and have tried everything or have been told “you just need to exercise more” but nothing really helps,this is something to look into. There are some great articles to look at online that explains what ketamine does to your body. I’m hoping I can reach a few people on here that need to hear this! Feel free to message me with any questions :) I would love to try and help.

Help for Peripheral Neuropathy Pain?

Has anyone found any useful treatments of any kind to help with peripheral neuropathy? I had an EMG that came back normal. They're still thinking it could be small fiber neuropathy. I have an MRI scheduled, and there'll be a biopsy sometime after that. But I am in constant pain, which spikes to severe with pretty much any movement. Full legs, buttocks. Feet have been spared so far. But it's been spreading and getting worse for the last year. Gabapentin and ibuprofen are useless. I react badly to most new meds I try. Nortriptyline, starting with a super low dose is next to try. I don't have high hopes.
