Re: Dr. Hibner Said I Have CRPS of Pudendal Nerve
Medicare pays for my IV ketamine at 80% and I have been on it since 2011. My medigap policy pays the remaining 20% and if they don't I challenge them on appeal using a letter of medical necessity and the fact that nothing else worked for severe pudendal nerve pain. The ketamine has been a life saver...

Re: Dr. Aradillas - Pain due to autoimmune disease
NYT it's TCB. Good morning! I am wondering how you are doing after your treatments in Philly? I'm hoping you had great success and if not we always know there is HOPE for a cure for CRPS and PN during our lifetimes. Dr. Aradillas also diagnosed me with the CRPS and SFN and we were going to ask my in...

I would give anything to have some wealthy individual get behind this medication and our doctors and build...

IV ketamine
Ketamine Infusions for 2 years now. I am reporting again to make sure everyone knows that IV Ketamine does keep my PN under control and that it may very well work for you if you can find a physician who understands the medication and how to adjust the dose on an individual basis. I have worked my wa...
