Hey! Do you have any advice about talking to Dr's about ketamine infusion? I've tried all the nerve pain type of tablets (like amatryptaline) and I'm on crazy high opiates which I hate (but they're the only things that work) but my pain is still awful unless I take opiates constantly. The pain specialist don't seem to suggest anything. Loved this mini vlog ❤
So I’d say every case is different of course and unfortunately different areas have different rules and sometimes different funding and if your pain specialist still isn’t suggesting they can do anymore especially if it’s a local hospital I’d ask to get referred to a bigger hospital or specialist pain clinic (depending on your location, I’m an hour from London so my local referred me many years ago to UCLH in London). Also make sure to keep a diary of your pain and symptoms to see if there’s any pattern and so your doctor can see how bad it is etc I know it’s so hard though, it’s relentless at times and no no one wants to be on opiates if we didn’t need to be but we totally wouldn’t be! Sending you huge hugs 🤗 and I’m really glad you enjoyed the mini vlog, thanks for watching x
