Hello everyone, I am wondering if anyone has heard of using Ketamine infusions to decrease fibromyalgia pain ? I hadn't heard of it until today ! Any input would be appreciated. Prayers for a pain free day for you all.

It sounds pretty hairy. In the comments below some people really thought it worked. I think I did read something about Ketamine infusions which sounded worse.
It does require a hospital stay. It is a very slow infusion. If they gave you the infusion to quickly you would totally trip out. I have heard of a shorter hospital stay where they knock you out so you don't remember the freaky trip caused by the Ketamine administratored quickly.
People use Ketamine recreationally to really trip out. People have had out of body experiences and near death experiences when they use it recreationally.
I have CRPS in my right foot and leg, CRPS is Fibro on steroids. I also have Fibromyalgia.
I considered Ketamine at one time for the CRPS but the results weren't great for patients with CRPS. So, I scrapped that idea.
I also was considered for a drug trial for Neridronate until I told them I have Type 2 CRPS. The trial was only for Type 1 CRPS.
Neridronate might be an option, once it is available to the public. It is an infusion too.
If Neridronate helps with CRPS I would think it would help people with Fibro. But you would have to find a doctor who would prescribe Neridronate for an off label use.
Take care.
They really trip BIG TIME!
